This post is part of the series of posts about Minimalism

I have written about my Desk and office many times here at the blog. Over the past weeks I even created a own page for the posts about my Desk to be collected.

But this is not solely about my desk it is about my office and what I think is important for an Minimalist Office. I still believe in the creative zone and that is my office + bedroom.

But now what about the minimalism? I believe in having everything cleaned up. Not having anything not needed laying around. It means to keep stuff thats is not needed every day kept in drawers not seeable so that it does not distract me. Also it is about having as much free space as possible, which mainly is the reason I have a bed without a bed frame — it only needs more space and does not help me in any way so I just have my mattress and underneath a slatted frame.

It also is about simple colors. Not everything colorful but simple also not everything just singleton. In my room I have two dominating colors: RED and WHITE.

And the last thing I want to mention about a Minimalist Office is the paper. I sometimes think about a paperless office and think it might be a good idea to have one. But also I think it is not really essential. I currently have not that many documents to file and those get filed in two folders which are — like sad before — hidden so that I do not see them all the time. Even though I tend to keep my desk paper free which essentially means that I get paper work done as quick as possible and get it out.

In conclusion I think minimalism at the office is about keeping it clean, simple and wide open.
