Room by Room: The Home Organization Science Insights Podcast

Welcome back to Room by Room: The Home Organization Science Insights Podcast with your host, Gabriella Joustra, and guest Melissa Lee, the founder of Bespoke Only, a New York City-based design firm renowned for its modern approach to understated luxury. Together, they explore the essence of minimalism and its profound impact on one's home.

Bespoke Only is a design firm that breathes life into spaces, emphasizing the intimate and unconstrained. Melissa has a modernist aesthetic coupled with a profound respect for negative space. Bespoke Only’s dedication to natural materials, textures, layers, and juxtapositions defines her signature style. Their design philosophy is all about simplicity, harmony, and the art of embracing negative space.

In this episode, Gabriella and Melissa dissect the common challenges people face when attempting to embrace minimalism within their homes. They provide practical solutions for overcoming these obstacles, ensuring minimalism becomes a way of life rather than a distant goal. Melissa unravels the beauty of negative space, explaining how it offers room for the continuous evolution of both the space itself and its inhabitants.

While the allure of minimalism is undeniable, Melissa acknowledges that minimalism isn't for everyone and that it's okay to have possessions that hold sentimental value or practical use. Moreover, Gabriella and Melissa shed light on the ingenious use of storage solutions to achieve the minimalist aesthetic without sacrificing essential or cherished items.

So, if you're ready to declutter, foster simplicity, and cultivate harmony within your home, join us on this enlightening journey into the heart of minimalism with Melissa Lee. Get ready to transform your living spaces and experience the true essence of minimalistic design.
