Speaking of minimalism, there is an owner @asan who lives well. Her home can be said to be "empty" in name. She also shared some stories about her and her family at the Carnival of 20 18.
The following content comes from APP user @asan.
At the beginning, I put my home on the APP, but I was actually ready to be diss, because my whole house case was written in 20 16, and this concept may not be common in China at that time. But most of my roommates gave me approval. I think it's amazing to live well. Why are the people here so nice? They can understand these things and are friendly.
It all started when I just moved home and my friends came to our house to play. She stood motionless in the hall after entering the door. I let her in. She asked me if I could record your home. I want to send it to my mother.
She said that she and her mother were chasing a Japanese drama. My home is especially like the heroine's home in the play. It is "my home is empty". I hadn't seen it at that time, but I was distracted by what she said because I especially appreciated that friend, so I watched the play that night.

Stills of My Home is Empty
I was very excited after reading it, so I sorted out ten bags that night and threw them into the hall. I feel very relaxed. Those things have been given a lot of meaning by me. I remember where I bought it, who I was with and when I wore it. These memories have become a part of my life, as well as the object itself. I think it's okay to throw them away.
This change occurred on 20 16. During the period of 2065 438+02-2065 438+04, material desires were particularly inflated, and people liked to buy things and pursue luxury goods. Some people may have the same experience, that is, the mentality of "others have it, then I have to have it". I didn't want to throw away a lot of things when I moved, but I got rid of evil spirits after watching the play and lost a lot of things in my new home. After I throw it away, I have to clean up the rest to make room, and the rest will be more stretched and organized.
At first, I simplified the color. The first step is the wardrobe at home. I only left black and white clothes, as well as camel and khaki, which are low saturation colors and very gorgeous colors. Many girls have a lot of clothes. We often like to define ourselves by clothes. The style is changeable. Today is different from tomorrow, but I think you should find yourself first.
What do we really want? Once you figure this out, life will be really smooth sailing. We are easily confused, because the outside world is impetuous. Today, I got together with my friends, and my friends said that Amway was useful. It is normal for many young people that something recommended by a blogger on the Internet has been accepted by Amway again.
When you don't know what you want, know what you don't want first. In terms of time, maybe this thing has passed three quarters, and you haven't used it in the fourth quarter, so you can basically throw it away, dispose of it as idle, or give it to your friends.
This is my wardrobe, which was dominated by white clothes at that time. The bookshelves are all empty, and behind them are the books I often read. The white box looks neat. You can put a label next to it. I think white really makes people feel comfortable visually.
An empty home has magic power, which will refresh you and put aside many other thoughts. We live in a world where countless information is thrown at us all the time. I am a homesick person. Although I don't go out much, no one can leave my mobile phone. This is a world of flowers and flowers. But the environment created by this home, even if I brush my mobile phone, I can be calm and clearly know what I need and what I don't need.
Having a good life has made me know a lot of close friends, instead of friends who just like you and say "I like you very much" and "I want to cheer today". They came to my home, unloaded the precautions here, unloaded the burden of online celebrities, stopped playing mobile phones, just collapsed there and relaxed.
We have cats and dogs at home. When friends come to my house, we will cook together, visit the market together, prepare a dinner together, watch movies or listen to songs and chat at night, and they will even forget the outside world. Some people may only stay in my house for one day and one night, but they are reluctant to leave and feel that it is really good here.
Why is there such an environment that people can relax so much? They will think that there is no material desire here, because there is nothing in my family. That's what I just said. Home makes people quiet. Let all your thoughts spread at home and all your hobbies be displayed at home, and this home will have your aura and your temperature.
We may be tired every day, so we just want to go home, lie down as soon as we take off our clothes, play with our mobile phones, and so on. But a beautiful home will make people urge themselves, and you will think that I am the hostess and can't be too careless. I have formed the habit of reading books and listening to songs in this family, which can eliminate people's fatigue for a day and make people return to blood.
My family has been said some very sour words by many people or the media. They will say something about a frigid family, or there will be no fireworks. I really don't care about this. He is not me, nor the owner of the house, nor the person who stays in this house every day. I didn't build this home for imitation or show, let alone for a certain concept. I just want to make myself more aware of who I am, who I love and what state I want to present here. This family makes me very calm and calm.
In fact, I am a particularly emotional person. I used to be irritable and emotionally volatile, and people around me would feel that kind of gas field. But this home makes me feel calm, it allows me to calm down and think, and my friends even feel relaxed with me. These are all cultivated in this home.
What is home? That is, we can relax in this space without being so excellent. We young people are too boastful. We brag in front of our parents, bosses and colleagues. The first thing to do when you go home is to unload these things. My family can let you change your keys once a second. In a very empty environment, it will make it easier for you to find yourself, project your heart into this home, and it will give you a feedback soon.
Our house is also full of fireworks. Two people can cook at home, eat seasonal dishes and drink light soup. These are the habits I have developed in this family. In this room with a mirror, I will dance in it, choose some music I like and light aromatherapy. I felt right as soon as I entered.
I am really glad that I can have such a space where I can think at any time. I wonder why young people grow grass so easily nowadays. Why does it seem that everyone's biggest expectation every day is to open the courier, but the pleasure is very short, and it will be gone as soon as it is opened.
I suggest you spend reasonably. My current consumption habit is to save a little money, save two or three thousand to support a designer's work, or search for something that really suits me. Instead of not buying at all, it is better to buy something that can accompany you for a long time, so that our materials will be less and refined, and the rest will be excellent and textured.
Regarding this parting, I think we should treat it rationally and don't throw it blindly for the sake of throwing it. Because our life still needs a lot of things to support, if you often use something and find it lost, it is actually unreasonable. If we want to break up, I suggest ten days or a weekend. You may stick to this habit for two months.
Many things are repetitive, leaving the most convenient. Don't emphasize the number of things lost. You can buy one and lose one or two, so as to keep a balance, satisfy your material desires and adapt to your inner needs. In the long run, you won't find it painful and difficult to give up this thing.
In this family, I learned to give up first After giving up, I learned to organize again because of the new space. Even let me know what kind of friends and partners I want. These are all the gains I have left in this space after my independent thinking, and I think it will be of long-term help to my future life.
Learn to observe your heart, often talk to yourself, and know what you want. This is the most important thing.
Ask and answer. A
Q: I also want to remain separated, but I find it difficult. Because there are more and more things I like, I may like them both before and newly bought, and I really need them. What do you suggest?
A: I have experienced this kind of worry. You can send some items to your favorite friends. I gave up a 9999 sofa at that time, but it didn't take long, because I thought the color of the sofa was a little dark and it didn't match my home, so I gave it to my friends. I remember that the moving company came to the door and moved away quickly. When I stayed there, it was like losing a piece of meat. Of course, I will be a little sad, but when I go to my friend's house in the future, I will find that the sofa is really more suitable for his home and I will have a greater sense of joy.
Q: Sang, I have been your fan for a long time. Seeing your parting and sharing in a beautiful life, our family has become much better now. Thank you very much today.
A: I remember someone caring about me. She made her home almost identical to mine. We are in the same city and we will go for a walk together. She asked me a question and said, Sam, do you mind if I do everything like you? I was not cultivated enough. I said I mind. Why should I buy the same table, chair and blanket as me? I don't mind, but I pretend to be very atmospheric.
But then I realized that the home can be the same, the house decoration can be the same, but you are you, I am me, and our magnetic fields are different. Once I went to her house, I felt completely different. She also knows how to think and what she wants, not just to imitate. Therefore, it is not that what you like about a person is the best, but what suits you is even better.
Q: I want to ask a more basic question. It may be difficult to live alone in a house, mostly with a partner. I want to ask about parting. What if what he likes is ugly and I can't throw it away? Live with your parents. I believe there are many such situations. What should we do with them?
A: This question is very valuable to me. This is a very realistic problem. Maybe it's not difficult for you to break up alone, but it's your little friend and your family that are difficult. At this time, we don't start from giving up, but from accepting. You can put away things that affect your appearance first and respect your family. Communication is skillful. Don't attack it, it will intensify contradictions.
Give him everything. This half a year, he has never used it himself, and he can't remember it. At this time, you should try to throw it away. On the one hand, you do what you want, at least visually, which will make him feel that you respect him and understand him. Slowly let him feel a little change at home, and he may also become a helper from your pig teammate. Take him to change a little, don't worry, because home is a place you don't worry about.
