THE ENEMY OF MINIMALISM?

October 23, 2021October 23, 2021 minimumman

Things. The enemy of minimalism. Possessions which, we are told, hold us captive, keep us prisoner. The items which surround us in our home, even if we love them, we believe we should set ourselves free from them. Sometimes, looking … Continue reading THE ENEMY OF MINIMALISM?

THE END OF MINIMALISM?

September 25, 2021September 25, 2021 minimumman

The objects slowly creep in, interiors change and transform, mindsets change in fragments, trends die out. Once monochrome interiors become full of things, the cutlery drawer increases in mass, the wardrobe spills over. Minimalism may, for many, fall away in … Continue reading THE END OF MINIMALISM?

MINIMALISM: SELLING ALL YOUR THINGS?

June 26, 2021June 25, 2021 minimumman

Dollar signs, pound signs, postage costs, shining images of items which sit in virtual bidding wars. These online retail outlets, manned by thousands of sellers, may as well have seedy neon signs leading to basements. Always a scam close by, … Continue reading MINIMALISM: SELLING ALL YOUR THINGS?

MINIMALIST THOUGHT EXERCISES

June 12, 2021June 12, 2021 minimumman

A backpack, how do you fill it? It’s all you can take- so what do you choose? When it comes down to it, what’s important to you? What’s essential to you? The world is ending, what are you taking with … Continue reading MINIMALIST THOUGHT EXERCISES

SECRET HOARDING

June 5, 2021June 4, 2021 minimumman

Out of sight, out of mind. The space looks neat and clean, swathes of polished furnishings, simple and minimal designs. In the garage sit boxes- organised, we tell ourselves, exactly where they need to be. Each set of things compacted … Continue reading SECRET HOARDING

OVERTHINKING & MINIMAL THINKING

April 24, 2021April 12, 2021 minimumman

Thought is a uniquely human process. Our capacity for linear and lateral thinking process, logical movement between topics, and engagement with multiple thoughts at any one time, seems to separate us from other animals. We are capable of processing complex … Continue reading OVERTHINKING & MINIMAL THINKING

MINIMISING BOOKS

April 19, 2021April 8, 2021 minimumman

Boxes of books, their pages crumpled and yellowing. That old paperback smell, damp and dry, like sawdust. The roar of early minimalism encourages freedom from everything, so they get shipped out, via car or collection, taken away to be sold … Continue reading MINIMISING BOOKS

SUSTAINABILITY GONE WRONG?

March 22, 2021March 10, 2021 minimumman

Bamboo toothbrushes in ceramic pots, the sun coming in through the window and onto the plants. Clothing in earth tones with natural fibres, simplistic wardrobes. No sideboard full of products, only the essentials for a simple life. Zero-waste, plastic-free, reduce, … Continue reading SUSTAINABILITY GONE WRONG?

PERSUASIVE MINIMALISM

March 20, 2021March 10, 2021 minimumman

Minimalism has an allure about it. Those sweeping expanses of space within a home, the strange comfort of organisation, the ambitious nature of decluttering- the prospect of becoming something new. A new type of person, self-aware, conscious of making sustainable … Continue reading PERSUASIVE MINIMALISM
