Cozy Minimalist Home helps you go beyond décor trends to make your home beautiful, stylish, and comfortable on any budget.

Myquillyn Smith's first book, The Nesting Place, teaches us that our homes don't have to be perfect to be beautiful. But how can we apply that lesson to our actual, day-to-day design decisions?

Cozy Minimalist Home is the answer to that question. Writing for the hands-on woman who'd rather move her own furniture than hire a designer, Smith helps you think through every room in your house, one purposeful design decision at a time. With people, priorities, and purpose in mind, you can create a warm, inviting, and timeless home that transcends the latest trends and centers around your personal style.

You'll have the tools to create a home you're proud of in a way that honors your unique priorities, budget, and taste. And best of all, you can completely transform your home starting with furniture and décor that you already have!

In Cozy Minimalist Home, Smith helps you:

  • Recognize your role as the curator of your home who makes smart, style-impacting design choices
  • Know what to focus on and what not to worry about
  • Discover the real secret to finding your unique style
  • Find a sofa you won't hate tomorrow
  • Deconstruct each room and re-create it step by step
  • Create a pretty home with more style and less stuff
  • Make your home look the way you've always hoped so you can use it the way you've always dreamed
  • Fall in love with the space you've created

    • Discover how creating a cozy minimalist home goes beyond pretty and sets the stage for the true connection, relationship, and rest that you deserve.

        Narrator Lisa Wright adopts a well-suited chatty tone for Smith's ramble through her own learning curve from clutter to cozy as a welcoming feature of an intentionally created home. Smith (a.k.a. "The Nester") makes her living as a coziness guru; here, she reminds listeners that cozy isn't a style but a tool. After explaining how she came to strike a balance in her own home between cozy and minimal, Smith leads listeners in assessing and revising their personal spaces to create a welcoming vibe. Wright serves up Smith's order of operations in a disarmingly approachable way; listeners will enjoy helpful tips such as "quieting" a room by removing everything but large furniture, increasing rug size, and making larger statements with fewer pieces.

        Smith (The Nesting Place) collects her thoughts and practical advice about downsizing and eliminating clutter in this spiritually informed book about home style. For Smith, the key is to focus on creating the atmosphere one craves rather than being tied to more and more items. Employing humor, clever terminology, and personal anecdotes, Smith offers practical methods and temporary fixes to ease what she calls “clutter anxiety.” Knowing which pieces of furniture to start with, and how to prioritize where they will go in a room, for example, can help one decide what additional items will be needed. Smith understands how hard it is to find the line between cozy and cluttered, and recommends concentrating on the rooms and styles readers already have. Chapters open with questions to spur thinking about home space: “What about this room draws me in? What ideas can I steal for my own use?” Smith also includes prompts for sparking creativity, steps for getting started, and inspirational sound bites: “When we have clarity and purpose, we find motivation and confidence” and “We long to create because we were made by a creator.” Readers will discover interesting perspectives on decluttering in Smith’s instructive book.
