If part of your plans for 2025 include purchasing one of the Collegeville PA homes, be sure to contact us to find thoughtfully designed homes in excellent areas. While you’re house hunting, take some time to consider how you want to decorate your new home. A new home is a great time for a fresh start, getting rid of the clutter and aiming for a more simplified aesthetic.

Minimalism is attractive to many people, but it can be difficult to maintain, especially with children. However, there are ways to incorporate it into your home’s style. Start with the color scheme. White is the obvious choice, but it’s far from the only choice. If you prefer warmer colors, choose a soft cream, sand, or even very pale yellow. For cooler colors, pale gray or blue are great choices. With an open-plan layout, it’s best to choose one color for the open area, though you can always use other colors in individual rooms.

For furnishings, clean lines are ideal, but look for furniture pieces that can provide easy storage to help you keep on top of day-to-day items. Coffee tables with built-in drawers, ottomans with interior storage, side tables with cabinets, and even large baskets are a great way to ensure you have enough storage space to avoid a lot of clutter.

As for furniture colors, aim for neutrals, and try to use similar wood colors for consistency. As well as fitting the minimalist style, choosing neutral items gives you more leeway with decorative color splashes. You can update throw pillows, decorative pieces, and even rugs more affordably than major furniture, so large neutrals are a smart choice.

Minimalism doesn’t have to be dull, though. It can help put a spotlight on the things you like the most. Statement artwork, a gallery wall of family photos and framed children’s art, a colorful rug, or an eye-catching light fixture can add personality to a space.

Don’t feel like you need to completely decorate every room right away. Choose the neutrals and storage that take care of the basic necessities, but take time to live with each space and get a feel for what you want to add to make it feel like home, and not just a showroom. Also consider seasonal decorative pieces that you can easily change throughout the year. It’s a fun way to keep your home feeling fresh and interesting.

Simplifying the interior of your home can help you avoid feeling overwhelmed. As you unpack into your Collegeville PA homes, make sure everything has its own place and find storage solutions for items that don’t. After all, this is the best opportunity to make your new home live up to your dreams.
