Minimalism Versus Simplicity

Often friends or family upon seeing my bedroom or computer setup comment on the “minimalism”. That description has never sat well with me. It’s not until I’ve started following minimalism blogs like Minima and Minimal Mac that I’ve realised why.

What I’m striving for isn’t minimalism but simplicity. While simplicity is taking away all but the essentials I feel like minimalism is taking away all but the essentials and then taking away more merely for the sake of less at the cost of utility, convenience or comfort.
