Minimalism is a concept that people use in many parts of life. In interior design, it’s characterized by intentional simplicity and organization. Everything has its own place and everything has a reason to be included—thus helping you avoid distraction, clutter and achieve better focus. If you’re curious about adopting minimalism into your own home, here are a few more benefits to consider:
Less is more with minimalism, which positively affects your wallet. Fewer items in your home means the less money spent on obtaining and maintaining them. For interior design specifically, this means fewer expensive furnishings and decorative items to fill each room. Instead of a higher quantity of items, fewer higher quality items can help you feel more connected to your home and everything in it.
Fewer items in your home also means less time spent cleaning and taking care of them. You can say the same for the home, too. Many homeowners choose to downsize their living spaces to live simpler, and much of that ease comes from reduced time and energy on cleaning, organizing and more. You may find that you have time to take up an entirely new hobby with all the time saved thinking minimalist in your home design and decor.
Reducing your consumption also reduces waste. Many minimalist experts will suggest dramatic lifestyle changes like exchanging a car for a bicycle or converting your home’s energy grid entirely to solar. However, even minor changes can help you create a minimalist home. Anything you can do to reduce waste will also help you reduce clutter and improve your own peace of mind all while helping the environment.
Like all design and lifestyle choices, minimalism isn’t for everyone. It’s also not something that has to be achieved all at once. Rather than completely overhaul your home to fit a more minimalist lifestyle, try focusing on one room at a time. If you’re looking for a change, whether it be design style or lifestyle, these benefits are worth considering.
Welcome to Long Island Living at its best! The South Shore of Suffolk County is a suburban area that runs along the shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean. Homes in this area consist of primarily residential properties. This area tends to be diverse in culture and income as it varies by hamlet, village or town. Residents along the South Shore have access to many beaches, parks and recreational activities. I pride myself on my honesty, integrity, hard work and personal service. My first career was in education, starting as a teacher then finishing as a guidance counselor and achieving my Master’s and two PD's. In 1986, I began my real estate career. In a sense, I am still an educator and offering guidance; this time I am outside of the classroom educating my clients on the selling and purchasing processes; which have become so complicated recently and guiding them safely through the confusing and ever-changing real estate market. It is very satisfying to me to help people with not only the greatest financial asset in their lives but their greatest emotional asset; where they celebrate holidays, raise their families and live their lives. I take the needs of my clients very seriously and as a result, I am proud to say, over 90% of my sales are the result of referrals and recommendations. Primarily, my areas of service are the Townships of Babylon and Islip on Long Island’s beautiful South Shore, near pristine beaches and wonderful boating, yet only 55 minutes from Manhattan; truly the best of both worlds.
