Minimalista: Your Step-by-Step Guide to a Better Home, Wardrobe, and Life

Getting a lot of great ideas. Best book ever on clear the clutter. This is a keeper! Very good writer and many color pictures that helps. So glad I bought it.

I have really enjoyed this book. Although I am not a minimalist I appreciate simplicity and quality. I read this book with a pen and paper in hand. She has good ideas for changing out the ordinary for something more attractive in the items we use daily. I have given this book as a gift. It is more than just a book on minimalism, it is also a book on how to elevate your space without spending a fortune.

Bought as a gift. She likes the book very much and has implemented some of the recommendations to have less stuff around.

Minimalista by Shira Gill is a beautifully written and visually inspiring guide to living a life of simplicity, clarity, and intention. More than just a how-to for organizing your home, this book is a call to rethink what we truly need and value in our lives. Shira masterfully blends practical advice with thought-provoking questions that challenge readers to let go of the excess—both physical and emotional—that weighs us down.What I most loved about the book is that it is refreshingly approachable and tailored to real-life challenges. She understands that minimalism isn’t about living with nothing; it’s about making room for what truly matters. Minimalista provides actionable steps to transform not just your space, but your life.Added bonus - the book is absolutely stunning. It has lived on my coffee tabled since I bought it months ago!Whether you’re new to minimalism or looking to deepen your practice, Minimalista is a must-read. It’s an invitation to live with purpose, joy, and freedom—one meaningful step at a time. Highly recommended!

Not only is this book beautiful to look at but it has wonderful content as well. It has just the right color tone and lots of useful information to help me along my design journey.

I've skimmed through this book and the pages are beautifully laid out and easy on the eye (no teeny font or crammed leading). The advice itself is general and practical. A pleasant book helpful for those looking to improve their motivational quotient in de-cluttering. On a side note, the (new) book I received from Amazon arrived with badly warped covers. It seems like it was in a box that was stored in a very humid environment. I stacked several heavy books on it for days, but it won't flatten much. Amazon gave me a partial refund for the book.

I have read so many books on organization and decluttering, plus I took a course. This book truly directed me towards the direction that made sense after I answered the questions posed for each room. Since my thinking is abstract random I don’t do well with picking a room and finishing it. Since I tend to do a little then go to another task this book focused on creating your space to suit your vision/lifestyle and to edit first then it goes immediately out the door. The idea is start and success can mean completing just one drawer or removing visual clutter even if it's just your nightstand. No set timeline for completion because it probably took some time for the disorganization to affect you. Just start.

When I got the book and saw how thick it was, I didn’t honestly think I’d actually read it. But, once I started I couldn’t put it down. I never thought I’d enjoy an instructional book as much as I’d enjoy a novel. Her writing style is so good, and she’s so humorous. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that I’d already been implementing some of her ideas on my own. But I also gained a great deal of new ideas. Great book!
