To everyone posting rude comments saying how bored you are, how useless or colorless or wasteful these ideas are, why are you watching videos like this? Go somewhere else to watch and find entertainment. If you watched looking for tips, as I did, but if you didn't like the ideas, then go somewhere else and try other ideas, but there is no need to express every colorless, unhelpful, rude comment that flies into your heads. This creator is obviously trying solutions that are personally helpful for her and that she hopes will help other people. Not all ideas are for everyone. Please keep your comments respectful and kind.

I'm a 57 year old single man & I've recently discovered that minimalism is for me. My job takes me into people's houses and I now shudder at all the clutter and knick-knacks people live with. Coming back to my home (which is a work in progress) is an almost spiritual experience. The simplicity, peace and calm of it all is so restful. As a child I always loved the hush of libraries and art galleries. I find minimalism gives me that same emotion. I'm not just limiting myself to decor. I'm building a limited wardrobe which will consist of classic designs in neutral colours that mix and match. I'm going back to a dumb phone (I'm not on social media anyway). It great fun thinking of new ways I can add space and time to my life. By the way, I love the tip about removing labels from items. It makes a huge difference.

I do quite a few of these things, and I think for some people it can be difficult to understand why we go through the “hassle” of removing labels and such. But as someone who gets distracted and visually overwhelmed so easily, it’s actually more stress if I *don’t* do these things.

Some great tips, I have a difference of opinion regarding colour... If you love colour, like me, you don't need neutrals to reduce visual clutter. I suggest choosing a colour palette for your interior that is ideally kept limited to 1-2 base colours and maybe 2 additional pops of colour. Staying strictly to your colour theme consistently throughout will still provide a sense of colour uniformity and provide the eye a chance to rest.

1. Edit down decor item 2. Give every item a home 3. Organize/hide smaller items into bins 4. Stick to neutral colors for daily items, including cleaning supplies (white, natural, gray) 5. Decant products from busy packaging/ labeling into clear & uniform containers 6. Remove labels/ stickers (food containers, cleaning products, clothing/ accessory labels, etc) 7. Remove packaging (ex plastic wrap around toilet paper) 8. Keep straight lines in your home (ex keep shelves on same level/in same horizontal line)

We accomplish a minimalistic life in our tiny home but still enjoy color. Our palette of aqua blue, orange and yellow on a background of white, cheers us all year long. Our spaces are clutter free but we have a few pieces of colorfully happy art on the walls. Mid Century Modern vibe. I love the way you emphasize that there are different ways and levels of minimalism. Neutrals bring some people peace and calm but others need pops of color to add a vibrant note to our decor. Love, love, love your channel

I have a slightly different approach to this. In my case, the kitchen cabinets are unpainted light wood and the marble countertops and backsplash are also a light brown. To my eyes, that is so much tan/brown. I chose to get as many colorful accessories as possible, as a means of giving a few colorful pops to the area. Otherwise, it's a sea of boring brown. That being said, my countertops are not very cluttered, so it's still a visually soothing space for me.

I do so many similar things - decanting, removing labels (household items and clothes etc, removing packaging and straight lines.

It's nice to know I'm not alone!

Undergoing leukaemia treatment myself, I fully understand your approach. Your apartment is great, there is however one very irritating thing - radiators and all that plumbing. I sorted out that issue in my house with the underfloor heating covered in polished concrete surface. Yes, it is not to everyone's liking to dig out whole flooring area, but it brings so many positive aspects: remove radiators and use space for furniture (or nothing...), redistribution of heat is even and targets the coldest part of body, feet. Also creates a new dimension of space - it's joyful watching kids playing on the floor and knowing there are not getting cold.

So true about white and neutrals blending in. My color palate is pinks and light greens and warm browns, but when I adopted my cat I bought her accessories in white or naturals. Her litter box and food and water bowls are white, and her basket of toys is a wicker hamper with a white liner. Her cat scratcher/bed is white and birch wood. They blend into the background very well, so I was able to incorporate everything to an already styled room without them sticking out too much.

Hello from Texas! I’m so happy to have found your channel. I want to create a more minimalist home but my partner is not on board. Watching your videos is so calming. I had the privilege of spending time in Sweden on a study abroad program years ago. I attended Jonkoping international business school and also got to spend some time in Stockholm. Thank you for your beautiful videos!

And another beautiful video.... I hate to say the word “perfectionist” but it takes one to know one! I do a lot of the same things you do! The pictures hanging to high on a wall has always made me crazy!! I don’t even like a tv hung up high on a wall..... Why would you want to look up all the time? Not relaxing... Hope your feeling well! 💗💗

Yes...I found that for me, too. Liking warm colours in my appartement I used a powdery Rose, warm golden beige, light and intensiv as well as light wood and Linon a.s.o., combined with glass. Containers more closed, in natural materials. Just to inspiration!

I would advise not to remove labels from chemicals which can be hazardous to one' s health. Never mind living alone. Mistakes may be too easy to come and in case one gets an allergy or swallows something because the label has fallen off or so - just be careful. I sort, categorize and keep my chemicals according to their purpose, frequence of use. Chemicals remain in their original package. Medical background says this is the way - at least for me.

What a treat! I deliberately saved it to watch it this morning, instead of last night and it was a morning delight to watch this wonderfully composed, inspirational video. Many things I already do, over the years (e.g. label removing& decanting), but your ways are more elegant and clean. Seeing Mr. Bonus was especially nice. I also loved the new angles and perspectives you used in this one... As you put it so wisely, when you declutter the visual matters, you can see more of what really matter :-) Many thanks for all the efforts you are making into all your works, dear Benita ♥

Thank you for all the videos you do. I look forward to every other Tuesday when the next one is released. And your monthly newsletter. There is so much content packed into each video that I often watch them several times and learn or see something I had missed before. Your work is so professional and I truly value all that you do. 😊

another great video! i’m currently in the process of transitioning the aesthetic of my house, room by room and this video is a great reminder of how simple it can be. it’s definitely taking me longer than expected but i am trying to be intentional about what new or vintage items i bring into the space vs. donation vs trash.

In my pantry I store all jars and bottles in reused clear plastic containers I've bought fruit in, from the supermarket.. I can see the products and more importantly the shelves stay clean, avoiding having to regularly wipe them down.

For the decant part, I’m worried that the food at the bottom don’t get used as they always remain at the bottom when the container is refilled. I tend to take the remaining out first if possible (usually small amounts left), put new batch in, then the old batch on top.

@Spring Lemon One way is to use a container that has a bigger capacity than the original bag or box. Or have a smaller container for the excess that don't fit, to be consumed first (this could be the old batch for example). Personally if I need to keep them in original bag or box, it's mainly to take note of the expiry or best-before dates.

Eye level, people, eye level! Heehee. I moved in with a boyfriend and he hung my mirror so high, I couldn't see myself at all. In fact, the light from the wall sconces reflected back into my eyes. NOOOOOOOOO! Wonderfully produced video. Thank you Benita.

Hi i just discovered your videos. Wow im loving it very much. You have inspired me so much on reducing visual clutter. I have been on this journey for a few years now. I found this very helpful especially with a son in university and studying from home. I just decluttered his area and im sure it will declutter his mind. I so appreciate your work. Be blessed. Thank you
