As another comment, I think the author of this article is confusing the decorative products the resulting fashion trend that minimalism has created with the actual lifestyle and the improvements it provides for people where time, efficiency and reduced mental clutter and life clutter is of the essence. Not everyone buying minimalist wallart from urbanoutfitters and posting it on instagram is necessarily representative of people who have organized their thoughts time, schedule, social life, work life and have a resulting apartment decor that represents that.
