cozy lounge area in the living room. I recommend<br />
getting natural materials like 100% jute, linen, straw,<br />
hemp, or bamboo. You can also place zafu cushions,<br />
and blanket throws on the rug for extra support and<br />
maximum coziness.<br />
Chairs<br />
If you are satisfied with your sofa, that’s great, but<br />
if you want something that can be easily moved<br />
around, I recommend getting zafu cushions or<br />
rattan floor cushion. I also found this awesome<br />
recycled foldable stool that I use when guests are<br />
staying.<br />
Dining Table<br />
If you have a kitchen counter, you can grab quick<br />
bites while standing. But I know you like to enjoy<br />
your meal slowly and mindfully. You can practice<br />
eating on the floor while sitting on a zafu.<br />
Eating on the floor actually has numerous health<br />
benefits, including better digestion and helps with<br />
relaxation.<br />
Writing Desk<br />
I use the kitchen counter as a makeshift standing<br />
desk, but I also like sitting on the floor while working.<br />
If you enjoy moving to different spots while<br />
working, try a foldable wooden laptop desk. You<br />
can easily tuck it away while it is not in use, and<br />
it is sturdy enough to hold a desktop computer. I<br />
am currently using a collapsible floor desk for my<br />
shared iMac.<br />
Ask yourself these questions when<br />
you are ready to find an alternative<br />
to furniture.<br />
1. Can I live comfortably and feel abundant with the<br />
things I currently have?<br />
2. I want to buy this thing. Who made it and how<br />
was it made? How is the quality? Will it last for a<br />
long time? Is it sustainably made? Is the product<br />
packaging recyclable? Is this material natural? Is<br />
it non-toxic to my body and to this Earth?<br />
3. This is not sustainable or ethically made, but I<br />
really need this to be happy. Am I going to feel<br />
guilty and shameful?<br />
4. Am I being guilt-tripped into buying this because<br />
someone told me that living without furniture is<br />
wrong?<br />
5. Is it worth my life energy, time, and money?<br />
Bookshelf<br />
If you are a book lover and already have the right<br />
amount of collection, I recommend using a floating<br />
wood shelf. I don’t own any hard copy books<br />
because I use an ebook reader, but my sister made<br />
this shelf using leftover wood plank and a thick jute<br />
string. You can also stack your books if that works<br />
for you.<br />
Drawer<br />
If you have the right amount of storage in your closet,<br />
the best way to organize your clothes is to hang<br />
them. You can place decorations and accessories in<br />
recycled shoe boxes or cardboard boxes. I own less<br />
than fifteen clothes, so I hang my outerwear and<br />
neatly fold the rest of my clothes on the bottom of<br />
my closet. I ranger-roll underwear, socks, and accessories<br />
so I can skip all containers.<br />
