Minimalist Decorating for Your New Home | Trusted American Mortgage

Moving into a new home is a great opportunity to create a space that is all your own. It is also a great time to get rid of the excess that cluttered up your old home and decorate your new place in a more minimalist fashion.

Minimalism doesn’t always mean bare walls and a bland color palette. It typically means a more simplified style with less clutter taking up valuable space.

While everyone has their own idea of what a minimalist home is, there are many ways to create a cozy, decluttered space where you’ll feel less stressed, more balanced and relaxed.

Consider Multi-Purpose Furniture

A great way to get the functional pieces you need for a comfortable home, while keeping a clutter-free space, is getting multipurpose furniture. For example, it is easy for a coffee table to become cluttered with remotes, books and other things.

Instead of dealing with the constant clutter, consider purchasing an ottoman that can hide these items or a new coffee table that doubles as a covered storage unit.

Increase the Lighting

Bright, warm light makes any space feel more welcoming. Especially in a smaller area, light is your best friend.

This could mean switching your current window treatments to a sheerer option or opening the curtains daily to bring the natural light indoors. If windows are sparse in your new home, consider adding more lamps and light fixtures to improve the brightness in your home.

Pops of Color

The last thing you want to do in a bright, clean space is clutter up the area with lots of color, patterns and textures. Instead, consider adding subtle pops of color.

This is a great way to add your personal style to your space without going overboard with color stimulus.

Additional Minimalist Decorating Tips

One of the best ways to keep up with your minimalist and tidy aesthetic is to declutter often. Don’t let items build up within your home; consider letting go of something when purchasing something similar.

When it comes to holiday decor, consider keeping it neutral and simple. Choose pieces that can easily integrate into your current decor and can store away in your storage spaces. Be festive—but keep your clutter-free space in mind!
