Minimalism and home decor

Not everyone enjoys minimalistic décor, as some may perceive it to be barren and chilly. However, for those who vouch for minimalistic décor, it fosters a unique and unpretentious way of living. The concept of minimalism originates from traditional Japanese architecture and design, which advocates "less is more". It involves making the most of minimal resources and has gained significant global popularity among celebrities, professionals, and architects. Recently, decorators and homeowners have taken minimalism to a new level by adopting the concept of "cosy minimalism" as a theme.

There are several advantages of embracing minimalism in home decoration. Firstly, it is a cost-effective way to decorate your home. Minimalist décor promotes a serene and peaceful environment, which can help you relax and de-stress. It encourages the removal of clutter, creating an airy and spacious atmosphere. Minimalism also encourages people to make smart and long-term investments instead of indulging in frequent retail therapy. Many people are attracted to minimalism, especially young professionals who face tremendous stress at work and home. A minimalist home can provide a sense of calm and spirituality, allowing for a peaceful space to breathe and unwind. By incorporating large windows and mirrors, minimalism allows natural light to enter the space and enhance the home's overall energy. Ultimately, minimalism is an excellent way to adopt a lifestyle with fewer possessions, which aligns well with the modern-day ethos of simplification and mindfulness.

To achieve a minimalist decoration, the first step is to simplify while being effective. Instead of investing in large and bulky furniture, opt for elegant and functional pieces that match the overall aesthetic of your home. Mirrors can be used cleverly to create an illusion of more space in a room. Light colour schemes on walls can enhance the minimalist look and feel of the space. Full wall or floor-length mirrors can reflect more light, creating a brighter and more spacious atmosphere. Large wall art can also reduce clutter in a room while showing off your personality. Earthy and cream colour palettes can add an elegant touch to your rooms.

Minimalism is a new trend gaining popularity in India, with only a few minimalist homes and bungalows in major cities. However, there are some great global examples of minimalist homes, such as the Slide House in Japan, a unique and antique house that creates lifetime memories. 

A couple of great examples of minimalist houses done well in India. The Minimalist Bungalow at Baroda by Atelier dnD and Isha's home in Mumbai are perfect blends of contemporary and traditional design. Isha's home features a collection of items that suit her minimalist style and add a unique charm to her house. These homes take cosy minimalism to new heights and will captivate you at first sight.

Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind...   Anyway, let us look at some facts -  Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party. Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself. The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Si

"My cousin touched me there"

Note: When Tan suggested me to post this here...I gave it a thought. I felt he was right.  yeha I know in the election times ..people would be more inclined to politics. Well still..just give it a read :) For the first time when she came in I knew she is going to be one of my best pals. she was bubbly chirpy sociable and a caring human being.she was I felt my true copy. But what I felt wasn't true and I'd never known that trait of hers which never matched mine had such a reason behind it. She never liked to talk or be familiar to the opposite sex. I found this irritating but I just used to remember all her other traits which brought her close to me and made her one of the closest beings to me on this Earth. As she and I had got very close in friendship that we began sharing secrets which we never thought would come out of our mind. And I thought I understood her as I thought she was me. Then one day as we were alone in my room I asked her why she was so unfamiliar and irritat
