The key to keeping your space minimalistic and tidy is to decorate with items that provide a purpose. Books, trays, baskets, photos, mirrors, candles, vases, decorative bowls, accent pillows, and throws all serve as functional home decor.
Choose decorative pieces that have meaning to you—perch a collection of your favorite books on a shelf, have a cherished photo printed to create a piece of art, use a vintage bowl or tray to catch keys and sunglasses in the entryway. All of these items will make your space feel homey. Because they are a reflection of YOU, they are guaranteed to make you feel comfortable and happy in your minimalist space.
