5 Easy Ways To Start Your Minimalist Home Office
It's 2 in the afternoon. Your desk is messy, there's clutter everywhere, and there's a stain on the carpet.
It's time to change some things around.
Perhaps you just want to change your workspace aesthetic - or maybe you simply need a way to make your work environment more productive. In both cases, a minimalist style checks the boxes!
Minimalism in the home is more than just a trend; it's a functional and efficient style that also looks beautiful.
It can feel a bit intimidating once you choose to change to live a minimalist lifestyle. But once you do it, you can be sure that it's worth it!
But now that you've decided to do it - where do you begin?
The answer is simple. Here are 5 easy ways that you can start your minimalist home office:
Define your space.
The first and most overlooked step in starting your minimalist home office is dedicating a specific place for your work. If you use the office as a playroom, music room, living room, etc., clutter will naturally pile up.
Which brings us to our next step:
Get rid of your clutter or organize it.
The only stuff you need from the piles of papers piled up in your drawers are important records and documents from the past year.
Use the Bora Minimalist Triangle Document Holder for your books, files, and papers:
Or the storage bins like the Lucca Bamboo Storage Basket for bulkier items (they even make fantastic plant pots):
Limit your distractions.
With anything minimalist, less is more. Have only a few pieces you need to brighten your office, like a plant or sofa - besides these, there's no need for any extra decor on display.
The Blooms Marble Succulent Vase is an excellent choice of decor. Minimal, beautiful and also versatile, you can even use it for your pens.
Have a statement piece to accent your workspace.
Something as simple as a clock, painting, vase, or even a mug for your coffee (or your pens). The statement piece is the personalized piece of art that makes your minimalist space uniquely yours.
The Marie-Anne Ceramic Mug makes a great statement piece - and offers the perfect place to hold your coffee.
Keep your desktop clean at all times.
This goes without saying, but we often leave the large, empty spaces on our desk with a bunch of pens, notes, and other knick-knacks. It's important to keep it clean and neat at all times - after all, the desk is the visual representation of the mind.
The Colora Storage Basket makes it easy to keep your desk organized and clean while keeping everything you need within arm's reach.
With these 5 easy tips, you are ready to make your office space beautiful, minimal, and ultra-productive. Be sure to keep it practical and efficient - keep it out of sight if it's not something you will need constantly.
But more importantly, have fun with it and know you can always work with what you already got.
