Before
Finished my living room!
I did not really like my living room in my old place. So before I moved,I set a goal for my new place to have a minimalistic living room. I noticed while reaching this goal that house decorating can be expensive so I tried to stick to affordable places. I went in with a plan and stuck to it to decorate my living rooms :)
Steps I took to keep it minimalistic
-start planning early
-pick a color scheme
-use Pinterest for decor ideas
-gather items in cart (online) *don’t buy just yet*
-visit different stores like Home goods,Ross,Marshalls to scope out items
-take notes,pictures of items in stores
-sit down and gather pictures, notes on everything you found to match color scheme, etc
-then purchase items
-Decorate! :)

Creating a minimalist living room can be an exhilarating journey, especially for those looking to refresh their space on a budget. Start by understanding the essence of minimalism, which emphasizes simplicity and functionality. Choosing a neutral color scheme can help create a soothing atmosphere while allowing for subtle pops of color through decor accents. Using platforms like Pinterest can significantly expand your decoration ideas, showcasing imaginative layouts and styles that align with minimalist aesthetics. Focus on key statement pieces that complement your color scheme, but remember to avoid overcrowding the space. When shopping, explore various discount stores such as HomeGoods, Ross, and Marshalls to find unique decor items that fit your vision. These stores often have seasonal sales that can make your shopping experience even more affordable. Consider making a list or taking photos of potential items before making any purchases to ensure they align with your design goals. Finally, don't forget the importance of greenery. Incorporating plants can add life and warmth to a minimalist room while maintaining the clean look. With thoughtful planning and creativity, you can enjoy a beautiful, functional living space that reflects your unique style without overspending.
