Prada isn't just a fan of minimalism, they're apparently also the physical embodiment of it. Some people find Jesus...

In one ear, out the other. You should go pick up that Konmari book as well, pay special attention to the parts where the author explains how being an obtuse, judgemental dick about people's relationships with stuff made people really dislike her.

You're reading your own internal narrative about a person, not the words that are in the post. Hth.

I don't get why people are so desperate to dunk on Prada Slut. They've even said that their method/theory/lifestyle/whatever isn't for everyone and that's okay.

Like, what's really wrong with not accepting a hand-me-down couch and waiting a week or two to suss out what you really want? That really is how we wind up having so much poo poo that we don't really want.

is it possible that the answer is somewhere in between 'hoard like tables will be illegal tomorrow' and 'embrace the gray featureless void'?

If you’re truly set on minimalist, I have some advice from my own failings to decorate it over the years. This isn’t so much a design post but a philosophical one.

As someone trying to cut back a lot this was a good effort post. I've also read the tidying book and loved it.

poo poo's hard to put into practice. My SO is much more minimalist than me after having to learn how to put his life in a pack for life at sea.

I appreciate PRADA SLUT's minimalist philosophy because it gets me to think about de-cluttering my life. It's never something I'll fully achieve, though. Not even close.

Don't get me wrong, Prada Slut has made some lovely, lovely posts in the past.

But these aren't those posts.

You folks coming out of the woodwork to try and dunk on Prada are just coming across as a bunch of shrill reactive jerks because you're showing that you aren't responding to content, but instead to your mental image of the person delivering the content.

None of y'all are gonna successfully achieve minimalism when you let someone else live in your head rent free like this.

Also those light panels are awesome but enough to make a proper statement looks quite expensive. I'd definitely want them wrapping from the wall to the ceiling.

Yeah, i'm probably gonna grab 2-3 extra packs and the flex connectors on their site to do a corner accent. but i love anything that lights up and can be made to look like an 80s synthwave video. i acknowledge this is terrible.

Expecting Prada to be anything other than an obtuse snob with exacting taste and an eye for details is a futile effort and I'm embarrassed at myself for my involvement in it.

That being said, I really want to see the cube.

I’m very confused by that giant wooden wall with the window and that other square thing that looks like a giant pane of glass. Are they parts of a stage set? Look like they are a monumental waste of school resources whatever they are.

The window was a stage prop and the square is empty, it's probably for sliding shoji or to drape fabric for a silhouette quiz. Feel lucky to not see the broken hand-carved marionettes around the corner.

Whoa now, hold up, I got nothing against recessed lights. I have several in my very own house! Some of my best friends are recessed lights. But please do not make a star field of cans on every ceiling-like surface in your house. Also recessed lighting would have nothing to do with color temp so I dunno!

Yeah you definitely clarified that after, I hold no grudge with you. But you said something like "don't fill your house with them" and I did exactly that :)

I don't think you'd even disagree with the way I've done it, but for whatever reason it was nonetheless in response to your post.

Yeah, I kinda like the sorting one with the canvas bags in it (it's like a nicer version of this cheap rack + bag thing we have now). I've been thinking about getting 3 of these: https://smile.amazon.com/Collapsibl...Y0V0NKDAMD&th=1

I like that they're separate and I can easily grab the one for delicates or whatever and walk it over to the living room. They're also small enough to force us to wash stuff before we have like 6 loads of everything to do.
