About this audiobook

Go beyond décor trends to make your home beautiful, stylish, and comfortable. . .on any budget.

Writing for the hands-on woman who'd rather move her own furniture than hire a designer, Myquillyn Smith--author of the The Nesting Place--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.

    Even though she was repetitive for the first half of the book and you could just skip all that, the second half was seriously pragmatic and exactly what we needed. She breaks down principle and process very succinctly. Loved it and very happy to have read it!

    Practical suggestions with a method to follow: consider the function of each area according to your family's current and near future needs. It's rather like Marie Condo - take everything out, pause, then put essentials back in and curate the accessories.

    Some much useful tips especially for some of us non-home people. I have tips I can use and master now that will be used later. Re-reading to write down those tips as well!

    I liked this book a lot! Have some very concrete advise for styling while simplifying life. She does bring up her religion a little bit, which was unexpected and not something I particularly liked, but overall a quick and inspiring read! I’ll read more of her books!

    This book has no substance. Author repeats herself over and over.

    I enjoyed the visual aspect of this book. The photos were a great aid to the book. I probably identify with this sort of minimalism over the puritanical minimalism that some preach. A great book if you enjoy interior design.

    Zondervan is not a publisher that typically does decorating books, and it shows. The photography in this one was a big disappointment: very little of it, and what there was was half filler and half repetitive, overly staged photos of the author's home. The text is fine, if a little obvious. Might be helpful if you share the author's problem of buying too many decor items.

    Such a practical book! Smith takes the reader on a journey through one room in your house, any room you want, in order to quiet the space, make it cozy and keep it simple at the same time. Her steps make it easy to think about how your want a room to feel, identify how to get it there, and then make it happen according to your taste and family needs.

    I’m not into interior design, but I love tips on making my home feel cozy with LESS STUFF! The author gives tangible take aways. Start by “quieting” the room by emptying it of stuff. Then figure out where the big furniture pieces go. Next is a rug, then drapes, then paint and artwork; always in that order. Other tips: go big on rugs and artwork instead of using lots of small random items. Accessories: create vignettes. Seasonal: equipment, not decor.

    I like that the author empowers minimalists to decorate how they want, to break free from the notion that minimal means cold and sterile and empty, and to embrace one's style as dynamic and fluid -- it's okay to change and evolve over the years.This lovely hardcover is filled with beautiful color photos.3.5 stars
