minimalizm is harder to design than those of traditional designs. and it’s my guess that although Mies van der Rohe and others made a revolution on modern design with ‘less is more’, those who preceeded them made it an excuse to sit back and do nothing and call it ‘less is more’.beware of those kinds.Nolawi I hope you’re not one of these.

but as a personal taste, I love straight lines or perfect curves,good workmanship, and easy to understand form and like somebody said to me once ‘do not design the space to be occupied, design the empty spaces there is where u will live’

I think the argument between “less is more” and “less is a bore” has been around since the Architects Mies van der Rohe and Robert Venturi coined the terms. IMHO design is personal taste and to each his own.

Here is a blog that kind of is in line with Venturi’s less is a bore idea and is based on reflecting black(African) culture (for those who enjoy looking at such things).

your idea of an aesthetically pleasing home is my definition of visual pain. minimalism is overrated and i think it’s popularity is simply due to the ‘herd mentatlity’ amongst interior designers. personally, i love homes that have character, homes in which you can see the owner’s individuality. i love colors, i love furniture with detail and good craft, art pieces, nooks with books, mats, quirky sculptures, old family pics in a complimenting frames, the austier facing the gregarious, neutral tones supplementing prime colors, soft chairs, floor seating, etc….this is my home not a museum exhibition so naturally it should reflect the many sides of it’s owner.

I dont think there is enough room for both of us.

We now just stream netflix onto it from our laptops. It’s really a sweet situation – i’m in control of my schedule, not the tv networks.

Though – i’m always out of the loop at the watercooler talk at the office…as an example, i’m just catching on to californication.

But the no coffee table stuff is just crazyness… where do you put your feet up when you are watching your tv? not to metion a plce to put your glass of wine or beverage of choice.

Thanks, Tsedey, Anox, now you convinced me to just do it. no TV. I don’t watch much anyways.
Don’t need to put my feet up when watching TV.
I can hold my drinks hot or cold in my hands.

Te problem these days is that computers are slowly but surely becoming a replacement of the TV and more….If one has the discipline to watch only news on line and nothing else, they might as well keep the TV just for news and turn it off….
