Don’t you love walking into homes where it feels like the owners don’t actually have any possessions to speak of at all? They’re spacious, tidy and clean and filled with smooth surfaces not cluttered up with anything. I mean, literally nothing at all.
It makes you wonder where they store all their stuff, doesn’t it?
Minimalism has a lot going for it, that’s for sure. However, it’s also quite challenging to live your life like that when you think of all the things you do need to get by from day-to-day. For example, we all have paperwork we have to deal with. Even if you have a good filing system you’ll still need somewhere to store it. Then there are clothes, books and other possessions to think about. In fact, the more you do think about it, the less space you seem to have.
We think these minimalists might just be hiding a secret. We reckon some of them (maybe the vast majority) have a storage unit tucked away somewhere nearby, within a short drive. That’s where they keep all the things they need to have without wanting them cluttering up their home. It’s the perfect way to get the minimalist look without giving up anything, isn’t it?
The good news is this could work for you too. Of course, it’s worthwhile to have some great storage solutions at home too. You won’t be able to keep everything in your storage space because some of it will be needed more often. However, once you’ve got organised you can store everything else in your local storage facility. It’s the best way to get the best of all worlds so you’re able to show off your minimalist look whenever you have friends round for dinner.
