Declutter with me | Minimalism | Scandinavian

[@eddbazaar]

When I was in my 20s I loved colour and the eclectic look. Now I’m my 30s, I really require the tranquility and peace that comes from neutrals and simplicity. Funny how we grow and change with time. Your apartment is beautiful and inspiring. I struggle with two preschoolers to keep my house clutter free. It’s definitely a process!

[@whomadethewordword5035]

Thank you for moving your camera slowly 🤗

[@larryfowler6648]

I spent the whole fall decluttering and cleaning out the house of things we dont need the house feels organized and amazing

[@Ann-jx7ri]

I've watched lots of videos on decluttering. This is the first one that I've seen that shows me what to do with those necessary things that look so messy scattered over tables and countertops.

[@BenitaLarsson]

I’m so happy you found it useful!

[@eily_b]

I use the lockdown for decluttering and cleaning my home at an intensive level. Spring cleaning galore.

[@BenitaLarsson]

I don’t think the world will ever see so many well organized and clean homes again!

[@eily_b]

@@BenitaLarsson Haha 😃 You bet!

[@JasperTheTimidCat]

Same. But it has been an opportunity to test all the organisation and see how “liveable” the changes are.

[@katerinasimeonidou]

Benita, you opened up a whole new perspective of living. Thank you.

Oh wow! I’m so happy to hear that!

[@5kChristina]

Benita, I love your videos! They are so calming and motivating that I binge-watched all of the videos on your channel in two days! Always looking forward to new ones! Thanks for sharing!

[@BenitaLarsson]

Aww, this makes me so happy! Thank you!

[@liatori6214]

Just the perfect video for me before I head off for a nightshift at the hospital. Not for the first time have I noticed items of yours that I have too. Like the shaker box. So your place feels a bit like my home.I have a light weighed basket that I tend to carry around at home. It carries stuff like a book, my tablett, phone, sudoku, kleenex ie. My husband thinks of it so funny that I have a "home purse". 😊❤ Keep safe 💖

[@BenitaLarsson]

I love the home purse! Keep safe you as well! I’m in awe of everyone on your profession!🙌🏻

[@alexbaer4572]

🙏🏼 to you and all out there doing their part for us all who have to stay put. Stay safe.

[@maplesugarfever]

I love that wooden apple. Little unique treasures like that are so wonderful, especially when they do more than just look nice!

[@BenitaLarsson]

I live it when a thing of beauty also has a function!

[@BenitaLarsson]

Just a heads up about the apple. Someone found a very similar one on Amazon so I thought I'd share! amzn.to/2XqcGWk (affiliate link)

[@TGYtco]

I know this is a new video, but I just found your channel and have been watching old and new videos. They are calming and you are so good at videography! One thing I have noticed about your apartment is that keeping the tuns, baskets, and bins in white and wood makes it look less cluttered than it would if they were multiple colors. I love how it looks!

[@julien3544]

Love the bits of green through out your apartment.

[@BenitaLarsson]

Love me a bit of green!🙌🏻🌱🌿☘️🙌🏻

[@PeaceLoveAndEternalGrooviness]

As I was watching I was looking around the room at what I could put away in a box, tray, etc. Think this your best video for me yet, thanks.

[@alisonowen8547]

What a beautiful serene video to watch in the midst of this Covid 19 madness. Thank you!

[@BenitaLarsson]

I know, crazy times, right?

[@ellendykstra2368]

It just amazes me how many new ideas I get form your videos. I've been downsizing for years and it's only been the last two years that I've called myself a minimalist. Your 30-day minimalist game video gave me great ideas I had not thought about. I didn't reach the goal but 223 items out of my one-bedroom apartment felt great. Now, I won't feel sad looking at containers I don't think I need, I'll look at them as helpful containers to keep my place looking fresh and calming. Thanks.

[@BenitaLarsson]

Great job with 223!🙌🏻

[@111-x5x]

Enjoyed this video very much. That is the secret - hide clutter needed daily in baskets, boxes, tubs or..... But your wooden apple is what I love, as do many others in the remarks. All the best and kindest greetings from Zurich.

Maybe you could do a video about sports an health/bodycare in general, when you feel better again. I wish you the best for that and send you all my love. ♡

[@anaalves3658]

I have not tried using trays to control clutter, I like baskets. I loved all of your storage solutions, they all look beautiful 😍😍😍 , your home is so calming to look at. I like neat and tidy, but my husband is very messy 🤦 but this evening he walked into the living room and thanked me for how clear and tidy the kitchen counter was, he appreciates it, he just can't seem to do it himself. I am trying to teach our daughter to pack her things away before bed, it's a bit of a battle some times, but she too can see and appreciate having a clean, tidy, clutter free home 👍😉

[@TheHeroSaver]

I've been watching alot of your videos recently. I love how you have a more cozy minimal feel than trying to have as little as possible just to fit a stereotype. I'm from an area in Canada that has 4 very different seasons making it hard to be very minimal, your videos have been helping me loads.

[@jddr555]

You've inspired me to get rid of most everything and start fresh. Different colored sheets, etc., Dishes I like but aren't esthetically pleasing, so much stuff. I used to have so much of it. I now live full time in a travel trailer with no slide outs so purging is feeling wonderful! Did I mention that I'm on a fixed income? No more finding lots of sheets from thrift stores. I only need a few and I'm going to buy white. White is so clean feeling and calms me. I'm also working on my trailer, doing a bit each month as I can. I've used TSP, and I'm priming my walls. Next is the perfect white paint (travel trailers are always so dark inside). You've made a HUGE difference in my life, opening up my eyes to what's important and what's not. Thank you from the bottom of my ❤️

[@ixelrus]

Definitely going to try out the tray idea ❤️ it! Can’t get over how similar we are, it’s mad 😁 hello from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@CLAWZGALAW]

1st of all .... as much as it seems like putting everything in a tray just to put it on your coffee table doesn’t make sense ......... it literally just changed the whole game for me. #mindblown 🤯 Thank you for this video!!!

[@BenitaLarsson]

So happy if this helped!

[@lupebutterfly9161]

That was my first thought, but because she also uses a stool as a coffee table, if she wants to have a cup of tea, it's easier to move the tray and put it on the floor, and not every single item on it. In my opinion, it makes sense thus, the stool becomes a multi-purpose item. I have been in the process of becoming a minimalist for about 10 years and when keeping an item, I always think if that item can serve more than one purpose.

[@NoodlesMusings]

@@lupebutterfly9161 I feel that is a good lesson for me to think if an item has more than one purpose. I am in the middle myself of becoming a minimilist and I am also helping a friend move. She has moved from a one room bedsit. The amount of items she had that were one use products. It was like moving a room of pound land or Kleeneasy products. It really enforced to me about the one use products issue.
