Nathaniel Berman is founder of housely<\/a>, a design and real estate blog tracking trends in domestic architecture. Here, he picks his top Pinterest Boards for Minimalism, from architecture and interiors to fashion and lifestyle.<\/em><\/p>\n

From the time we are born, we are pushed to have more and to be more. Understandably, our parents are a driving force behind this mindset because many of them want more for their children than they had. But, this isn\u2019t the only place we are inundated with the \u201chave more and be more\u201d mindset: Ads on the internet, billboards, TV, radio, magazines and newspapers show us every day that more is better<\/i>. Consequently, many of us stress ourselves out working long hours so that we can spend our money on the fanciest cars, biggest homes, trendiest fashions, coolest gadgets and the most popular toys. Many of us are doing a good job at keeping up with the Joneses. But is it really worth it?<\/p>\n

Deep down, we know that our happiness cannot be bought at the local Walmart and more isn\u2019t necessarily better. However, we\u2019ve been told that for so long it can be hard to snap out of the usual cycle of material accumulation. This is where Pinterest comes in: Today, we discuss 10 boards that are ideal for people who yearn for a minimalist lifestyle, giving you some ideas of how to get started or how to take your minimalism to the next level.<\/p>\n
