Inspirations for a minimalist lifestyle 🤍🤎

It all started when we watched a documentary by The Minimalists when it just launched on Netflix in 2016. If you are interested to watch, the full documentary is now on YouTube (advertisement free) and off Netflix already.

Around the same time, we also chanced upon Marie Kondo’s book - The life-changing magic of Tidying up. I finished the book in 2 days and started my decluttering frenzy.

I’ve always enjoyed organising and moving things around since young, but it felt like I was just moving my clutter around. As The Minimalists always say, “The easiest way to organize your stuff is to get rid of most of it.”

I felt much lighter and happier after removing things that don’t bring me joy and only keeping those that spark joy!

As we delved deeper, we realised minimalism wasn’t about deprivation. Instead, it offered abundance of a different kind - an abundance of time, of space, and of clarity meaning. Our home became a reflection of this newfound philosophy.

During covid period when we were stuck at home and looking for inspirations for renovating our BTO, we chanced upon Tommy Simple Tokyo Life on YouTube. His videos brought us calm amidst the covid chaos. His Small but Rich home and life really motivated us to pursue something similar.

Living minimally has been more than just a design choice. It’s been an evolving journey towards a life filled with purpose, intention, and joy, and we are definitely still learning along the way!
