“Decided on a whim that I wanted to become more of a minimalist,” she wrote along with photos of the changes.
What does minimalist mean?
In the age of Marie Kondo, minimalism has become quite popular, but what is it?
Joshua Becker writes on Becoming Minimalist that “minimalism is the intentional promotion of the things we value most and the removal of everything that distracts us from it.”
This basically boils down to getting rid of all of the clutter in your home and only keeping things that add value or joy to your life.
What did Duggar Seewald change in her bedroom?
Duggar Seewald decided to brighten up her bedroom by switching out the paint color on the walls.
“Another project we completed recently was our master bedroom minimalist makeover!” she wrote. “The walls were a dark grey, so I started out by painting them the same as the living room— Revere Pewter (Benjamin Moore). Really brightened up the room and made it feel bigger!”
Continuing in the bedroom, the couple decided to switch up their bed, as well as a few other things to clear up some space.
“Then we decided to sell our chunky bed frame, nightstands, and lamps on
“Originally, we thought we would get a simpler headboard/frame to replace, but while we were talking it over, it was actually Ben who said ‘I kinda like the simplicity of having our bed on the floor like this.’ I thought about it for a min, and decided I agreed!”
Duggar Seewald’s room revamp
The reality television star didn’t get rid of everything. Some things she just decided to move around.

Now we can shut the door so big bro can have 15 min chunks of uninterrupted time to build and be creative.”
She also took a few photos and had them blown up to make the room more personalized.
“The print on the wall of Ben and I is one from our honeymoon!” she continued. “I did a 24×36 poster print from Sam’s Club, which was like $13. Then I found a poster frame in that size from Bed Bath and Beyond! The other framed piece above the changing table is a sketch we had done on our honeymoon.”
Finally, she changed out some aspects of the furniture that she already had to give it a new feel.
“The changing table used to be black with black knobs, so I found some inspiration on Pinterest for a revamp! The paint color is Valspar Cliveden Forest, and the gold bar pulls I found on Amazon.”
