iMedia: Minimalism

     Looking at this photo of a modern bathroom, you see the least amount of materials used as well as the large open space in the bathroom. The sink does not touch the floor and in turn leaves more space for the consumer. The contour of the chair, sink and the mirror complement each other well because they are rounded. In the bathroom, there are no corners to the sink and this gives the room a more luxurious and basic look. These are all examples of what attracts me to this style called minimalism.

      Minimalism is a practice that many modern interior designers are starting to use in the 21st century. Luxury homes use this approach in decorating to seem more simplistic and more resourceful. The wealthy are crazed with the thought that everything has to be “green” in this day and age and as a result minimalism has been taking over many homes in America.

       Minimalism conveys a calm flow of energy and that allows me to clear my mind and feel a sense of tranquility. My chaotic mind is affected by its surroundings so to me this is a perfect example of how I would like my house to look like. Minimalism does not just effect the way we furnish our homes but also the way that we modernly create music as well as art. The result of this style affecting so many aspects of life allows us to conclude that it molds the current American culture today.
