In my previous posts, I mentioned that someone needed to find a name for that sweet spot between minimalism and maximalism. Well, someone has:
It's not that I'm opposed to "minimalism"—but, in practice, I get way more interesting results from "appropriatism."
Thanks to Merlin Mann for this.
Nathan Ryan also has some commentary. Plus, Frank Chimero has this unbelievable quote that just nails it:
Add things until it starts sucking, take things away until it stops getting better.
I like the term, and I suspect it might stick. Or maybe not. I just know that I like things to be simple--no more, no less.
I have called this sweet spot "essentialism" in the past. Other terms might be "practical minimalism" and "practical simplicity."
