If you want to go minimalist, then step one is to purge. We can't see the rest of your space, but if it looks like that corner of space, it is going to take some time and effort for you to pare down. You have to be willing to get rid of a LOT of your things. I think starting with things you don't need and/or never use. Then things you may like, but aren't particularly attached too. You may have a lot of sentimentality toward these objects, but you really have to decide what is really worth keeping and what isn't. When you have so many things on display, everything kind of looks like junk. Take things that are in good condition to the Goodwill, or similar place. You may not want or need it, but someone else might.

When such a huge volume of things is involved, you might want to take it in phases. Plan on clearing out one room at a time, and give yourself a realistic time frame, which may be a day or a week per room. Or you may decide that you will just do an hour or two a day until you are done and the whole house is fair game for that purging time. Either way, you need to make a plan.

Just clearing out that corner space of all the unnecessary things will make it more inviting and welcoming. Once you get the plethora of stuff out, then you can start to decide on furnishings and lighting and style. But your most important first step is going to be declutter!

I think there are articles about this on this site. If you go to the stories section you can probably find them.

Start with step one; DECLUTTER!

For best feedback - declutter, post photos of all 4 walls, post a floor plan with measurements, and post inspiration photos.

@ Caroline O ….. my thoughts exactly. If you’re serious you need to clear EVERYTHING out, for starters. What’s with all those bags ???

Modern minimalist is a big change from what you have (glam chandelier, traditional buffet, popular accessories such as lantern, vase, word art).

Adding some modern minimalist living room photos to your ideabook would show what you are aiming for.

Does this photo show the level of minimalism you have in mind? Or something less severe?

Lots of potential for sure - take this week to declutter and then come back with a new photo of the area with just the round mirror, i imagine you can pretty easily sell the furniture piece on facebook marketplace

Declutter for sure. Take away all the nonessential items and start from that point. Make sure you have good lighting too with (lamps) bulbs that compliment your wall, floor and ceiling colors.

Take everything out of the space then add back only what is NEEDED for the space to function . Then take pics of the whole space and post that here in a comment then the addition of some decor can be suggested. Right now you are as far from minimal as you can get

This is modern minimal. Clean lines, limited accessories.

What is your budget for console and decor?

Will you be changing anything else in the room like lighting or your table?

Show the entire entry space. Part of the table is not seen. I hope you plan on changing that entry light.

Will a modern minimalist design suit the adjoining space(s), what are your needs regarding functionality (you just mention entry table and mirror). Have you looked on line for inspiration and saved what resonates and are you interested in modern organic, which can have a warmer feel?

For a modern minimalist look, I’d start with warm neutral tones, clean-lined furniture and some wood wall paneling to add warmth. Layering the lighting would make a big difference too—rather than relying on one main light, add a floor lamp, table lamp or subtle accent lighting to make the room feel more inviting.

Avenue Design has a nice selection of contemporary furniture and lighting, and they also offer design consultations if you need help pulling the whole space together.
