Quality Over Quantity: The 10-Item Wardrobe for Your Home
If you could only keep 10 decor items in your entire home, which 10 would they be? This is not a thought experiment. It is a real exercise that will change how you shop forever.
My 10 Items
A wool rug in the living room. A linen sofa. A solid wood dining table. A piece of art that makes me pause every time I walk past it. A reading lamp that sheds the perfect warm light. A plant that thrives in my space. A set of linen napkins. A ceramic vase. A really good mattress. And a candle that smells like home.
How to Choose Yours
The rule is: only keep things that serve you or bring you joy. If an object does neither, it is clutter. The 10-item exercise forces you to be ruthlessly honest about what actually matters to you.
The Shopping Ban
Once you have identified your 10 items, stop buying decor. Seriously. Walk past the home section. Unsubscribe from the catalog. Your home is complete.
Bottom line: A home is not a collection of purchases. It is a collection of intentions. Choose your 10 items well and you will never feel the need to shop for decor again.
