The home arranged for one person can still leave room for occasional company without apologizing for itself.
STILLNESS
STILLNESS
A place set up around one life is not a place waiting to be corrected. The chair positioned for reading, the table used as a desk, the kitchen arranged for how you actually cook: none of that has to be undone to have someone round for an evening. Hospitality is mostly a folding chair and a willingness, not a floor plan. The apology people offer when visitors arrive is usually the only thing that makes the arrangement look like a shortfall.
Invite somebody into your space as it is this month. Move nothing, explain nothing, and see whether anyone minds.
Does your space suit you or an imagined visitor’s expectations?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
