Why did you downsize the bed - is it just a matter of space for you at that point?
I used to be pretty big on minimalism as a younger man, around the time the Minimalists were blogging (and before they became a business in their own right). I was single, rented, and it made my life much easier. But I found after a while that the “purging” was sort of a way to avoid living with myself (or to obsess over the wrong stuff).
I still like it but the collection of stuff and things around me are a way to connect with who I was, and the life I’ve lived, and am living. And it’s a nice way to share a space with my partner. Even if her coffee table is too big.
