- In my bedroom tour I promised that I’d share what my closet looks like inside. It’s minimalist. And organized too!
It’s a tiny walk in closet off my bedroom and when I came to view the place, one of the previous owner’s children actually slept in there. Very Harry P.
In this video I’m also sharing what’s in the wardrobe in the entry hall because it’s all connected.
Here’s the link to the video I mention about my storage room in the basement: • Organized storage room...
And here’s the video with the bedroom tour if you missed that one: • Minimalist bedroom tou...

I like the uniform dressing. Every time I deviate from it, I regret it. I pulled all my clothes out of my closet today and sorted the things I wear daily. I sorted handbags, socks, underwear, scarves as well. I put things I hardly wear in bins with lids to store in the garage. I also created a donation pile. It feels so good to see only the clothes I wear regularly and all are in neutral colors: black, gray, indigo blue. And yes I do have a pop of color using my yellow and my red scarf occasionally. I have one dressy outfit: black top, black pants and glittery black jacket with simple black handbag. I use jewelry occasionally to change a look. Black t-shirts are a nice backdrop for jewelry. Thank you, Benita! I love your videos! By the way, I am an American-Finn!
I admire your simplicity.
I enjoy the fact of keeping ones life predictable and simple.
Thank you, I'm with you obviously 😊
I viewed this vlog when it first appeared but wasn't ready to apply your concepts to my wardrobe. As an older woman, I was having difficulty dealing with the idea of a minimal wardrobe. I had a breakthrough recently when I realized that there are only certain garments that are in my weekly rotation anyway. In addition, I'm a hospital worker and wear scrubs also, I walk to work so what I put on to and from the facility rarely changes during the week. You've given me as well as many others the tool's and concepts in action, to feel comfortable with the idea of paring down. For me, 2022 is the year I want to become minimal. Thank you Benita
Oh I’m a uniform dresser too! I didn’t know there was a name for it. It’s so much easier 😊 Grey, black, white, stripes and a pop of colour, at the moment it’s yellow
Love the subtle humor. Tack!
😊
Tact
In the past I've neatly stitched very tiny Roman Numerals (or Runes) in Red thread on the outer sleeve of sets of identical items. They are easy to stitch because of the straight lines, and easy to tell one item from another if anyone cares to look.
That sounds so unique I have often thought about putting a heart ❤️ appliqué on my Ts
Great idea!
I actually think that's all very intelligent. I too purchase multiples of things that work in differing colors. I will have an occasional different colored shirt but really I think I do that so people won't think I'm weird or wearing the same clothes. I don't think it's weird or silly, I think it's smart. Really I primarily like gray, white, black, & navy. I think those colors are classic looking and can be used to dress up or down depending on what they are paired with. Matching clothing is so much easier. Getting ready is so much quicker. Those colors flatter me better and look good for my job. I liked your video. Thank you for sharing it.
Best minimalist closet video I've seen here on RUclips. Simple, clear and very straightforward. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
I admire you and your choices so much. So simple and tidy.
Aww, you're so sweet! Thank you!
We have about the same amount of clothing. I never knew I was a minimalist! I also wear a uniform :) I'm pleasantly surprised.
When you're intentional about what you have you can be a minimalist without even knowing it :)
I was expecting al lot less clothes… I think this is a normal amount of clothes (and I am not a minimalist… yet 😁)
Uniform: check! 😁
"I like to keep all hangers the same because:
a. It looks nice and neat &
b. It looks nice and neat 💯🤣🤣
Yep,basic black,navy and brown,with added colour from sarongs and shawls.
I spent the whole of last summer going through every closet,cupboard and draw. It's wonderful to open them now. I love listening and watching your videos,thank you.
Thank you so much for watching! And great job 🙌🏻
You’re like me, I only wear grey and black sometimes white, buy multiple same things if I love it. My friends thought I was wearing the same things over and over again haha until they saw my wardrobe 😂
😂😂😂 And great minds think alike, right!
i am getting in a "get rid of unnecessary items" phase, and I like your channel because it gives me great ideas. Thank you.
I stumbled across your channel last night, binge-watched all your videos, and for the first time ever, I subscribed. Finally, someone I can truly relate to! I learned I'm also a 'uniform' dresser, which is why I was able purge the majority of my clothes with great ease, rather than the so often seen stress others seem to suffer during the process. Seeing your closet really brought home how simple my tastes are - it could so easily be a snapshot of my own closet, and that I'm not the only who gravitates toward dressing in this 'fashion' - although it wouldn't matter if I was, it's always nice to find someone else who shares your taste/views/ideas. PLEASE keep sharing with us, as I eagerly await new episodes to come, especially the new outdoor abode you're creating for the lovely kitties who own you :) P.S. Loved your wool Shepherd's slippers, so I searched them online & will definitely be ordering a pair this weekend, YAY!
Two peas in a pod! The slippers are so comfy and Mini and Bonus love them too which is why I'm on my third pair. They plonk themselves on top all the time and not always with their cleanest paws :)
I'm so impressed by your excellent, hardly accented (American type) English! I've noticed this with other Scandinavians on RUclips as well!
We all learn English at a young age in school 😊
People in Europe speak very good
English in fact. Many young kids
of say five so do as well. Nothing
here to speak three or more languages.
No shade towards Benita in any way, but i'm Swedish and all i hear is the Swedish accent to be honest
Thank you for your wonderful advice. I use the velvet thin hangers that allowed me to save half of the space I used before.
Benita, I just stumbled on this video. I didn't know you were back! I used to follow your previous blog starting at around the time you moved into the house and until the end. Hard to believe it's been 6 years. Nice to see you again.
I was on Instagram the whole time :)
I love the idea of uniform dressing. I rarely buy new clothes any more, and if I do I tend to gravitate towards simple, classic pieces. That way I can look sophisticated but not worry about changing fashions.
As I get older, I find I'm doing this as well. And 'uniform' dressing. It's just easier!
I, too, buy multiples and I am a repeat purchaser as well. I mostly uniform dress, but recently felt a need to add a little color.
I just discovered and subscribed to your channel and love it. We are kindred spirits; I, too, am a minimalist. I attended parochial school and wore a uniform for the first 12 years of school and I've stuck to that basic principle of classics. I wear lots of black and white in the winter; pops of color in spring and summer but the lines are always simple. Thanks so much. Victoria
Gray t-shirts are fantastic. You can wash them with your whites and darks. I once bought 6 at once and I enjoy them so much year after year every season.
I love them too ☺️
I like that you used a mirrored wardrobe in the hall. It makes the space look larger and more open.
I'm not a fan of mirrors on doors actually. Theses were already there when I moved in and they do allow for some more light in what is the darkest area of my apartment which is nice!
Thanks Benita for another great video. I love that you have space for your son to keep a few things. 💚
I love when he comes over so it's been a priority to have him feel at home ven though it's a smal place :)
My wardrobe is mainly blacks, grays, and some white with the occasional army/sage green and deep red. Not only does it make washing easier (little need to separate colored clothing) but everything matches. Lol
I am a sweater hoarder though. Gotta work on that.
SnakeLady Yes, another benefit - laundry!🙌🏻
SnakeLady Why do you need to work on that? If you love the sweaters and wear them you should keep them. Don’t let an ideal of minimalism make you feel guilty.
ladyflimflam Because I only wear 2 or 3 on a regular basis out of the many others that I have. Yet when I see a new one I like, I buy it and then it sits in the closet.
I work in a cold factory so I don’t wear a lot of “nice” clothes. I’m more of a “function over fashion” kind of person anyway. I just need to pick a few I really love and actually use, and donate the rest.
I live in the USA, but my ancestral family is from Lapland (Sapmi), Scandinavia, and Germany. You and I have the same taste in clothing and colors! I think the neutrals look best with Scandinavian coloring and I too have lots of gray, black, and navy T shirts and sweaters that I wear with pants that are black, gray, and blue jeans. Thanks for your inspiring posts!
Then you might enjoy my next video 😉
So happy I've stumbled upon your channel. I used to read your blogs and when you quit blogging I didn't have instagram account and somehow 'lost you'. It's like I've found a long lost friend again. 😍
So happy to find you here!
Am also kind of a duplicate
shopper. Pleased to hear
others do it as well.
Great minds think alike! 😀
Hi Benita, I really enjoyed this video too. I'm also a bit of a uniform dresser, except I tend to vary the colours. For example, in winter I wear cords and I have pairs in navy, red, burgundy, green, etc. Then I have jumpers and cardigans in colours to go with. In the summer it's linen shirts, cotton tops and khakis, chinos and jeans - again in different colours. One thing I'm trying to do is to buy better quality items that, hopefully, will last longer.
Love the sound of your uniform! I also try to buy fewer things of better quality and spend a little bit more!
Wow. I've never seen anyone this organized and color coordinated.
Makes dressing easy 😊
Hi, I’m new here and I’ve been watching before I subscribed. I like your videos because I’m working towards this type of living and your videos calm my mind.
I slept in my walk in cupboard for years- now kids have moved out I have a bedroom, with a window. Quite liked the cupboard, lovely and dark.
I really like the idea of having a uniform but I do most of my shopping second hand so I can afford more quality pieces that way and it is hard to find multiples of the same thing at thrift stores.
Rebekah Gonzalez I totally get that! And what a great way to shop! I wish I had the patience to do that but I never seem to find my size in things I like.
Wow Benita you are such an inspiration!! I love how pared down your wardrobe is
Having less makes everything so much easier!
SO MANY good ideas here! I do many of the same things you do--uniform especially--but I'm always ready to learn more about storage
phronsiekeys Thank you! I do love me a good storage solution 😊
I admire how you organize your stuff. Thanks for inspiring us.!!
Thanks for watching!
Black and gray are the foundation of my wardrobe and make up about 60-75% of my clothing. I still wear bright colors but mostly solids and also I limit which colors I buy so it is easy to match everything together. I started doing this in the last year and I'm thankful I did it, because I no longer spend hardly any time deciding what to wear to work. I just check the weather for the day and choosing my outfit becomes simple.
moldypotatochip Great minds think alike!🙌🏻
I like your choice of greys, very classy and understated, nice !
I so love Ikea for storage. I love the idea with the tray in the closet - Im definitely going to do that one the next move into a house. Very nice as always !
They do have great affordable storage! And thank you!
Gorgeous closet. I enjoyed seeing the way you wear your clothes too. 👍🏻
Thank you!😊
My closet looks similar! Grey, black, white, beige.....it is how I am most comfortable. This year I did buy a couple pink sweaters. One light and one dark. Otherwise....I prefer to be basic.
I wear black with gray and beige mixed in but mostly just all black, I find it's easier to accessorize with other colors if need be. I find it's super easy to dress without any fuss when I have a uniform. I'm not trying to impress anyone and thus don't care if people see me in the same clothes everyday.
Capsule Wardrobe Goals! ⭐
I’m the same. I wear black jeans or blue jeans occasionally, with black t shirts and dark sweaters or jackets. I love to wear what feels best for me, and am simple in my style. When I’ve bought different things, I always regret it. Tight jeans compliment my small frame and best legs, and the looser tops hide my tummy after 5 kids. Simple and nice. You have a similar style. I’m looking forward to exploring your channel xxx
When we move I would like a separate dresser from my husband, this way I don’t hav esto force him to keep it organized and I don’t have to put up with a messy space. This is very inspirational!
Smart thinking!
Really enjoy "uniform dressing." I wear the same handful of item but want to add a few more updated pieces to my wardrobe. I absolutely have to purchase multiples. I also have a "foot issue" and when I find a pair of shoes I like - buying more than 1 pr. MUST be a part of my plan!!
Troublesome feet are not fun! So many pretty shoes out there but so few I can actually wear.
I'm obsessed. Is there any chance of putting the total items of clothing (3 tees, 4 sweaters, 2 coats etc) in the video description?
You always make me think about getting rid of everything i own
I say keep the things you love and need and let the rest move on!
and therefore to make more garbage?
Not if you donate...
@@AM-py3yo So having it lie around in your place rotting away is preferable?
Donate it, sell it, pass it on, recycle it.
@@lelexoxo303 Unfortunately getting rid of extra things is job that demands a plenty of time and a lot of efforts.
👍 I l❤ve your clarity about your likes and dislikes, Benita. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
Thanks for sharing this video.
I'd like to suggest a video during your morning walk. Do you have breakfast before you go? Do you usually go alone? Is there other people walking or jogging as well? Do they walk with their dogs? It would be nice to see your city from your own view. I started to feel motivated by you to walk every morning.
Greetings from Brazil.
I have a playlist with my DITL videos and I think some of your questions will be answered in them! ruclips.net/p/PLTzANRJGMhNwCgMcHvXhQ0kJnuGnct6xo
You are a girl after my own heart! Grey, black and navy, my standard. And when I find what I like, I buy bulk.
I’m a uniform wearer as well, but I’m not sure anyone else would realize that. I stick to two basic silhouettes in my daily wear and buy multiples of things I like, but I buy them in colors and prints. So, I have one shirt in half a dozen prints, not one shirt in half a dozen identical pieces.
Love it!
ladyflimflam ...excellent idea! Sounds much better than a grey and black uniform
ArtJourneyUK I don’t have a problem with the concept of a black and grey wardrobe. It can be both practical and chic. They just aren’t my colors.
ladyflimflam ...too school uniform like for me! I wore black skirt/trousers and grey sweater for 5 years of school!
Me too. I still can't wear navy blue and white due to Catholic School damage! haha @@ArtJourneyUK
I would love it if you could suggest some brands of clothing. Figuring out what to wear every day stresses me out and everything you say makes total sense to me. I feel like less of a freak for buying the same thing in multiples (linen shirts!) and in different colors! :)
My favorite shops are Arket and COS, both H&M owned. The prices are in the mid range I'd say but I've gotten so much use out of the pieces that I have from there that it's been worth it! I also love Marimekko although I only get their plain styles, they patterned stuff tends to wear me and not the other way around 😀
OMG. I love Elfa. Now I’m in the UK, I miss the container store in US soooo much!
I could watch your videos all day x
Aww, you're too sweet!😊
A like the part with hangers and A and B :D I really like when people joke but with some seriousness :P
The matching coat hangers really do give the closet a more organized appearance.
They make such a huge difference!
I don’t like the look of Elfa storage either but it does allow for air flow. I buy more than one colour of items I like too. Love your videos. Hi from NSW Australia🇦🇺
Love the white boxes also.
The fabric boxes are from IKEA!
Those gray mittens in your hall closet look so warm and cozy. Have you ever done a winter accessories video? I feel like i struggle to find gloves/mittens/hats that keep me warm enough and am always buying new ones
I haven’t but I’m adding it to my list of video ideas! Thank you!
@@BenitaLarssoni look forward to it! I hate to even think about winter right now but i just finally put away all of our coats for the summer and it was a mess- we have wayyy too many coats & winter accessories!
Thank you 😊 very calming video
Awesome! I'm also a minimalist, uniform dresser, and a cat lover. Really like your channel!
I’m so happy to hear that!
Aww, kitty jumps down [THUD] LOL. So cute!
🙌🏻🦁🙌🏻
Haha! A. It looks nice and neat, and B. It looks nice and neat! XD Grey really suits you, somehow the clothes and wardrobe still look stylish and personal even with the same colour scheme.
Thanks, that grey has been a favorite since I can remember. I just love it!
Mmmm this aesthetic sparks joy 👌
Thank you!
Awesome video Benita.....just love it!
I love this! please share a more in depth video of your wardrobe pieces and favorite brands! Also what brand are those chunky black sneakers?
Thank you! Ill make a note of your request. The chunky sneakers are by Marimekko!
I found myself smiling while watching. I don't uniform dress, but i share many of your perspectives.
Yay! 🙌🏻
I too have the same wooden hangars. Nice and neat.
Right?! Makes all the difference!
As long as that makes you happy. Just as I need some color to make me happy.
To each their own!🙌🏻
I like your wardrobe. I usually wear black pants and a gray, maroon, or navy blue top. I wear a little bit more color in the spring/summer.
In the summer I go rogue with white :)
I think you are my favorite minimalist dresser!
Aww, thank you!
I'm happy I can learn more about minimalism like this. And that it is not all about having X amount of clothing. Thank you for sharing!
Just Subscribed!!!
Amazing channel.
Thank you so much for subscribing!
I had to laugh about the hangers - keeping them all the same. I do this, I thought I was alone :)
I don't have a closet in my small french apartment so I had to hang a pole between two beams and install IKEA Kallux book cases to store folded clothing. It works :) It keeps shopping to a minimum.
Now I want to clean out my closet - I just did it, but feel like I need to do it again.
Haha! I love that feeling, I get it to after watching RUclips :)
Sound like a great solution! And, great minds think alike :)
You are so neat and organized! ! wow!
I just love keeping things tidy 😊
Obsessed with this channel!
Aww! You're so sweet!
gorgeous. and timely as I am at the 'purging clothes and organizing them' stage in unpacking from my move a year ago UGH. I had to do a lot of work finding and setting up storage solutions as there is almost none in this apartment and i am downsizing and purging as i go (because i had no time before i moved). (hows that for a long sentence)
anyway, i am like you in wearing a uniform but i have kept more 'other' clothes and that is what i need to sort thru ... this is emotional for me.. and so its why this is the last area of the move to do... sigh. anyway, i will be inspired by you. i never thought of the smaller stubb bins for clothes. will have to research to see what will fit in my 'closet' its one half of the small bedroom - think walkin closet with small bed in it. i didnt get Pax wardrobes bec of the cost and its a rental - instead i found a great commercial supplier of chrome shelving and garment racks and designed my own racks. that with some dressers and some ikea Josef units is my 'closet'.
I want to ask about your slippers - i have been looking for a good pair to wear in the house and not my outdoor shoes... i imagine they are not available internationally but just in case... can you share the brand? and model? thanks!
I think your closet solution sounds great! As for the slippers the brand is Swedish and called Shepherd. They have an English version of their site and my slippers are the Iris in grey shepherdofsweden.se/en/produkter/iris/
WoW you are so amazingly organised and logical! I admire your self discipline!
Thank you!
I loved all your stuffs.
So nice to find your channel please would you do a separate entire video just about your uniform wardrobe and maybe give details to the brands you buy multiples in....
Thanks again for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
I'm so happy that you found it! I got the same request from someone else too and will make a note of it. Most brands are quite local though so I'm not sure if it will be applicable in other countries. I'll try and figure it out! Meanwhile feel free to ask any specific questions!
I think Eileen Fisher is a brand you would like!
Where do you buy your black leggings? They look really dark and structured.
What brand are the gray tee shirts? It's so hard to find a split hem, crew neck that isn't tunic length. Thanks so much!
Love your style and your wardrobe, thanks for the inspiration!
Thank YOU for watching and for the comment 😊
Another great video, I'm trying the uniform wardrobe, it's harder than it looks. Xx
It's hard finding those perfect things but when you do just multiply! I'm still searching for denim pants after the ones i loved (x3) were completely worn out but when I do find them I'll definitely buy more than one pair!
@@BenitaLarsson great idea x
I also prefer neutral colors. Not only in clothing but also in paint shades and furniture / curtains. With clothing, neutral colors make it easier to mix and match items.
My thoughts exactly!
@@BenitaLarsson lol My friend calls me boring. She likes bright colors like orange and purple. . I find neutrals soothing and splashes of color can always be added to a room with side items like paintings and pillows, a vase with flowers. That way it's not so overwhelming.
I so agree! There's enough color around me at work and in life everyday so I love keeping my home a neural calm haven.
Loving your channel and dry sense of humour 😁 Wondering where your workbag is from? The one placed in your hall closet right at the end of the video?
I like your three hooks to hang your clothes you plan to rewear. I have a simple wooden hat stand that I use for the same thing, lets the clothes air out and I save on washing them excessively. Love your videos.
I’m so happy you enjoy them!
A. It looks nice and neat and B. It looks nice and neat. I have finally found someone who thinks like me!!!
I love your channel. Your videos are always pleasing to the eye and ear, and you have so many great ideas for minimalists. Thank you!
'... it's not like I have Neiman Marcus down there!' hahaha Love it!
because a, it looks nice and neat, an b, it looks nice and neat. haha you made me laugh xDD
realy cool video. thank you for the inspiation :)
I really like all your videos.you have given me some great ideas
We live in Indiana in us and are beginning to move from here in a duplex to a 2 bedroom apartment. Thank you
Best of luck with your move and have fun!
I love a simple wardrobe as well! Makes life so much easier. But it is fun to admire beautiful fashion...on a model! Lol
Exactly!
I love your wardrobe!! I’ve always called my clothes my uniform too!! I love black & gray as well!! I’m going to copy everything you do!! 😜😜
Do, do!😂😂
I forgot to ask where did you get the white tray in your closet that you put your cozy socks & scissors in? Is the inside marble? I love it! I want a few of those!! 💗💗
It's from a local crafts store and the marble is sticky back plastic :)
Well I may have crossed over to stalkerville!! I am redoing my closets & I think I have watched this video 50 times now!! I just love your organization skills!! Thank you for sharing all of your great tips!! How do you organize your fridge & your food in your cabinets!! 💗💗
Kim Boston 😂 But so happy you feel inspired!
Omg!!! You are my twin.... I do all the same things!!🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for sharing 😘👍
Love the leopard print slides! Can you please share where they are from? Thanks!
They are Adilette by Adidas but quite a few years old.
Very inspiring! I want to have a good clear-out now.
Can I ask where the folding steps tool is from? I can’t seem to locate one -thx! I am so enjoying your videos! Happy new year!
It’s from IKEA!
@@BenitaLarsson thank you!
Does anyone have links for the shoes mentioned? I love them! ☺️
The links I have can be found here www.benitalarsson.com/sources/clothing-sources
I'm to copy your clothe's color. Very practical and easy to keep clean!
🤣🤣🤣 i recently bought 5 of the same black bonds t shirt i love. I love the things that are best on me! It made me laugh that you do the same. I have so many of the same underwear too. My husband is so annoyed at me for having terrible large while underwear
Haha, great minds think alike!
