I don't consider myself a minimalist. To me, it seems to be too much about owning as little as possible, and that isn't working for me. It seems to work well for people with a very particular lifestyle and taste, but it would drive me insane to live inside that mindset for too long. I think it easily would turn toxic and instead of being freeing, becoming limiting and straining. I also don't like the very\neutral white aesthetic going on. I need some color and textures and things to put my eyes on. The white seems so impersonal, and too stylish. I'm not used to places having a coherent style at all. It feels too put together and too nice. Also, isn't there this line that "you have less to focus more on your life." And like... nope, no thanks. I want exactly enough so I both can rely on the place I live to be wholesome, and more time to live my life.
I do enjoy the ideas of it being easier to clean and less clutter, and being conscious about what you purchase and why - however, instead of this being a minimalist approach, my approach comes from my sustainability values. So A strong yes to good basics and simple layouts all of that, but give me green stone kitchen bench, and blue and white bathroom tiles resembling the night sky as it crawls up the wall dotted with stars. and all the cute lamps that make your room dimly lit. and a lot of books and movies and switch games. and colored curtains w hare heads to keep them at the side, and gold accessories and carpets (sitting on the floor is super nice). the good stuff is in the details; they tell tiny stories about who people are. now i just got to get rich.
but ye, i dunno how ppl define minimalism at this point. this i just how i have experienced it
