The world is going crazy over minimalism, and many discussions, including YouTube videos, suggest its importance and ways to achieve a minimalist home. India, too, is slowly but steadily showing interest. It is essential to know if this trend works for our country.
Defining minimalist
Raghunandan Saraf, the Founder and CEO of Saraf Furniture, calls minimalism a lifestyle strategy and design approach focusing on the essentials of form and function. It helps people lead a focused and meaningful life. "A minimalist's goal is to possess only what they truly need or care about. This mindset goes beyond possessions; it extends to every aspect of life, including the layout of one's home and even daily routines, encouraging a focus on what truly matters." He feels minimalism gives respite from clutter and consumerist pressures. The focus shifts to the present and provides peace by excess removal.
Dr Mahesh M, CEO of Creaticity, has another take on it: "Minimalism is a design or style in which the simplest and fewest elements are used to create the maximum effect. Minimalism had its origins in the arts, with artwork featuring simple lines, only a few colours, and careful placement of those lines and colours. A minimalist prefers the minimal amount or degree of something. In art history, the art these artists created is also referred to as minimalist."
