I’ve always wanted a home that looks clean and minimalistic, instead of being filled with colorful labels and packaging of different sizes. In the heat of the moment I bought quite a few organization boxes and storage containers. Then I realized, even without them, my home was never cluttered. It didn’t look that nice, but everything was already organized. For example, decanting all spices leads to a clean and beautiful spice rack, but their original container, though ugly, works just fine.

I’m now torn between making my home “look” minimalistic, and keeping it actually minimalistic. How do I find a balance? Do you have some rules you give yourself?
