With apartments, you are bound to adopt a minimalist approach to your living style.
The basic difference between a house and an apartment is the space they offer.
Houses usually have a lot of junk stored up because less space is never an issue, but with apartments, you need to be cautious with the things you keep because of the limited storage available.
In the light of this reality, you will be less inclined to spend money on useless furniture, random knick-knacks, an endless wardrobe that can easily be replaced with a few essential clothing items.
This is precisely why minimalism is about living simply and with a purpose. You will learn to adorn your house with things that bring you joy rather than items that you purchased in the spur of the moment and now you must make space for them.
