We live in London, two of us in a tiny flat (~500sqft). For a while we had a lodger in the spare room (yes, two bedrooms in 500sqft). We have very few things we don't need or use, and have pretty frequent clearouts of all the crap that still manages to accumulate somehow. Even living in this tiny space, there is almost nothing that we need that we can't fit in there. People often wonder how we manage, and partly it's possible because we draw on the public resources around us (e.g. who needs bookshelves of books when you have a library), but also because we have almost no 'stuff' - things we needlessly store and hardly use.
