9 Minimalist YouTube Channels You Need To Follow

I remember picking up about minimalism through YouTube, and how freeing these content creators' houses looked. While each creator their interpretation of minimalism, there was a common theme of “live with what you need”. Likewise, minimalism often ties in with sustainability and buying items for life. I found the spaces people showed to be peaceful and stress-free, a perfect place in my eyes.

It was during this time I recalled to when I lived at university, where I took survived and thrived with fewer possessions, showing what I truly required. Combined, this has helped me to become more intentional about my belongings and prioritise what brings me joy and value.

While there are many content creators sharing their minimalism journeys, I wanted to dedicate this blog post to the creators I follow, of which they fit into the small to medium creator category. Hopefully, these people will help inspire you too!
