    Why does these kinds of minimalism look expensive?

      Because it’s a very soothing environment, without the clutter of daily life. Note that there are no clothes, papers, television to distract the senses, and everything that is visible is very high quality, made of natural materials - wood, bamboo, ceramics, natural fibers, lots of daylight and plants. Not to say that people who practice this kind of minimalism don’t have clothes, tvs, computers etc., but they are stored in such a way that they aren’t visible. This is totally doable, just have a few high quality pieces of furniture and get rid of anything cheap or poorly made, and hide the clutter of daily life. Add light, plants and fresh air.

      @@lisad62002 hmm ok. I was just wondering, where do they keep their mails? Or their toolbox? Or laptops or the chargers... To have some sort of storage or organization for everything does sound expensive. But thanks for clarifying that.

      There are different people in different houses) and of course Japanese houses are cluttered that is why Marie Condo became so popular. It was part of her job to help people to declutter in Japan

    The majority of the Japanese do not live in traditional wooden houses any longer. Modern Japanese homes are tiny and cramped, not at all in this Western "Japanese minimalism" style. This is a purely Western projection that is counting on naive people who never lived in Japan. There is no such thing as effortless beauty in Japan. Women spend hours on doing their make-up before work, stone gardens are few and have to be attended to each day. This text is nonsense.

      Thank you for your sharing! By the way, nobody says it is how today people live. It is about philosophy and aesthetics, and many people are inspired by it, as they can adopt something to their lives to make it they way they like. 😉
