Minimalism has an image problem. Say the word and most people picture a white room with a single chair, concrete floors, and the faint suspicion that whoever lives there either just moved in or is about to move out. It's a space that photographs beautifully and feels like absolutely nothing — no warmth, no personality, no evidence that a human being with a stack of mail and a favorite blanket actually resides there.
