It's one and the same really. Once you have a bit more money the pragmatic live-in-a-shoebox minimalism tends to transform into the "aesthetic" variety - you still own a bare minimum that makes you happy, but you can now afford a better quality of the same. Be it a larger place or a more expensive pair of jeans.

But a larger place is by definition not the bare minimum - you have more square footage than you need.

For bare minimum you can sleep on a park bench :)

"Need" is subjective and the rest follows from there.
