On the other note, following the minimalistic
principle, finally I have managed to declutter my office room. In the past, it
had piles of papers, loads of unread books and Now only a few very essential
ones are kept. Surely it gives a sense of relief and calmness.
Like lean manufacturing, Japan is also in the
pioneer in lean lifestyle and decluttering. Konmari method by Marie Kondo is
one such:

Book decluttering rules::
My rule of thumb is simple: If it hasn’t been read in six months, it probably won’t ever be read.
https://www.becomingminimalist.com/breaking-the-sentimental-attachment-to-books/
Set aside one shelf of your book case as your “desert island” shelf. Most book lovers have books they know they will never let go of, no matter what. I call these “desert island” books – they are the books I’d want with me if I were stranded on a desert island, that I could read over and over again for the rest of my life. As you come across these books in your collection, add them to your shelf. Not only is it comforting to see those books being saved as you pare down others, you now have a physical boundary – you can have no more “desert island” books than will fit in this one space, so you are forced to think analytically about your collection.
Tiny Action: Clear off one shelf to keep as your “desert island” shelf. It can only hold one row of books – no double stacks or piles!
@@@ my idea is may be within a year not read, and textbooks nonfiction not required within 3 years, then discard. Besides one in, one out system.

One in, one out.
If not worn in a year, since season changes yearly basis, discard it.
Konmari method by Marie Kondo

https://goop.com/style/decorating-design/the-illustrated-guide-to-the-kondo-mari-method/
When deciding what to discard, remember that the endgame isn’t to throw out or donate as much as possible, but to make sure that the things you hold onto make you happy. This is where picking up each item and asking, “does this spark joy?” comes in. It may sound like a hazy benchmark but with practice, it becomes an invaluable tool.
Sort and purge by category rather than by room. While your instinct may be to start in say, the kitchen, and then move onto the living room and so on, it’s best to pick a category (clothing, books, documents, etc…) and go from there. The reasoning is that similar items are likely scattered throughout the house, not confined to one room.
After discarding, designating a specific home for every single item you keep is critical in avoiding a clutter relapse. According to Kondo, fancy stackable storage solutions encourage hoarding, so simple and easy-to-use options are best. Ideally, it should be just as effortless to put something away as it is to locate it later.
KOnmari folding methods of clothing[see the video of folding:
Rather than haphazardly laying things flat in a drawer, they should stand upright; the more folds there are, the less wrinkled the item will be once ready for wear. While the space-saving benefits are pretty far-reaching, Kondo’s other objective is to grant clothes—everything from coats to sweaters to socks—the respect they deserve by touching, appreciating, and properly storing each item.
@@ When wrap keep one side one inch from opened side, then fold to make rectangle half way thing and round it like a roll.
@@@ things should not be piled rather you should be able to key folders at a glance. Plastics filers come in handy. However something you could not do upright, then ok keep them in several folders and stack them up.
Kondo says she has been obsessed with tidying since she was five, opting to arrange shoes and pencils while other kids played outside. She began communing with her belongings in high school and, after years of work at a Shinto shrine, realised her calling as a professional consultant on attaining the joy of minimalism.
“The inside of a house or apartment after decluttering has much in common with a Shinto shrine ... a place where there are no unnecessary things, and our thoughts become clear,” she says.
“It is the place where we appreciate all the things that support us. It is where we review and rethink about ourselves.”

Instead of deciding what to get rid of, she says, the focus should be on what to keep: which few things spark sufficient joy or are truly necessary.
https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/nov/27/top-tips-to-joyfully-declutter-your-home-from-marie-kondo
After joyfully relegating mountains of unneeded or unloved belongings to charity or the bin, she turns to organising what is left. The key, she says, is storing things mostly in drawers, arranged so everything can be seen at a glance and nothing is stacked, a practice decidedly unkind to items at the bottom.
So T-shirts and socks (the ones you’ve kept because they make you happy) are rolled and arranged beautifully, like sushi in a bento box. Cupboards are meticulously reorganised to fit everything from electric fans (at the bottom) to spare blankets (on top).
Papers and documents – there won’t be many since few are truly necessary and they generally hold so little joy – are likewise filed rather than stacked.

Toothbrush principle
++
Keep things where you use them
Store tea by the kettle, envelopes in your desk and the dog lead on a hook in the hall. If you abide by this rule, then you won’t have to frantically search for things again. It makes it easier to tidy them away afterwards, too.
In her book Banish Clutter Forever, decluttering queen Sheila Chandra calls this The Toothbrush Principle. Do you store your toothbrush by the sink, with the toothpaste? Of course you do. Now extend this principle to everything else in your house.

When store something give a cover.
If some thing like table top, you put something put all in one corner and rest keep empty Orr put all thing in a row or column, the rest rwo or column remain empty. Same goes to room design. Keep many sapece empty.
Whereever possible put green plant an d natural lighting available thorugh something.
There may be something for seasonal use like during wedding party, official dinner, witner dress. For such keep something exclusive seprarat. But if you don’t need to use them in a year, throw awa, actually you don’t need it.

Add Color To Unlikely Places,
Fewer things on the wall. Way fewer.
Organize 60 percent of books vertically and 40 percent horizontally on the shelves. This creates balance yet spontaneity (and shows off the back of the bookshelf if it’s lined with a decorative fabric). Stack horizontal books lower than vertical ones: If the vertical books are 12 inches tall, place three to four books horizontally up to four inches high. Add green plants to soften the bookshelf, but avoid flowers, which can look cluttered and distracting.
https://www.rd.com/home/cleaning-organizing/interior-decorator-tricks-free/
When choosing a color palette, assign 60 percent of the room a dominant color, 30 percent a secondary color, and 10 percent an accent color. In a classic room setting, this may translate to designating walls the dominant color, upholstery the secondary color, and a floral arrangement or pillows the accent color. If you have a nice view outside, frame it by painting the interior window trims a dark color.
Often, the most compelling part of a design is how the open space in a room is utilized in order to let it breathe and also to make the room appear more tasteful.

https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/your-homes-negative-space-what-it-is-and-how-to-use-it-to-your-advantage-203207
White space or negative space is simply unmarked space in the design. White space does not literally mean an empty space with a white background. It can be of any color, texture, patterns or even a background image.
“White Space in design composition is same as use of Silence in a musical composition. Without proportionate use of Silence, music is unstructured; some may call it noise. Similarly, without White Space, design is unstructured and difficult to consume”
