#32 - Minimalism and Slow Living: Exploring Two Paths to Simplicity
Is Minimalism the same as Slow Living?
Short answer — no, but they have a lot in common.
Minimalism is a word you might be hearing more and more at the moment. It is a movement which is taking off particularly in the US and in other western countries too.
The other night we watched “Minimalism: A Documentary about the Important Things” and it got me thinking about the similarities with slow living.
What is minimalism?
“ Minimalism is a tool to rid yourself of life’s excess in favor of focusing on what’s important — so you can find happiness, fulfillment, and freedom.” (The Minimalists)
It is the intention to attach less meaning to things and more significance to people, experiences and purpose.
What this means in practice is getting rid of most of your things and living very simply. Some minimalists aim to have less than 50 possessions at any time.
If you think about what is in your wardrobe, never mind the rest of your home then you will realize that is quite a challenge.
Slow Living is a movement where people decide to live a more balanced, meaningful life through slowing things down and appreciating both the world around them and what they have.
Join me on today’s episode where we dive into the philosophy of slow living and how it relates to the minimalist lifestyle.
We'll discuss the key differences between the two, provide practical tips for designing a slow living, minimalist environment, and explore how this way of life can foster self-discovery and overall wellness.

#31- Designing Mindfully: Crafting Your Home with Purpose
Today, attention is often a fleeting state: Stress, distractions and a digitally connected world shape our everyday lives.
Being more mindful is a way to counter this dynamic, and now mindfulness has entered interior design and architecture. The mindful home is one of the biggest interior trends for 2024.
A harmonious interior design concept in a largely minimalist style is a good foundation for a mindful life.
Open spaces instead of lots of furniture, minimalist shapes instead of extravagant design, and muted colours instead of distracting patterns are its key elements.
Natural materials and surfaces create surroundings that are in harmony with the environment.
Personal style can still shine through as long as the interior design creates space in the true sense of the word and allows the mind to turn inward.
Tune into this episode to find out how you can easily recreate it in your own home with our tips .

#30 - Unlocking the Secrets of Yin and Yang in Interior Design
On today's episode, we'll delve into the symbolism of Yin and Yang and its relevance to interior design.
The Yin Yang symbol, with its black and white halves swirling in perpetual motion, represents the eternal interplay of opposing forces – light and dark, masculine and feminine, old and new. But how does this concept translate into the realm of interior design?
Join me as we uncover the hidden wisdom of Yin and Yang in every beautiful room. From the subtle balance of colors and textures to the juxtaposition of vintage and modern elements, the interplay of Yin and Yang creates visual interest and depth in our living spaces.
In this episode, I'll share three practical tips for incorporating the principles of Yin and Yang into your home decor. Whether you're mixing floral pillows with a contemporary sofa or blending vintage furniture with modern Ikea pieces, embracing duality can elevate your space to new heights of beauty and sophistication.
So if you're ready to add a touch of harmony and balance to your home, tune into The Interior Design Experience Podcast and discover the transformative power of ancient wisdom in modern living.
