The Minimalist Home
by Joshua Becker
Becker's room-by-room guide to decluttering, living areas, bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, garage, with the purpose behind each space and strategies for families. It is practical and moderate, with none of Kondo's mysticism and more attention to households with children.
Read it if…
you want a practical, family-friendly decluttering guide room by room.
Skip it if…
you want a philosophy of minimalism; see his The More of Less.
Three things you will actually use
- Define each room's purpose; remove what contradicts it.
- Easy rooms first for momentum.
- Minimalism is about what you keep.
Do this first
Start with the living room: remove everything that does not serve its purpose of connection and rest.
Our verdict
Practical and moderate.
