I'm no expert on interior design but that seems to be the same thing. Minimalism was co-opted by the very consumerism it initially criticized, with corporations telling us that we need more (white, square, lifeless) stuff. If your room only has a ornamental bed your inherited from your great-grandparents and a thrifted wardrobe in it, i would still consider that minimalist
