We often hear about the Japanese minimalist lifestyle, so what makes this lifestyle famous? Is this lifestyle suitable for us? Let’s learn about the Japanese people’s minimalist lifestyle for better living.

The phrase “Japanese minimalist lifestyle” or Danshari or Minimalism refers to a way of living that limits the use of surrounding items to a minimum . From there, there will be very little furniture around, so our concerns will be cleaning and arranging. When those concerns are eliminated, we will have more time to lead a life that is more concerned with our own happiness .

When each human being is born, we have nothing in our hands . This is what makes people live minimalist lives. However, over time, the number of items around you continues to increase, and sometimes even exceeds the necessary level.

How many times have you bought new items and never used them? You already have a shirt and you want another shirt of the same style, just in a different color. You have a beautiful yellow bed but you want it to have new colors and change it every week, so you have to find a way to change the color of that bed.

Your life only has 24 hours a day, how much time do you spend working, going out, entertaining, and more than cleaning up unnecessary items? When moving house, you will find that too many and bulky items make you tired, arranging and transporting them also costs a lot. This wastes your time, your finances and your energy. You feel pressured and life is no longer fully enjoyed.

So what do we need to do to have a minimalist life like the Japanese? If you don’t know how to rearrange your life, here are some suggestions for you.

The Kitchen

The kitchen is usually where we have the most stuff, so try rearranging these tools neatly . Prepare each type using only 1 piece or at least have a slicer that integrates many features in 1. This will greatly reduce your costs and time when cooking.

The living room and bedroom

The living room and bedroom are two places that help you enjoy life after a hard day’s work. The bedroom does not need a bed, you can use a small mattress to help make your sleep easier . After sleeping at night, we can fold pillows and mattresses into the wardrobe to keep the room airy and tidy. For the living room, switch to small, low tables to take advantage of the floor as seating , so you won’t need to buy additional chairs.

The neatness of the house will help relatives have more space to have fun and enjoy life together.

We only live once, take time to enjoy and love this life.
