    I pretty much had this very exact setup last year when I rented out a room. The crappy sterilite 'dresser' and storage bin included haha. And mattress on the floor is fine. Don't let anyone guilt trip you otherwise!

    I’ve had my mattress on the floor for 2 years now and I like it a lot. I too have been called dirty for having it like that but I don’t care, it works for me. Your room looks so calming. I’ve just started my minimalist journey and I’m in the process of decluttering. I want and need my room to look as calming as yours does.

    I find that as I reduce things I fill the space with more living type things. For me this is using woods instead of plastics, replacing decor with plants, and incorporating more greens than any other color (more blacks and grays in clothes).

  • @monstana
    @monstana 2 роки тому +4

    The different types of wood mixed with grey and all the light, make the room appeal very cozy. Your bedroom tour motivates me to declutter even more. Simple, peaceful and homey.

    I also only have a mattress, and same reason I was looking to get a Japanese floor bed. I ended up really liking only the mattress so I'm sticking to it. I do feel like it's important to clean the floor every day or at least every other day, and I don't wear shoes in my apartment so it's pretty easy to keep it clean.

    There’s absolutely nothing wrong with floor sleeping. :) As a rather new minimalist myself I personally enjoy low platform beds and Japandi/wabi sabi style. It keeps you well grounded. If I may give some advice, a tatami mat will help with airflow and reduce the risk of mold and help to lower dust mites. :) I’m happy to be newly subscribed.

    Hi Nicholas, if I may suggest an idea, you can hang your mirror inside the closet if the space permits. That way it can still serve its purpose without being an additional item in your bedroom. If this doesn't workout, then you get to try something else.

    Having less 'stuff' certainly helps improve air flow and energy flow. Having less things to clean and think about also makes life much simpler. But in truth, it is only our attachment to stuff that causes us anxiety and worry. You could live in the most extravagantly furnished palace, full of priceless art and antiquities, and be completely at peace - by not caring at all if any or all or it was destroyed or stolen. You can enjoy beauty without needing to possess it

  • @mikew8573

    Wow I luv it! Although I use a couple of dressers in my bedroom anything in each drawer is used. Bedroom is huge so not having the dressers wouldn't work for me. But having less tables, dressers etc. one wouldn't feel the need to have table top items (dust collectors). The most I have on my home office desk and side table is family pictures. I continue to be more inspired with your videos that I'm on the right track and I'm not alone in living as a minimalist life.

    I also tried going to route of a shikibuton (Japanese bed). While I really liked the idea and it worked well for me, I found out eventually it is quite difficult in humid climates. I'm in Seattle. It's imperative to have tatami mat underneath, and it requires constant flipping and drying. Hanging in the sun is essential, and if you don't have a space to do that, don't bother with a shikibuton. I ended up having to throw mine out because it molded.
