a guide to creating a minimalist home

by becoming minimalist on May 28, 2008

as i began to search on-line for help in becoming minimalist, i didn’t find a ton of helpful information – which of course doesn’t mean it isn’t there, it just may mean that i haven’t found it yet.

however, one article from zenhabits.net continues to pop-up in various search engines, blogs, and discussion threads.  it is appropriately titled, “a guide to creating a minimalist home” and will serve as our starting point for step-by-step instructions as we journey to become minimalist.

I read the article. It has good advice, however there is one point Babauta keeps making that I totally disagree with and that’s color! “Subdued, solid color,” he says. Why? Can’t a minimalist lifestyle be achieved with bright colors and pattern? Color has a huge effect on my mood and I would soon become depressed in a home with only subdued solid colors. Way to reinforce the old sterotype that minimalist is boring!
