DOSSIER

Furnishing a minimalist home… Sounds like an oxymoron right? Before you bring anything new into your home, be sure to clear out any and everything that you don’t need and/or love. If you need help with this, read this, it’s life changing. Much like building an edited wardrobe, furnishing a minimalist home is all about quality over quantity. Invest in things you will use forever and that will work for your apartment now and your future home(s). It’s ok to sit on the floor until you find the perfect sofa. Don’t buy disposable furniture, dishes or silverware. I’ve rounded up some of my favorite websites for furnishing a minimalist home and selected some of my favorite pieces.
