Nothing beats the feeling of a freshly spruced space. Keeping our homes clean every day requires time and it will be hard to achieve for those who lead busy lives, but we have a better idea: become a minimalist. This design trend emphasizes the concept of “less is more”.
Going back to the basics and getting rid of the “extra” things can bring big differences for your room—not to mention it looks super sophisticated and sleek. This simple approach to interior design is one of our favorites, from monochromatic minimalism to laid-back luxury. However, just like the no-makeup makeup trend, achieving this interior style is not as easy as it looks. If you have long admired the look but are not sure where to begin, our step-by-step guide to minimalist design will help you get started.
What is Minimalism?
Minimalism is an art movement that began in the 1960s and later evolved into design and architecture. Simplicity, neutral color palettes, and clean lines are the characteristics of this interior style.
Clear All Surfaces of Clutter
If you truly want to embrace the minimalist look and feel, all the not necessary things like piles of paper (mostly bills and junk mail), car keys, shoes around the front door, empty cups, sunglasses, and random objects, must be cleared as soon as possible. Ask yourself what can be removed, what can be stored, and what items are not necessary, and then organize them by priority. Maintain consistency in this process by returning to each room every few months with a fresh set of eyes. You’ll discover that there’s always more you can simplify. Give everything a designated spot and stick to it to keep your surfaces clean.
Create a Neutral Base
Minimalist interior style is all about the base color. Most people like to implement white color for their minimalist rooms. Why? It is simply because it is clean and fresh, and it exudes a sense of calm.
However, minimalist interior style is not just about white color. If you want to add some color, choose solid pigments that are easy on the eyes and blend well with neutrals, such as earth-tone browns, blues, tans, and greens.
Use Different Textures in Similar Tones
A minimalistic room with neutral tones can feel cold or bland, but there is one trick that always works: texture. Bring the warmness into the room with knitted throws, beaded pillows, sheepskin rugs, and velvet décor to add some much-needed comfort.
But, one thing you should remember is never too much. If you mix too many textures, materials, and surfaces of all different colors, the result will surely be maximalist style.
Mix and Match the Natural Elements
Natural material furnishings, such as a wooden bench for the entryway or woven baskets as storage for your workout equipment or throw blankets, help to balance the look of white space and sleek lines. Choose a few indoor plants to add a splash of color to your coffee table or place a potted palm in an empty corner that could brighten the space.
Keep It Simple
One thing you should keep in mind to achieve this style is to keep everything simple. Tone everything down, pare everything back, and follow the “less is more” rule. That being said, don’t think your new décor has to be dull. Minimalist design can be beautiful, warm, rich, and inviting when done well.
Choosing the right furniture and decor can bring many differences to your room and could give you the calm and relaxing ambiance you need after having a bad day. You are likely to be in a better mood once your living room is a sight to behold. Besides, you are always happy to invite your friends over as you are satisfied with just how good your space looks.
