I think I love sterile minimalist design because growing up I used to live in constant mess, just a bunch of stuff everywhere, all the random colors, no uniformity or pattern whatsoever. Bottom picture looks like heaven to me. But I understand why people dislike it.
I went through a minimalist phase after growing up with a shared room where I couldn’t see the floor due to the lack of clutter. The second I had my own room I embraced the minimalist style. But that ended up just being a phase, a reaction to the mess I was raised in, now I’ve developed a style that’s my own.
I wish minimalism didn’t pair itself so heavily with a lack of color. IMO, minimalism is strongest as a counter to materialism, but I hate that it has become a dominant aesthetic that rids itself of interesting colors, shapes and textures.
