I think you're talking past the author. When the author says minimalism, they aren't referring to a lack of household equipment, but to a certain form of interior design, and a preference for lack of ornamentation in fixtures.
- richajak 6y agoFor me, minimalism means living with basic things, not the northern europe interior style. It is about functionality and frugality, not about color harmony or hiding complexity inside a shelf. We should not use visual minimalism as a virtue signal to others about our character. Although our living room is very spacious, my wife and I are using one old table as both working desk and dining table. The old table is not in good condition, not matching with our cheap $15 plastic chairs, but we do not feel the need to spend money to buy new one. I think we are simply cheapskate, as well as not concerned about look.
