According to the Webster Dictionary, minimalism is: a style or technique (as in music, literature, design) that is characterized by extreme spareness and simplicity. While this definition is accurate, it doesn’t fully explain the appeal of a minimalist aesthetic.

Tatyana Gartner is the founder and principal designer of Tatyana Design based in New York. She was given the task of designing 28 individual bathrooms for a client who wanted a clean modern aesthetic with a touch of industrial.
