'Breaks down the process of creating more serene homes into manageable chunks.' Sunday Express

'A step-by-step guide to designing a better home, wardrobe and life, Shira Gill's book delivers its minimalist manifesto with plenty of practical advice for making it a reality in your home. Guided by the dual principles of editing and organising, Shira aims to help you remove the clutter through a process that promotes sustainability, achieves lasting results and can work for anyone, regardless of their property or space.' Sheer Luxe

'I identified with so many of the important lessons Shira teaches in Minimalista. Now I'll know what book to recommend when people ask me to help them on their journey towards minimalism!' Garance DorΓ©, author of Love Style Life

Elevate your personal style, trim your belongings, and transform your life, one room at a time, with this visionary lifestyle and home organisation book from organising expert, Shira Gill.

As a professional home organiser with clients ranging from students to multi-millionaires, Shira Gill observed that clutter is a universal stress trigger. Over the years she created a signature decluttering and organisation process that promotes sustainability, achieves lasting results, and can be applied to anyone, regardless of their space or lifestyle. Rather than imposing strict rules and limitations, Shira redefines minimalism as having the perfect amount of everything - for you - based on your personal values and the limitations of your space.

Now, in Minimalista, Shira shares her complete toolkit for the first time, built around five key steps: Clarify, Edit, Organize, Elevate, and Maintain. Shira teaches that the most important thing you can do is start, and that small victories, achieved one at a time, will snowball into massive transformation. Broken into small, bite-sized chunks, Minimalista makes it clear that if the process is fun and easy to follow, anyone can learn the principles of editing and organisation.

The Minimalista Manifesto:

  • Buy less; live more.
  • Invest in high quality + solid craftsmanship.
  • Opt for natural, sustainable materials.
  • Treat your space + your stuff with respect.
  • Shop your own home before hitting the stores.
  • Celebrate life's little luxuries: fresh flowers, hot water, a good meal with friends.
