I feel like the minimalist design trend is bringing more soulless, similar designs, and the fun of expressing personality through color and shape is fading. Do you think that's a good change? Or do you think we're losing design diversity?
I do like minimalism itself, but I think it’s a bit of a waste when the atmosphere makes it seem like that’s the only option. Functional minimalism, as well as designs that play with color and ornamentation, can coexist with proper breathing room, and that makes both looking at it and living with it more enjoyable.
Personally, I like minimalism as one selectable style, but if everyone ends up choosing only that, the world quickly becomes gray and it feels boring. I welcome minimalism as a way to organize information overload, but if an atmosphere forms that anything outside of it is uncool, and diverse experiments with colors and shapes are stifled as a result, I’d honestly feel that's a loss.
I also honestly find the 'make everything minimalist' vibe pretty dull. I like white space and simplicity, but if it becomes 'that only' and the spark of individuality fades, that's a waste 🥲 Minimalism should be just one tool in the toolbox, and if it ends up like everyone wearing the same thing, I want more color and chaos mixed in 🔥
