Luxury through Minimalism

To me, luxury is there things:

1. Having nice things
2. Excellent mental health
3. Free time to do whatever I want

Here's my outline for why I think minimalism is the right approach for this and how we can implement them.

Fewer, Higher Quality Things

Having fewer things allows you to spend more on them. If done correctly, over time, everything you'll have will be high quality luxury goods. The two spaces in our homes that need this the most are the kitchen and the wardrobe. Figure out what you need, slowly invest in higher quality items and phase out the old. This shouldn't be a stressful process. Take weeks or even months if you have a busy schedule!

Less Clutter, Cleaner Aesthetics

Having fewer things allows you to be more intentional about storage. Clear counter tops, well organised shelves and drawers - This is the dream! If there are fewer items to manage and everything has a home, chances are, you can maintain order for longer.

Less Time Searching, More Chilling

We spend a lot of time searching for things. Maybe it's that one concert shirt or simple things like a peeler in the kitchen. Less is more here - Less things allow you to find what you need faster and save a lot of time. If things have their own home, chances are, you don't have to search at all.

At the end of the day, take all the time you saved and spend it doing things you like: Maybe plan a holiday!

Less Time Cleaning, More Time Living

This was the largest reason I was drawn to minimalism - I saved hours in cleaning time! I had less laundry, less dishes, almost no stress and a tonne of renewed excitement to try new things.

This blog was a byproduct of this process too!
