When designing a high quality life think “less is more.”

We often hear the phrase “less is more.” But what does that mean? In sustainable design, we should strive to add as much function, life, and purpose to our goods as possible. By doing so, we can reduce the overall impact that our products have on the environment. For example, rather than buying a new piece of furniture every time our needs change, we can look for versatile pieces that can be used in multiple ways. Or, instead of throwing away an old piece of clothing, we can upcycle it into something new. Sustainable design is all about getting the most out of what we have. And by making small changes in our consumption habits, we can improve our living standards over time.

So how can we apply the principle of “less is more” to our everyday lives? Here are a few tips:

-Buy quality over quantity: It’s better to have a few well-made items that will last for years than a home full of cheap disposable furniture.

-Repair and reuse: When something breaks, try to fix it instead of throwing it away. And when you’re done using something, see if someone else can get use out of it before you get rid of it.

-Think long term: Whenever you make a purchase, ask yourself how long you’ll be able to use the item. If it’s something that you’ll only need for a short period, consider renting or borrowing instead of buying.

By following these simple tips, we can all do our part to reduce our impact on the environment and live more sustainable lives. So next time you’re about to make a purchase, think about how you can apply the principle of “less is more.” It just might sustainably improve your life.
