The Decision to Downsize Your Home

You’ve made the decision to downsize your home. Whatever the reason, you know it’s the right thing to do. But - here’s the rub - you have no idea how to squeeze the furniture and bric-a-brac you’ve accumulated over the last decade or two into the much smaller space you will be moving to.

No matter. Time to get moving, literally. These choices need to be made without delay:  Should you bother to take the living room rug that may not fit? Will your king-size bed block the bedroom traffic pattern? Where will you put all of your photo albums if the big entertainment center that stored them stays behind? How will you have dinner parties if you can’t get your table-for-eight into your new dining area?

If you feel like procrastinating or are frozen with fear about making mistakes, here’s the good news: you’re normal. Here’s the better news: Downsizing Your Home With Style: Living Well With Less breaks the whole process down for you; from start to finish you will know what to take, what to leave behind and what to do with the things you can’t bring with you. You can actually relax because the book will give you a detailed evaluation of the best, most functional furnishings that are always good to have, no matter where you go. You’ll also learn all about the most versatile pieces to buy, in case you don’t already own them, and you’ll have no trouble finding them because they are listed in a convenient resource section. Conversely, the book will prevent you from giving away things that could be useful in different ways, ways you would never imagine, unless you were an experienced decorator. 

Downsizing Your Home With Style: Living Well With Lessguides you through every aspect of downsizing and moving, including the secrets of making your home look chic, no matter how small it is. Whether you are trying to figure out where to store your stuff; how to arrange your furniture; the ideal way to organize your new bathroom or kitchen, you will find all of the information and advice you need to help you live happily with less.
