Minimalism



My parents were trying to convince me the other day about how beautiful the Bhadohi Carpet that they bought, would look in my living room. While this thing was an exquisite oval handcrafted carpet with curvy designs, i was struggling to explain to them about how i prefer regular shapes in my bachelor pad. My IKEA furniture, my TV and its stand and the rest of the stuff that i have, due to some uncanny coincidence, conform to a regular shape. After some degree of rumination and Googl'ing, i now realize that i belong to this huge subset of a population who prefer Minimalism in most material possessions of theirs. My car's a silver coupe, I like accent rugs with Squares or Circles, i like flat panel TV's mounted on Walls, i think bright colors are cool and i like to focus on single wavelengths and not a myriad of colors, i prefer less walls and everything to be open, i like to furnish my meagre apartment surface area with things that occupy least amount of space.
