These tend toward uncluttered designs, but with eye-catching details like stained glass windows and rich wooden wainscoting built into their architecture. “Visual complexity is determined by the number of colors, shapes, etc., present in the environment and how they are arranged, ,” Augustin observes.
Trending global design styles like Denmark’s hygge and Sweden’s lagom epitomize today’s relaxed and comfortable minimalism., shares that this Swedish mindset is a precursor to minimalism. “The virtue of minimalism is that it psychologically frees us from unnecessary tasks and responsibilities that weigh us down.
That less is more approach applies toward keeping an older person’s space more minimalist. “Falls are our biggest concern in cluttered homes – people tripping due to rugs that are not taped down, falling because they can’t properly use their cane or walker when trying to squeeze through tight spaces, objects on the floor covering up problems such as uneven floors or missing tiles,” Kopke adds.
These are issues not just for seniors, but for caregivers and first responders helping them and other patients with mobility challenges. Getting into or out of a space with too much furniture, trip hazards and overly narrow pathways is difficult for anyone in a supporting role. “Caring for someone in a cluttered apartment increases people’s stress levels,” the doctor says.
This can also help those on the spectrum."Some people with autism may be triggered by certain sensory sensations, making a minimalistic environment beneficial,” observes
