Our Story

From Cluttered to Clarity

Minimalist Austria began in 2023 when a group of Vienna-based professionals realized they were spending more time managing their possessions than enjoying life. Between cramped Altbau apartments, seasonal storage challenges, and the constant pressure to consume, we felt overwhelmed.

After individually discovering minimalism and experiencing its transformative effects, we decided to create a resource specifically for people living in Austria. Because while the principles of minimalism are universal, the practical application differs based on where you live, your climate, cultural expectations, and available resources.

Today, Minimalist Austria serves as a comprehensive guide for anyone in Austria who wants to live with more intention and less clutter, all while respecting the practical realities of Austrian life.

Our Values

What We Believe

These principles guide everything we create and share on Minimalist Austria.

Practical, Not Extreme

We do not believe in radical purging or owning only 100 items. Our approach is gradual, sustainable, and adaptable to individual circumstances and needs.

Sustainability First

Minimalism and environmental responsibility go hand in hand. We prioritize reuse, donation, and responsible disposal over simply throwing things away.

Community Focused

We believe in sharing knowledge freely and building a supportive community of like-minded individuals across Austria who can learn from each other.

Locally Relevant

We understand Austrian housing, shopping habits, cultural expectations, and climate. Our advice is tailored to the reality of life in this country.

Quality Content

Every guide we publish is thoroughly researched, practically tested, and regularly updated to ensure accuracy and usefulness for our readers.

No Judgment

Everyone's journey is different. We never shame anyone for their current situation or pace of progress. Every small step counts.
