In the previous blog we talked about one of the first steps to become a minimalist which was decorating your surroundings with modern and simple pieces like the LC2 sofa. Now is time to show you more ways to introduce you to this incredible movement.

Select neutral hues

Colors are an important part of the vibes you want a room to have. These are closely related to energy and even influence how spaces look. For example, when we paint a room white or with light colors, it tends to look larger and larger. On the other hand, when we delimit spaces with dark colors like black, it somehow creates an illusion of shrinking.

Leave only what is necessary

Surround yourself with people who are necessary and who bring positive things in your life. It is not necessary to have a long list of acquaintances who contribute toxicity to your life.

This also applies to the amount of furniture and accents that are in your home. Try to only have the pieces that you are going to use. For example, if you choose a sofa like the LC2, you only need a coffee table and an accent chair to set up your living room.
