The Role of Minimalism – Less is More in the Garage
Minimalism was at the heart of Sarah’s decision to live in a garage, and it played an important role in designing her home and its functionality. Minimalism helped Sarah focus on the essentials, remove unwanted clutter and possessions that may clutter a small space. The goal was to have an environment that is calm, well-organized, and serene so that it reflects her values and way of life.
Sarah was a minimalist, and every item in her garage had to have a clear purpose. Her furniture was selected for functionality, versatility, and compactness. For example, her fold-out sofa bed was for sleeping and also as a comfortable seating area for visitors. A foldable dining table can be expanded when needed and collapsed to save space when not in use. This level of design efficiency ensured that the space was comfortable without being cluttered or overstuffed.
Besides furniture, Sarah’s minimalist lifestyle also touched on her decor. She stuck to neutral tones, natural materials, and simple patterns to create a timeless, uncluttered aesthetic. Decorative items were kept at a minimum, with a few well-placed plants and pieces of art adding character without overwhelming the space. This minimalistic mindset not only kept Sarah’s home peaceful and organized but also connected her with her surroundings as it is quality over quantity in everything she does.
