I’m Not A Minimalist | Minimalism vs. Minimal Aesthetic
What makes a design feel minimal?
Minimal aesthetic is often confused with minimalism, simplicity, or even being plain. But to me, they're not the same thing. A space can have plenty of objects and still feel minimal, while an empty room can feel completely plain.
In this video, I break down what minimal aesthetic actually means through five aspects: simplicity, intentionality, visual restraint, balance and proportion, and quality and detail.
Using examples from my own home, wardrobe, watches, and everyday objects, I explore how these principles show up in interior design and the things we choose to live with — from my NOMOS Zürich Worldtimer and Hermès Calvi card holder to my bedroom and sunroom.
For me, minimal aesthetic isn't about having less for the sake of having less. It's about creating clarity through thoughtful choices, visual cohesion, and knowing when something is enough.
