Home for every person is a place of power: here we exhale, fill up with energy for new achievements, it is here that we can be ourselves. The organization of home space has a huge impact on our psycho-emotional state, so it is important to equip your home in such a way that everything in it pleases, inspires and pacifies.

Sometimes it is enough to throw away the excess, put things in order in storage, “green up” and complement the interior with a few pleasant little things so that the space of the house becomes as “your” as possible, and for this it is not at all necessary to seek the help of professional designers! There are many books on how to properly organize the interior of the house and fill it with life. nine0036

The most beautiful and useful of them are in our selection today.

1. Minimalist house. Room by room, from chaos to meaningful life

Our home is an extension of ourselves. Therefore, often in order to streamline your life, you need to “shake up” the contents of your home: ruthlessly get rid of the superfluous, leaving the really necessary, organize the space so that it breathes easily, performs its functions and is quickly found. nine0036

Joshua Becker, author of the most popular minimalist blog, becomingminimalist.com, strongly recommends stopping the pursuit of happiness and generously shares tips on how to own less and get more.

In the book you will find a lot of recommendations for cleaning and maintaining order, the basic postulates of minimalism that will be useful in any area of ​​life, checklists of real minimalists, as well as examples of people who have come to a happier and more conscious life with the help of minimalism. nine0210
