You're probably right in thinking that hiding things doesn't make you "minimalist", however, I do think clutter is the main reason homes can feel so overwhelming to be in. Living with others isn't always easy and if you live with housemates who like owning a lot of stuff, you may be able to find a middle ground through creating a shared "storage system" in order to banish the clutter... Also, in doing so you may be able to influence them to be more intentional about what they own, which hopefully makes everyone a little happier and a little less overwhelmed along the way.

5 Besta Frames (192cm) - www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/besta-fr...
5 Besta Frames (64cm) - www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/besta-fr...
20 Lappviken Doors (64cm) - www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/lappvike...
15 Besta Shelves (56cm) - www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/besta-sh...
(The total cost is for the whole storage setup is £875 but we had spare Lappviken doors and hinges from our last storage setup lying around, which is why we only spent £620)

@@manishreddy284 I think so too. Matt's the best!
I'm also an architectural designer and as time goes by I'm slowly turning into a minimalist (not into it yet..will get there) and little did I know I'm also trying to turn my home into what I am without involving my family's wants and needs. I got stressed out whenever I see a mess / whenever there is new unnecessary stuff. For someone like me who likes organization and clean space, this is a disaster in my head. But then I realized I should also be considerate, I'm glad I came across your video today. Appreciate the thoughts you have there! Thanks!
Done!
Great, thanks for the coupon, I've just subscribed to curiosity stream but I can't manage to try out Nebula also.
Please help :')
I sign up for the CuriosityStream but i have no access to nebula. Please advise. Thank you.
I've found that a part of minimalism isn't about owning less stuff. It's about finding ways to neatly organize what you own. A place for everything and everything in its place. Having dedicated spots for the things I own means I hardly ever lose stuff.
Organisation is the first step towards a more intentional lifestyle 🙌🏼
That's true but when you have too much stuff it's impossible to organize them. I was living with 1 wardrobe and a little kitchen and I decluttered and organized my things but still when I wanted to use something, getting it out required making mess because they had to fit all in the small space. I'm going for optimal amount of things per space and designing scenarios of use that never make mess. There are compromises like making small "messes" in designated spaces like boxes, e.g. for underwear. When you change all your socks to the same model, you can just throw them in the designated drawer and never tidy this up because it neither looks bad or complicates usage. I love such things!
My biggest challenge now is that my rooms are small and I made a lot of built-in wardrobes so there's plenty of space but they are quite small and I can't store things of one category in one space, they have to be mixed up to be reached conveniently 😡 I have my sport/home/sleeping clothes in laundry room and the rest of them in the bedroom... Quite annoying despite organization 😬
Organization is *not* minimalism. It's organization.
Clearing away the clutter is great, but minimalism is about getting rid of excess stuff and not owning so much, not about organizing and storing it 😊
It's very freeing having less!👍
This is a daily struggle for me as I've had the privilege of designing my family's new home. I wouldn't describe myself as a minimalist, but I am obsessed with efficiency and organization when dealing with layouts and storage solutions.
Me too! 🙋🏻♂️
Wow that storage wall is amazing. I'd love to have one someday when I own a house!
It is almost like a memory game to remember what is where with the white cubes but I love it! Thanks for sharing this!
Now this is a video I can relate to. Finding compromise with my wife is a challenge, but this inspires me to get the balance right
I'm so glad it was relatable! 🙌🏼
Personally, I organize/declutter some of my mom's items I know she never uses when she isn't home. When she comes back she thinks I just cleaned - not decluttered, which all moms are happy about. Sometimes it's about being sneaky hihi
Buying my kid one dress, MiNiMaLiSaM 😂😂
😅
Hoarder: Well… when i was a child, i had only one dress. So…
😂 Kidding!…
Lol his younger brother looks EXACTLY like him 0:44
People think we're twins!
He looks so calm always ! 😌
Haha, I wish that was the case!
I love those cabinets! Definitely a great way to help friends & family to learn how to be clutter free! I feel inspired by this video!
I'm glad you liked it! 😃
Your idea is awesome! I'll try this at my house. The storage cabinets looks so classy and clean!😍
Something I got from Nathaniel Drew that is sticking with me this past year:
“You can’t change or force someone’s way of thinking.”
And minimalism, or even religion or beliefs in general, applies this so well.
Damn that Cardano quote is actually amazing. I am definitely going to steal that at some point. 🧐
Ayyy! I thought you'd like it. 👊🏼
That storage wall is awesome! I loved the kitchen video too. We will be refreshing our kitchen this year or next - I’m pretty convinced that handle-free cabinets are the way to go.
Minimalist is good at some points, but it's not for everyone. Respect others and then others will respect you, too. btw you editing is incredible🤩🤩
I couldn't agree more. Thanks so much Tiffany!
Minimalisn can be good for anyone, decluttering your home and only having things that you need, use, mean something to you.
"Fish tank and all"... I couldn't help but laugh so hard when you showed your super ecstatic brother and said that lol you sound so annoyed that he brought that fish on top of everything hahaha but seriously I am the SAME way as you when it comes to clutter as I am super ocd about the most minimal details as well and unfortunately I am also the ONLY one that is constantly tidying up 24/7 since I can't concentrate on anything else before doing so otherwise - Super relatable + helpful video and LOVE the storage wall (such a smart idea and so beautifully done!) :)
Another great video. Love the storage wall.
Another great video Daniel!
Love the simple look of the wall storage!
love seeing the blend of minimalist and maximalist (is that the right word? lol) living! really puts it in a clear, and real perspective. i feel like as someone who isn't a minimalist, it's sometimes hard to picture how actual life works when seeing them in videos. So seeing the compromises gave a little peak.
I've been on my minimalist journey for about 5 or 6 years now but my husband hasn't caught my bug until very recently. I wasn't quick to judge him for keeping things but open to talking to him about things when he was open to declutter because he knows how much I enjoy it. Great video! I'm a new subscriber from Vancouver, BC Canada
I can so relate. I really need this wall in my home. A giant place to keep things.
Congratulations to you and your wife on baby daughter! ❤ And also to grandma! ❤
Absolutely amazing that you could find time and stick to creating content inspite of the exhaustive new phase of both your lives. Here's wishing you lesser sleep deprived nights very soon 😁❤️
Yay, you’ve joined Nebula! I spend much more time watching things on RUclips, but I am also a Nebula member, so I appreciate the reminder when there are long versions of a particular video over there :) (I’ve recently admitted defeat and also subscribed to RUclips premium because I couldn’t stand the mid-roll ads especially anymore, so ad-free applies for me either way!)
IKEA are the masters of organisational storage, from the tiny to the huge! Love the BESTÅ! It’s great that you’re a master of compromise, Daniel, and a great designer/architect because you come up with terrific solutions.
I had the same struggle. I used to believe I was put on this Earth to save my family from drowning in their own clutter. 🤣
Same struggle but i must agreed that making room for important loved ones are equally important. Love from malaysia!
That large storage unit is divine!! I need this in my life
I love what you have done and I love more that your mum does not care about what people think. You have a perfect balance between clean, minimal and still keep the objects that are pleasant for your family. Even the fish tank.
What a wonderful video! I'm a minimalist but my mum isn't and we rent a house together. It's hard to find some common ground in the shared spaces and her room is a true mess. So now together we're trying to find a system that works for her, finding the right storage space and just helping out. If we find the proper furniture to store her work stuff, the expansion towards the living room will hopefully end haha.
"Minimal yet mammoth" storage wall ... it sure is WOW!!! 💡👍❤️
That noodle cube is an exact replica of my Asian mother's pantry. Even the tea box!
And my mixed race brother and I moved back in with my mum during huge times of change in our lives... we aren't minimalists but needing organization ideas, because 4 adults have STUFF
This is brilliant!!
The shelves look great! And your brother looks just like you!
Daniel Matt Titchener! 😉 I love your style and way of storytelling. 💚
The more I see your home, the more I want to copy that format (interior & all) into my own future home :)
Each time video with a smile is awesome..
Love this vid!!!!!!
OMG... the timing for this video is perfect. Just bought a house and it has no storage. I've been dreading when my in-laws come to visit in the summer to help take of their grandchild. Mugs half full of Chinese teas and nuts. everywhere 🤨.
Brilliant approach
When I moved back in with my family sometime, I learned that my bedroom was the only place I could live how I wanted. Never moving back in unless it’s a dire need. 😩
Love the idea of that massive labeled storage system in the dining area. It's easy to forget that not everyone is a minimalist 😅
Glad you like it Godwin! 😃
Love the shelf set up, my own suggestion to labeling the cabinets from the inside is maybe instead, color coordinating the cabinets with a colored dot most l likey located on the bottom right side of the drawer. I use that for my apartment so that I can tell which side I open the cabinet from. In your case, you can accomplish that and know what is inside the cabinet too.
Great solution!
Thank you!
Well there’s nothing wrong with this and while it’s not always an ideal choice for an entire lifestyle change for everyone I think it’s a consideration for certain times in a person’s life.
When I was in college I was a minimalist. And my mother has become a minimalist later in life.
I think the key to minimalist is great storage/organization and recycling things you don’t use anymore.
One minimalist wish list I want is a kitchen that I can close away in a closet so I don’t have to see it when not in use. I’m also planning to do this with some of my other belongings at some point.
Anything you do to improve a space by minimizing clutter is exactly my definition of minimalism.
Thanks for the video! Best wishes to you and your family 😊💎
🙅🏻♂️ clutter is the worst!
Due to the high property values here in Vancouver we’ve combined with my daughter and her family of 4 and my adult son in our older family home. My poor son-in-law is an extreme minimalist and he suffers greatly with us. I have been trying hard to clear out 40 years worth of “stuff” and am progressing, but it is difficult to get everyone on board. My husband has every tool in the universe. Our garage would give you heart palpitations!
I love that cabinet 😍
I m now a fan of urs. U made my day
Two thing you can do to improve your storage wall is to add extra shelfs. Looks like there is a lot of stacking going on.
That slow people down and makes them more susceptible to push things to the back and hide the items.
Plus. if you get clear plastic storage bins to put the things in. That also makes it easier to use the full depth of the storage and easier when you need multiple things at the same time
Mate, great videos!! Recently joined your channel. Btw where did you get the sofa in this video ( see 0.26 sec point). We recently moved into our new house and are looking for a good sofa. This one looks great.
I’m glad your brother’s fish was able to move in, too.
This reminds me of the earlier chapters in Marie Kondo’s book about when she was younger living at home and her tidying habits - er obsession.
Was not expecting Charles Hoskinson and Cardano at 1:25. Great insights and video!
Gracias Daniel por tan útil video, x tratar la importancia de la empatía con la familia que no es minimalista.
Gracias por traducir al español!!😊🙋♀️
In the concept stage of building a house. Will be building in a commercial compactor storage system for our home preserved bottles and other items.
Im the minimalist in my family and my struggle is with the leftover food and the fridge and always trying to keep it in order.
I am about to copy that nice storage wall.
TBH I'd lose my mind at your place mate! 🤯HUGE respect!
Getting them to agree on having those cabinets is already a big win! 😭🤣🤣
I have a wife and 5 kids and while I love them all I’m the only Minimalist. They have gotten better at seeing the benefits of it but it is still tough sometimes. And my wife likes to make fun of how my wardrobe is just black, grey, and white.
Lol… Younger brother looking like a younger brother…
Your mum’s so blessed to have her boys around her in her old age. Lol… I hope she thinks so!
Man, your content is genuinely life changing. Especially for a lot of young adults like me in uni trying to grow. Big thanks.
I'm just learning now at 53 that I have wasted so much money on material things that I never really needed. I've started getting rid of clothes,shoes bags and won't buy anything unless I throw something else away. It was hard letting go at first but once done I felt so much better and I'm determined to stay clutter free.
Daniel I had that push open thingy and it stopped working so a tip is push it with a knock like action
Good to know! Half the battle is remembering to close them properly 😅
@@DanielTitchener also Daniel if it gets stuck use the South Pole of a strong neodymium magnet
Hyeee daniel., may i know a name white IKEA cabinet that you used to put stuff and ur food?? Thank you❤️
I am a minimalist architectural historian with a (messy, imo) artist boyfriend. Thank goodness he has a car and studio space, which he can use as storage spaces without any interference from me.
my fam wouldn't follow the labels or organization I set up, so I keep my things separate as much as possible and focus on upkeeping my own room. Trying to manage public spaces was a never ending battle, not worth my time or energy
Hi Daniel, we love your storage wall and want to create one too. Did you organize the doors all open in one direction and did you attach all cabinets together (or to the wall)?
would love to see a house tour
Lol I'm about to lose it at home, my parents and siblings are an absolute mess and disorganized which completely stresses me out and when I mention trying to get rid of stuff that hasn't been used for years or learning to organize, or even getting rid of certain furniture which has out lived its use im told that I'm someone who lacks creativity or "flavor" because I enjoy minimalistic environment, but they see it as someone who doesn't want to clean up or don't like decor or stuff. Thank you for this video I will try these tips out to my family
You need to “Home Edit” (Netflix show) the stuff in those cabinets sir!
storage use like computer folders. I always dreamed about that.
Love a good label maker lol!
Hi i signed up for the curiosity account but it doesn’t link automatically link to the nebula account. Should i create another account on the nebula site? Please advise
Daniel, I signed up to curiosity stream with your link. How do I get free access to nebula? It asks me to enter my credit card again to sign up.
I'm a minimalist with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) of cleaning and keeping things organized, it's just very hard to live with others.
Amazing,
Thanks Sanj!
I rent a room in a house with my coworker. He quickly got too comfortable and started putting his stuff in my cupboards. I can’t wait to have my own place.
that damn blanket that is just thrown onto every sofa
How can we find the coffee mug?
My first step is to make my wife and parents watch this video! You say everything better than me.
My husband has a minimalist wardrobe, but that's pretty much where it ends 🙄. His office looks like a bomb has gone off, he leaves shoes everywhere 😤 and is constantly misplacing keys, phone, wallet etc. I get him involved in find a place for things and really listen to his ideas, I implement them and he still doesn't put things away 🤦. But at least now he doesn't get upset with me when I call him out on it. I like a place for everything and everything in its place, I have always been that way.
How can you remember quotes from every book you read 😀
My mother also has a noodle horde and every time I organize that cabinet she uses the unorganized space to stuff more noodles in. I do not know how we will ever get through that much noodle.
I’ve helped my mother to become more minimalist but she’ll never totally change.
Watching these channels about 'minimalism', I've concluded all this means, have a few bits in white, grey and occasionally black, also IKEA lol.
Hi Daniel, do you happen to know the brand of your black bomber jacket?
Hey Zachary! It's from Uniqlo, but I think it might have been discontinued
@@DanielTitchener ah thanks, one of my favourite stores, so I’m sure they’ll do something similar.
Can't describe my laughing. It felt like listening to a friend. But I need to exercise empathy 😆, coz I still dont get it why we need to keep so many empty jars 😆
I had to find a balance due to my love of a uncluttered environment. I do,find myself picking up,after my family. Can’t let that go. 🤔😘🤔
how do you remember whats where in that cabinet 🤔
i never thought adapting to minimalist lifestlye requires extreme amount of mental effort. i had to give up pretty much everything i owned :( i also had to cut unecessary people in my life. i hope this turns out okay
Even in India it's going to be costlier than Indian rupees equivalent to £620 (GBP). It would be difficult to buy that big of a shelf.
My roommates are animals 😢
I try to live by example but it is hard to ignore the piles of stuff one of them leaves behind. Whenever I clean up space because I reorganized she find new stuff to fill it up with. Not even in a neat way, no messy piles=stacks for real 😢😢😢😢
Great vid - i in fact signed up for the channel and cannot find Nebula or your name, minimalism.... they have not done you a good service if watchers cannot locate your video Daniel....
Thanks so much! Nebula is a seperate service to Curiosity Stream, but if you sign up to Curiosity Stream you get it for free! Here's the link: nebula.app/videos/daniel-titchener-i-turned-my-family-into-minimalists
Hope you enjoy it! 😃
Thank you - my bad 🤦🏻♀️
♡
Whenever I see nebula in the description, it makes me regret clicking. All content creators explain it wasn't the video they actually wanted to make, and that video is on another site behind a paywall. So I am being told I am watching the wrong version.
I wanna live like that 🥺
