How to Adopt a Minimalist Lifestyle as a Renter
Imagine this: You come home to your small apartment after a long day and are welcomed into a tidy, simplistic space. The design is streamlined, minimal, and neutral—helping you fully relax. If this scenario sounds appealing, adopting a minimalist lifestyle might be a perfect change of pace. Minimalist lifestyles have been fully embraced by trends over the past few years, helping renters and homeowners alike partake in the practice of living simplistically. By introducing minimalism to your routines, you can start to play around with how the practice can best be applied to your way of life.
To help you along in your minimalist journey, we’re sharing some of our favorite ways to gradually adopt this lifestyle:
- Start by tackling visual clutter. It’s easy for newbie minimalists to get caught up in the clutter as they start to downsize their belongings. Starting with those visual piles of clutter—countertop messes, crowded bookshelves, etc.—is a great way to keep track of your progress and begin to reap the benefits.
- Sort through clothes and closets. Downsizing your closet is another great stepping stone for those sampling minimalist living. It’s a task that most people are familiar with and will get you used to the process of parting with things you no longer use.
- Clean one room at a time. The room-by-room cleanse will help structure your minimalist journey without overwhelming your schedule.
We hope these tips bring you some peace and help you embrace a more minimalist lifestyle in your apartment! Check out our blog for more apartment tips and tricks. The Quarters Apartments is a complex located in Lady Lake, FL.
