Minimalist theme house .

It doesn’t go with the minimalist theme if the things in the house are kept to a minimum.

If a house is designed in a minimalist way,
it should be like that from the beginning of the design.

Generally,
in this kind of house,
the outside and inside with simple shapes, openings, etc. are minimal.
The roof shape is simple.

Reducing the time spend on cleaning and paying more attention to relaxation,
External and internal freedom are the basic elements of minimalism.

The choice of furniture, including the coloring of the walls and the floor, is done using two or three eye-pleasing colors to match the same pattern.

Although it looks simple from the outside, it basically costs more than an average house
But long term benefits with high quality finish.

Usually expect no regular replacements or damages by using high quality goods as a long term plan.

Pictures or decorations hung around the house
Small decorations piled on the tables, (ornaments) other decorations especially artificial plants etc. are not used.

Some live indoor plants , minimal wallpaper or designs could be used as the preferences of who are living in the house .

Before external material things
Mindset practice
Appreciates calmness, likes to live lightly and freely.

Although it is easy to live in this type of house for a person who maintains his inner peace well,

It is possible that this system will not bring happiness at all to those who enjoy collecting and accumulating souvenirs photos , ornaments , antiques and such things .

Find your own way , then your house will be a heaven !

Minimalist fashion

Minimalist fashion is in the one of top places in the world .

Along with many things like home decoration, time management, money management, fashion also has a high place in minimalism.

There are several main reasons for this.

  1. Financial convenience.

Answering global problems, being the least expensive.
Because a minimalist is tempted to maximize those resources, money is saved or money is not wasted.

  1. The green factor.

This is not strange.
Minimalists always think about the environment.

He always thinks about the things he discovers as well as the things he discards from himself to the environment.

Hence minimizing waste and disposal in an environmentally friendly manner,
always try to use eco-friendly fabrics.

  1. Amazing fashion

A minimalist has the potential to find out about customize your style.

You can afford and be yourself .
Find the right style.

By seeing it is lovely , attractive uncommon and different from just trending .

Create your own unique style and wear it confidently .

Some tips for financial management for home

We received several kitchen utensils as wedding gifts in 2014 .
Almost eight years later, I still use them.

Immediately after the marriage, we both took a house for rent, so we only had to buy a few essential items apart from the usable items we received.


A year later, when our son was born, we bought the washing machine, pressure cooker and blender while staying in my mum’s house for a while.


The following year, when we moved to
another city again after having our daughter,
it became easier for me to do the work alone with those essential items and with two small children,
we did not keep other dangerous furniture and things that children might fall or face accident .

As the children grow up and go to school, I Bought some other appliances which mostly needed to can manage my time better and easy.


I always try to buy brand new and brands with good reviews .

Those are convenient because I use them almost every day.
no need spare time for cleaning or just checking as they are using daily .

As our need arises from time to time
That’s where I buy kitchen or other things.

For that, I
It also refers to what is said to be in good condition and branded because it can be used without any problem without any problem even if a large amount is invested at once.

Usually minimalists do not try to buy stuffs when they just arrived to the market or during introducing period of a new item. They wait for sometimes and see .

I don’t like to buy random sale items or items that are offered to pay little by little.

By not doing so, I avoid unnecessary accumulation of belongings in my house.

Essentially, I save my money to buy goods in good condition and actually needed .

Don’t forget to try for thirty days rule before buying it.

It may happen that some of the items brought home and collected will be removed without being used once or sold at a low price.
As with clothes, I have similar past memories !

Many people do not have the space to build large houses like in the past times .

With a clear mind, it is better to do something to the best of your ability than to take a big loan and live a life where you have no freedom of mind.

Some are without considering economy level
Filled with all kinds of stuff,
Unable to move around inside the house.

By creating your home as a free place that provides space to live and not as a noisy place with unnecessary tables and chairs, you can automatically inherit a happy life.

After coming home from busy work or business place
A quiet house without turbulence is a place where the mind is calmed like a meditation.

That really what we calls a heaven .

Good day (a post written in 2021)

Transform your space, transform your life: embracing intentional minimalism [Minimalist Home ]

You might think that minimalists want to leave everything or give-up behind and live.

But minimalism is not like that.

When we identify our true needs, we have money left over to spend.

The value of things that last for a period of time increases a lot.

If you can easily create a house that you design yourself, you can install the necessary things that are higher than the price of a period.

Then you can get a luxurious look with a beautiful finish.

“Minimalism is expensive”
the reason for using this kind of term,
It may be because the concept of minimalism uses branded and good quality things .

Like minimalist luxury interior designs, there are also plenty of designs that can be adjusted to suit one’s economy.

But from the point of view of durability, using something more expensive cannot be considered as an increase in costs.

Decide for yourself whether you want to change the low-priced stuff that breaks down twenty times over ten years, or whether you want to complete the design with high-quality, high-quality stuff that is suitable for 20 years at the same time.

When creating the plan of a house,
do not go for the usual traditional designs and make a unique and different simple design for yourself.

Spend your life comfortably and comfortably to beautify your own place,

In a few small things like this,
It is possible to develop a person’s appearance as well as character.

With each passing year, I embrace the opportunity to reflect on and learn from those moments; empowered by my growth and resilience.

Unlock the power to transform your outlook by embracing everyday moments filled with positivity and hope.
Start now !

Self-confidence, self-satisfaction.
The thought sent to one’s mind by looking at oneself is stronger than what is said through the eyes of others.

I am concerned about that.

Every morning is an opportunity to reset and refocus on what truly matters.

I take a moment to reflect on my goals and envision success.

Simple Habits for a healthy mind , body and soul.

There are some human relationships that can’t be broken no matter how much philosophical talk you say and you have to be patient with the conversation even knowing the form.

Extremely close relationships.

However, after some incident caused heartache
Like forgetting to keep reminding yourself of this situation, giving yourself time to take the next step.
With someone who listens well,
If you can talk about it openly and free your mind
Getting rid of existing moods (difficult moods) can be done very quickly.

Rather than finding a solution to the problem by talking to someone
Listening attentively begins to set the mind free!

Moods are not something to stick to.

Because as the negative value sinks, the best-case scenario increases.
Getting rid of it quickly and if time is a problem, it is more admirable to wait until the solutions are found and live in a normal state.

From there, it helps a lot to regain energy and calm the mind to implement small methods that improve the mind and body.

There are some ways to improve the mind and body in the following pictures.

I will also write some methods that work for me.

🍂To change your mind by watching some irrelevant youtube programs. Irrelevant was said to start like this (31 st night , one or two TV programs like Christmas parties or vlogs made by some people).

🍂 An hour long music program or discussion

🍂 Old telenovelas with bitter and harsh natures

🍂Malayalam movies and
Some English movies – mainly based on true stories

🍂Trying new food recipes.

🍂Vary the exercise and take more time.

Those are the things that work for me.

The things that are right for them are different, so the things that are right for them are to be open to some stressful situations easily .

For those ,who want to change your life as a minimalist

1.
Make a list

Make a list of all the reasons you want to live more simply.
Are you a borrower?
What is that for?

Do you have enough time to spend with your family?

Do you sleep well at night?

2.
Find unwanted things
Walk at home.
Collect the only things you don’t use anymore.
Choose unnecessary cups from the same type of cups in the kitchen.
Collect such things and pack them in a box or cupboard.

If you don’t need to use it for thirty days (one month), donate it to someone who doesn’t have it.

You can resell as pre loved items too.

3.
Introduce residents to a disturbance-free zone in the home.

This is a kitchen table.
It could be a few chairs in the living room, a bedroom, or a kitchen drawer.
If you enjoy that clean, clear environment, expand the zone a little by little each day.

When first practicing, a clutter-free dressing table can turn into a messy room ,
A clutter-free room can become the clutter-less home you’ve been thinking about.

4.
Travel lightly.

Family trips, leisure trips, we use minimalism and simplicity. If you are traveling for 4 days depending on the nature of the trip, accommodation etc., pack for three days,
You can wash or hang the same clothes if you want.

Even if you don’t always think this is possible, pack only the essentials then experience how it feels to carry less luggage.

5.
Use less clothes.

Think carefully about the clothes you have with you considering your duty, profession and other travels.
Open the closet to see if there are any forgotten clothes that you haven’t been able to wear after a while.
If so, realize that you are dressed without them and that it is useless to keep them around in case you need them someday.

6.
Prepare simple meals.
This does not mean that you have to eat the same food every day…. But from time to time you can buy cheap vegetables and fruits as they are abundant and prepare them in different ways and eat them.

Try it for a week.
Ask the likes and dislikes of the family.

7.
Save some money 💰 .
An emergency fund simplifies everything. If you are paying off any debt, put a small amount into a cardless account.
Do this for about 6 months and check that account.
You really feel happy.

If not all of these at once,
try one by one and take small steps forward to reach the simple life you desire. Even if it takes 10 years to get to where you think you want to be, the rewards happen quickly.

The joys of being a beginner minimalist intrigue you.

So a good start for those who want to go on that journey

Do you want to be a minimalist ?

I love being a minimalist !

But how to start?

I like free space,

but how to reduce this stuff around me and inner me.

But where to start…..?

In order to make life easier, the right intelligence should be allowed to make decisions.

Those who are thinking of becoming a minimalist, with all these debt burdens, restlessness, It is difficult to start.

It’s been a few years since I started becoming a minimalist.

But, when it is forgotten,
Cases where this concept could not be used
And there are many cases where this concept has been used very well in life.

Becoming a minimalist may not be something that can be done in one month, five months or a year or two .

Even after years, I can’t be a complete minimalist.
I also don’t want to be an extreme minimalist or total minimalist .
I just try in many ways that easy for me.

This is a never-ending journey and new things are always being added to learn, know and search.

Within a few years, I had my eating patterns, shopping, debt, health, home and busyness under control.
Even more efforts were made to clear the mind.

In my experience, this change brings comfort to my life and to my family.
The house has automatically become a peaceful place due to not getting angry with the husband as well as with the children.

Children also get that advantage.

I experimented and still do to decide what is good enough for me.

We are still experimenting with things that are there, using things that are there for a long time rather than removing them and taking and deciding things according to need.

Next I’ll write about a few ways you can simplify your life and become a minimalist
(a beginner or somewhere along your journey).

Do you think these things are worth knowing?

Happy minimalist journey to all
