Is it simply living with fewer than 100 things, buying less, throwing out old clothes and stuff, or a design style you tell your interior decorator to follow? Minimalism is actually a way of life you can\u2019t simply ignore.

Here&#8217;s what you need to know about it.<\/p>\n<h3>What is minimalism?<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_272904\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-272904\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-272904 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/minimalism-singapore-dan-gold-unsplash-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Minimalist Singapore | Dan Gold via Unsplash\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/minimalism-singapore-dan-gold-unsplash-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/minimalism-singapore-dan-gold-unsplash-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/minimalism-singapore-dan-gold-unsplash.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-272904\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Dan Gold via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While getting rid of stuff is a good first step (and the most visible one), minimalism is about the benefits we experience once we&#8217;re on the other side of decluttering. For some, it&#8217;s a tool to achieve freedom from fear, <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/mental-health-tips-depression-promises-healthcare\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">depression<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/best-anxiety-podcasts-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">anxiety<\/a>, and even consumerism.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t mean having material possessions is a bad thing. The problem stems from the emotional baggage we assign to our physical stuff, making it hard to let go of them. This is where minimalism comes in: it allows you to make more conscious (and better) decisions. That takes skills!<\/p>\n<h3>The minimalist movement in Singapore<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_272905\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-272905\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-272905 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/minimalism-singapore-content-pixie-unsplash-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Minimalism | Content Pixie via Unsplash\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/minimalism-singapore-content-pixie-unsplash-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/minimalism-singapore-content-pixie-unsplash-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/minimalism-singapore-content-pixie-unsplash.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-272905\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Content Pixie via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s no surprise that minimalism has started to pick up in Singapore, and you have the culture of consumerism and competitiveness to thank for that. With the KonMari trend still making its rounds (despite Marie not actively practising it anymore), minimalism is something anyone can pick up as easily as buying milk and eggs from the <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/local-international-supermarkets-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">supermarket<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The small and growing community thrives on the online Facebook group, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/minimalisminsingapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Minimalism in Singapore<\/a>, where members share tips and stories about their journeys, as well as hold regular meetups. You\u2019ll find posts on repurposing items, PSAs on recycling <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/singapore-recycling-guide-sustainable-living\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">e-waste<\/a>, \u2018before and after\u2019 photos of rooms and desks, and motivational quotes.<\/p>\n<p>There are other sources you can look into if you want to find out more. One example is <a href=\"https:\/\/minimalistinthecity.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Minimalist in the City<\/a>, a blog run by Dave and Kate. It chronicles their journey towards minimalism and financial independence. There&#8217;s also Kris Tan of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/decluttersg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">The Declutter Professionals<\/a>, who lends his expertise to families looking to reorganise their homes.<\/p>\n<h3>Misconceptions of minimalism<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_272906\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-272906\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-272906 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/minimalism-singapore-andrew-neel-pexels-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Minimalist Singapore | Andrew Neel via Pexels\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/minimalism-singapore-andrew-neel-pexels-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/minimalism-singapore-andrew-neel-pexels-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/minimalism-singapore-andrew-neel-pexels.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-272906\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Andrew Neel via Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>No, people who practice minimalism aren&#8217;t all monks or part of a weird cult. Real fact: it isn\u2019t really about frugality or being stingy or anti-consumerism. Sure, it saves you money in the long run, but minimalism shouldn&#8217;t deprive you of things. It&#8217;s more about making better choices in what you buy. Things like investing a little more for a good quality sofa that&#8217;ll last you years rather than a cheaply-made one that you probably have to scrap in a year or less. Or buying shoes that are versatile and hardy instead of going shopping spree crazy during the sales period for something you\u2019ll only use once and never touch again.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the minimalist style is still a much-coveted trend when it comes to fashion and decor. Heck, people in Singapore are doing \u2018Muji\u2019 home renovations just so their HDB flats can look as zen as the Japanese lifestyle store. But it&#8217;s not &#8220;all about the aesthetics&#8221;.\u00a0In truth? Minimalists are ordinary people who give up accumulating possessions so they can focus on more meaningful things.<\/p>\n<h3>Get in on minimalism in Singapore<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_272903\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-272903\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-272903 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/minimalism-singapore-vanessa-rauer-unsplash-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Minimalism | Vanessa Rauer via Unsplash\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/minimalism-singapore-vanessa-rauer-unsplash-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/minimalism-singapore-vanessa-rauer-unsplash-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/minimalism-singapore-vanessa-rauer-unsplash.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-272903\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Vanessa Rauer via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You best believe it\u2019s actually pretty easy to get started. First, identify an area you need help with \u2013 and if you have more than one, that\u2019s okay too. Decluttering is a long journey, and sentimental items are always a tough roadblock. While everyone has their own way of getting on the bandwagon, here&#8217;s a Singaporean version of the 30-day game:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Sort your items into categories of \u201cDiscard\u201d, \u201cDonate\u201d, \u201cMaybe\u201d, and \u201cKeep\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>List your \u201cDonate\u201d and \u201cMaybe\u201d piles on Carousell or Facebook groups.<\/li>\n<li>Discuss various methods for getting the best bang for your buck.<\/li>\n<li>Place all these items in a few boxes which are labelled and easily accessible.<\/li>\n<li>After 30 days, re-evaluate if you really need them.<\/li>\n<li>On day 31, ruthlessly donate everything. Out of sight, out of mind.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>After that, you can build a <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/fashion-basics-capsule-wardrobe-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">capsule wardrobe<\/a> so you won&#8217;t waste too much time deciding what to wear.<\/p>\n<p>The movement can extend beyond the house and into other areas of your life, too. You can apply minimalism to finance (cutting down on subscription services, for example) and, of course, your digital space. Unsubscribe from mailing lists that no longer serve your needs. Uninstall programmes and apps on devices you no longer use.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_272907\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-272907\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-272907 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/minimalism-singapore-karsten-madsen-pexels-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Minimalism in Singapore | Karsten Madsen via Pexels\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/minimalism-singapore-karsten-madsen-pexels-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/minimalism-singapore-karsten-madsen-pexels-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/minimalism-singapore-karsten-madsen-pexels.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-272907\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Karsten Madsen via Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>So, what&#8217;s the end goal?<\/h3>\n<p>Is minimalism a continuous journey, or is there something bigger we need to achieve?
