Lydia from Sagelife Minimalism shares her journey towards extreme minimalism and gives us a tour of her small minimalist apartment that she lives in with her partner. They have downsized most of their furniture and just have a bed, sofa and small table now, and their only storage space is under their bed where they keep most of their possessions like clothing.

Lydia has been decluttering and downsizing for several years and as you look at the before and after images, you get a sense of all the objects that have come and gone from the home. It's an interesting exercise in learning what we really need, and what is just excess or clutter. Minimalism will look different for everyone and is about finding the balance that feels right for each individual.
With plans to travel and to move, Lydia and her partner's priorities are to keep their possessions to a minimum so that they can increase their flexibility and freedom. It also means they can live in a small space which naturally costs less and provides the opportunity to spend less money and to save money for travel.
In the video, she shares some of her minimalist tips, tricks, and how to about the ways she downsizes, avoids collecting things, and lives with less stuff. Including using the minimalist one-in-one-out rule, waiting to buy something, thinking about where the new item would go, and considering whether it's a need vs a want.
