What Makes A Space “Minimalistic”?
In a post by J. Becker (2024) on the blog “Becoming Minimalist”, he writes that minimalism is marked by “clarity, purpose, and intentionality. At its core, being a minimalist means intentionally promoting the things we most value and removing everything that distracts us from it.“
Becker mentions that intentionality looks different for everybody, there is no “one size fits all”. He explains it requires each of us to dive deeper and become “more introspective about our values and passions.”
With all of that being said, there is more to minimalistic living. It’s a way to live simpler, calmer, and without stress. We often buy more than we need or know how to handle (in my case it’s clothes) and it can lead to a lot of stress. Far more stress than it’s worth, if you ask me.
Living minimalistic is a way to enjoy the smaller things in life. Simplicity. It’s a way to learn appreciation.
10 Amazing Minimalist Living Space Ideas:
1. Neutral Minimal – Tans & Whites
This living room is doing a great job of being effective and minimalistic. The open shelves are perfect for any needed storage while remaining out of the way, simple, and easy to access for dusting (something I think about a lot as an adult). The neutral tones are also extremely elegant and minimal to me, making the space feel calm and clean.

2. Soft Minimal – Tans & Whites
I absolutely love the soft, fuzzy feel of this living room! If you want to save money on a large photo like the one shown below, consider taking a trip, gathering sand, and gluing the sand to a large frame. Not only are you preserving a memory, you’re saving money!

3. Colored Minimal – Oranges & Greens
Don’t enjoy the “basic” minimalistic style? Go for something a little more colorful and even a little boho.

4. Black Minimal – Neutral Dark
I’ll be honest – I love black. It’s so comforting and safe feeling to me, and with the write added hues and colors, it can really elevate a space! I’m not sure the black cloth sofa would go well with my two white dogs though…

5. Gray Minimal – Dark Neutral
Like the one before, this living space has darker neutrals and a moody color pallet.
