Myquillyn Smith, Cozy Minimalist Home How To Create A Cozy Minimalist Home

I needed both the cozy and the minimal in my home, just like I saw it in the lives of the people and homes I admired most. Where meaningful collections are admired and loved and passed down through generations… where there is more than enough room to find a seat and get comfortable…īut I also love the invitation that a cleared-off surface offers, the freedom not to hang something on every wall just because it’s blank, the discipline to know when to stop, and the reality that living with less makes my life so much easier… I want to live in a world where there is room for plenty. I was a Cozy Minimalist…įor years, I felt a twinge of guilt that I wasn’t minimalist enough… At the same time, I was concerned that our home wasn’t welcoming, warm or cozily inviting… the problem was I saw the value in both sides. I was stuck in some awkward design space between cozy and minimalist. That is what “Cozy Minimalism” is all about! Those are us who need to learn to cozy a room and those of us who are looking for help to use less stuff in a room when decorating. Thankfully, Myquillyn Smith is talking to both groups of us in her book Cozy Minimalist Home. And before I decluttered my whole home, I did have an issue with a growing collection of secondhand chairs and furniture projects I was going to fix up but never did! Heck, I often struggle with what to put on my walls, I can’t decide so I leave them blank and rooms never feel finished.īut I do like to collect pretty things and rescue projects. I couldn’t relate directly to being a hoarder of home decor items. The more her home felt unfinished or not right the more she tried to fix the room with more stuff. That is, trying to hide the things she didn’t like about her home by transforming spaces with stuff. Myquillyn Smith, Cozy Minimalist Home What is Cozy Minimalism?ĭuring the previous years of renting, Myquillyn realized she had become an expert “ cozifier”. Isn’t that crazy? Our home didn’t even have a kitchen… all my beloved stuff was packed away, and yet for the first time, in a long time, home felt like a place of rest. Somehow my house became a quiet place even in the midst of remodeling. I started to appreciate walls with less stuff, the invitation of a cleared-off surface, and the quiet beauty of a home that had only what we needed… having space in the house somehow magically translated into the feeling that I had space in my life…
