I’m just doing the mandatory, slightly comedic intro
for videos about minimalism.
Of course, this is not what my room looks
like…
I recently rewatched a video from my old
YouTube channel and found some
disturbing footage of my room from 3 years ago.
"Here is my room, where most of the LEGO-action happens.
It rarely looks this clean, it use to be LEGO all over the floor".
“It rarely looks this clean”?
Really!?
Since then, I have adopted a minimalistic
mindset and decluttered a lot. This is my new room.
Okay, time for a room tour. I haven't done one of these videos for a long time.
While I’m normally against cluttering up
every thinkable object in your space,
this door is decorated with an artistic piece that
my youngest little brother created.
Very beautiful.
The closet looks…
Okay... At first glance at least.
The rug looks minimalistic enough.
I especially like the colorscheme.
I always take the few seconds required to make my bed…
When it’s on camera.
Besides my bed is my bedside table.
Logically.
They store socks, underwear, some equipment,
as well as notebooks.
I think that I’ve redefined what “nice decorations”
means to me.
Nowadays I like to keep it minimal and clean.
This notebook is for what I call night notes,
which is basically notes about everything
great you randomly start to think about when
it’s time to sleep.
I always display a book that I’m reading.
It’s currently a book about the religion Taoism, described through examples from Winnie the Pooh.
Why am I always reading kid-themed books?
I was a bit hesitant whether to keep the storage
bins under my bed or not,
but they don’t take up so much mental energy to look at and they do actually fill a purpose:
The purpose of storing LEGO, which is the elephant in the room.
LEGO is my favorite hobby when the building
is going well.
This is just a fraction of the collection,
and the only reasonably well-organized part of the collection as well... Yeah.
These storage drawers, also known as LEGO drawers, actually place this working table at a perfect height.
I don’t do a lot of work from the stand-up
desk, but it’s nice to have a secondary workspace.
Moving on to the other side, I have a clean
wide desk, which has room for a computer section,
as well as a study section.
I won’t go through it in detail, since last weeks video was a video about my workspaces.
This Star Wars poster isn’t neccesarily
that minimal, but I don’t have a
minimalistic mindset that comically serious.
It looks pretty cool, so I decided to keep it.
Lastly, I like to talk about the art in here.
My favorite type of art is the art I make myself.
Not because my creations are the most beautiful
pieces of art I have ever seen,
but because my art enhances the feeling that I have crafted my own environment.
So, what pieces do we have?
We have some monochrome figures, that were
once used as street art.
There are a lot of abstract pieces,
as well as art that actually resembels something.
This is a photo I took of my cute little cousin.
This is supposed to be a color splat, just
like some decorations at my local library.
This is…
I don’t really know what this is supposed
to be, but it’s the most reflective thing in the room,
so on Fridays, I use it to see
if my tie is well adjusted.
(And a final pan of the room)
So that's my updated room tour.
This was a video I wanted to film before me and my brother move in to the apartment next door,
which is here.
Once I’ve minimalized this...
Minimalized... Is that a word? Minimalized... Now it's a word.
Once I've minimalized the place, I will
release a video about it. An apartment tour,
but that will be sometimes in the future.
Thanks for watching, I hope you got some inspiration.
This has been Domino Development.
And peace out!
