Which bring up an important point for establishing a permanent minimalist home, in your kitchen or elsewhere: buy quality items that will last in the long-term.

From here, you’ll have to decide if you want to keep your current furniture or move to a more minimalist set of new furniture, like a sectional and coffee table instead of countless couches, chairs, and end tables.
