How can you use the stuff you've got so that it functions well and looks right? This book answers these questions and more. New York decorator Ward is an expert in making small spaces both elegant and functional.

"The clutter filling our spaces impacts on our productivity, stresses us out and keeps us stuck. Or stuff stands in the way of the lives we dream about... Decluttering is great for our mental wellbeing, and when done right, it can be good for the planet too. When we rehome, repurpose or recycle the things we no longer need, we free up existing resources for others and reclaim our homes with less guilt. Less Stuff is a guide for people who find it difficult to declutter and who don't want to see things go to waste. Step by step, you'll explore finding your 'enough', learn how to let go of your old possessions without sending them to landfill, and eventually break the cycle of stuff. The end result is a planet with less strain, a home with more peace and a life with more meaning."--Page 4 of cover.
