Straight, clean lines and hidden storage, the modern day minimalist forgets about the frills of furniture. They have no room for clutter, it’s just all about methodical engineered, art and design. Traditionally in neutral colors, a modern day minimalist will choose black and white, stone, pastels and metallic shades over vibrancy. Simplistic in design, minimalism is carefully planned with the use of natural light and materials for texture and personality.

To achieve clean worktops and spacious settings, hide away any fussy clutter in storage units. Here are some great ways you can straighten up a room for the modern day minimalist.

For your clothing

Pile clothes in under-bed storage from the Divan Beds Centre. You’ll be able to get a bed in a size that’ll not overpower a room and leave you enough space for a small reading corner, or to add a geometric shelf. Hiding clothes or shoes away in under-bed storage will utilize the space while making the room feel clean and fresh.

For your makeup or skincare

Making room for makeup and skincare can be a lengthy task. This is due to the different brands having different shaped bottles; it’s a geometric nightmare. If you can’t store your beauty products out of sight in a box or cupboard, then embrace the individuality and choose a display that’s clear. You can buy clear craft units, that are traditionally used for stationary. Or, if you’re plastic free, glass cookie jars are great to store your beauty products and brushes neatly away.

For your plants

Combine display shelves with wall art. Hang a bracketless shelf on a wall using rope.

The clean lines of the triangle it’ll create will please your love for minimalistic design, while it’s a great spot to display a plant in pride position. You can buy these swing shelves, or try to make one yourself to get the structure you want.

For your cooking equipment

Minimalist designs tend to put functionality first. This is the same when it comes to kitchen

decor. Display your pots, knives and cooking utensils on hooks, shelves, and stack your pans to the side of a unit. Holding both a function for cooking and a display item, they’ll be in easy reach for when you need them, but will still need to be returned to its rightful place, or the order of the design will be off-balance.

For your bicycles

If you prefer a greener mode of transport and regularly use your bicycle, you’ll need to give

it a proper place in your home. For a slightly quirkier idea and one that’s often used across Europe, fasten two brackets or wide hooks onto your wall. You’ll be able to hook your bicycle safely to the wall, giving you more space in your entry hall to move around in. Do make sure you leave plenty of height so you don’t bump your head on a wheel.

There you have it, just some of the ways you can reduce your unwanted belongings and clean away the clutter to transform your room into a minimalistic haven.
