Rooms that let you breathe

Notes on light, clutter and the furniture we actually use.

Rooms that let you breathe

The rooms we love are rarely the ones in magazines. They are the ones with space to put a cup down and a chair that gets the afternoon light.

Clutter is not only about things. It is about how many decisions a room asks you to make before you can sit down.

Fewer, better, used

We gave away a third of our furniture this spring. The flat did not feel empty. It felt like it could breathe.

Keep the things you actually use, and give them room.
