The minimalist movement is becoming more and more popular, and for good reason. Some people want to challenge the unsustainable culture of excess and consumerism; many like the idea of a calmer, less cluttered home; and for others it makes sense from a money perspective. But does going back to basics have to be so extreme? Interior designer Hans Blomquist thinks otherwise!

For Hans, minimalism doesn’t have to be about getting rid of everything unessential. Rather, it can be more a state of mind: being more selective and mindful of the things you have, and how you organise them.
