What CEOs, Minimalist, and Interior Designer Have in Common (Spoiler: It's Not Coffee)

ree

At first glance, CEOs, minimalists, and interior designers sound like characters from three completely different Netflix shows. One lives in boardrooms, the other lives with one chair and a plant, and the third lives with Home Depot. But weirdly enough, they're all playing the same game" intentional living.


Basically, whether you're running a company, designing a space, or throwing half your closet into the donation pile, you're chasing the same goal - a life that feels like it actually works.



1. Decision Fatigue = Public Enemy No. 1


ree

CEOs make 1,000 decisions a day - hiring, strategy, what overpriced salad to order.

Minimalists cut the clutter so they don't waster brainpower choosing between 17 pairs of jeans. Interior designers solve it by creating layouts that actually make sense (so you don't spend 10 minutes looking for your charger).


Bottom line: all three know that clarity is the real luxury. Or as Steve Jobs showed us - just wear the same turtleneck everyday and call it genius.


2. " Less But Better" is the vibe


ree
  • CEOs: focus on the two things that actually make money.

  • Minimalists: keep the sweater you love, ditch the other seven that itch.

  • Designers: one gorgeous lamp > five random knickknacks.


They're all basically saying: don't hoard, curate. Luxury isn't about more stuff - it's about better stuff.


3. Space Is Power


ree

Minimalists will tell you: empty space = breathing room. Interior designers call it "negative space" and act like its science. CEOs? They need mental space to dream up billion - dollar ideas (or at least a less chaotic Google Calendar)


The most luxurious homes aren't the ones stuffed with things. They're the ones where you can actually, you know... walk without tripping over "decor".


4. Rituals Keep Them Sane


ree

CEOs brag about their 5 a.m. morning routines. Minimalists lights candles and meditate before bed. Interior Designers? They're secretly building homes that you force into good habits - like a reading nook that whispers. "Please, sit here and chill".


Moral of the story: design your day the way you'd design a room, around what actually makes you feel good.


5. Aesthetics matter (Even for CEOs)


Sure, CEOs aren't mood boarding curtain fabrics (well, most of them). But they do care about branding, sleek offices, and looking sharp on Zoom. Minimalists like their clean white and tidy lines. Designers, of course, live for aesthetics.


Because honestly? How things look affects how we feel. A messy room = messy brain. A bad PowerPoint = investors quietly weeping outside.


6. The Real Luxury: Intention


ree

Here's where they all secretly agree. Luxury isn't gold taps or designer sofas. It's living with intension.


  • CEOs guard their time like it's the crown jewels.

  • Minimalists guard their space from clutter.

  • Designers guard your sanity by making your home feel like, well, home.


Luxury is less "expensive chandelier" and more "I walk in and actually feel at peace".



Final Sip (of Coffee)

Okay fine, coffee is still part of the equation. CEOs need it to survive meetings, minimalists sip it from ceramic mugs that cost more than the beans, and designers make sure it looks cute against a marble countertop.


But the bigger point? Whatever you're building a company, a minimalist wardrobe, or a dream home, you're doing the same things: designing life on purpose.


And that's way more luxurious than any chandelier.
