Minimalist Interior Style: Less Stuff For More Stylish Comfort

Interior design elements, in general, include space, line, forms, light, color, texture and pattern. Keeping all of these elements balanced is the key to creating an aesthetically pleasing interior whatever interior design/decoration you choose.

However, you cannot deny the serenity and simple beauty that is brought forth by the minimalist interior style.

The style of minimalism is a design approach that is characterized by laconism and austerity in decoration. It is mainly achieved through the use of functional furniture and interior objects, geometric shapes and a combination of usually not more than two basic colors. Of utmost importance in this design style is how to correctly divide the space. Minimalist interiors are usually compact, black or gray, and have that strict geometric shape.

Minimalism is…

Minimalism is about keeping a space simple, uncluttered while accentuating the attractive architectural features of a space. The palette is mostly monochromatic and color is used as an accent.

The concept of minimalism can be applied to anything… from art and lifestyles to architecture and interior design.

Guide to the perfect minimalist space:

One has to be tactful when going the minimalism route. Your space has to look warm and welcoming.
Not knowing how to go about styling your minimalist space can leave you with a space that feels cold, sparse and unlived-in.

• The interior design in the style of modern minimalism implies a lot of space, so it is desirable to get rid of partitions in the room.

• There is a need for massive windows to fill the room with enough light.

• The color scheme is created using the game of halftones. The most common choice: white color combined with graphic gray.

• Materials: chrome steel, glass, plastic, ceramics, artificial and natural stone, textured wood.

• Table, sofa, furniture, and chandeliers in the style of minimalism have a simple geometric shape. Forms are allowed with a slight bend, but not a spiral.

• Artsy decor and ornaments are not a choice. Walls can be decorated with a couple of minimalistic paintings.

• The design is characterized by flat reflective surfaces. Each piece of furniture has strict proportions and color.

• Instead of curtains, horizontal or vertical blinds are used.

• The light is scattered. Neon or halogen ceiling lamps are often used.
