Or are you totally new to this concept and considering taking a minimalistic apprach to your house? There really is not right or wrong way to decorate a bedroom, although there are lots of benefits to going for minimaism.
In this article we hope to give you some ideas and inspiration for taking this route in your bedroom, and we have also included some quotes from the world famous Japanese TV show host, and author, Marie Kondo. Her Netflix series, 'Tidying Up With Marie Kondo' has been a huge hit and her phrase spark joy has really made people think about what is actually needed in the home.
Here are some of the advantages of having a minimalist design.
1. A minimalist bedroom is easier to clean
The lack of unneeded items in a minimalist bedroom makes it easier to clean. With less clutter, there are fewer things for your vacuum cleaner to suck up and more floor space that's easy to sweep or mop.
"Tidying is just a tool, not the final destination. The true goal should be to establish the lifestyle you want most once your house has been put in order.” - Marie Kondo.
2. Peace of mind
Sometimes having way too many things cluttered into a bedroom can be stressful. Bedrooms that are not overloaded with things can make a much more relaxed and peaceful environment. Remember a bedroom is primarily for sleeping, and if you feel at ease in the room, the chances are you will sleep much better.
3. Find happiness
`This might sound a bit dramatic, like how can having a minimalist bedroom create hapiness? Well, as Marie Kondo says: “Putting your house in order is the magic that creates a vibrant and happy life.”
You can also make your bed the focus point of the room, and after all, this is the most important aspect of any bedroom.
4. Create more space
Sometimes quality over quantity really is better, like does any person really need the amount of household things we are so often promoted to buy. With the bedroom decluttered you can use the extra space for different things, for example, you might have more space to roll out your yoga mat.
Like do you really need to be attached to a bedside take, or wardrobe, or storage bench? In the grand scale of life these things really aren't that important and you really can live without them.
5. Reflect your lifestyle
If you are aiming for a more clean living lifestyle, sometimes starting with decluttering your home can be a good place to start. This can really invigorate a start or change to your life you might be seeking. Also starting with a minamilistic bedroom, could help motivate you to follow this design approach for the rest of your house.

6. Save money
Let's be honest, some bedroom accessories and furniture can be very expensive, especially if you want more than the basic range. But if you opt not to go for the overloaded look, and keep it simple, you can save lots of money towards others things you enjoy in your life, maybe save the money towards a new trip, adventure or hobby.
