5 Ideas for Your Minimalist Home

A minimalist house follows the minimalism design trend rules. The main objective of this style is to find the beauty in simplicity, as well as leaving only what’s basic and the best.  It moves away from the abundance of not needed details, elements, and things that don't have any specific purpose. It may be difficult to give up on the things you once enjoyed but a minimalist home brings you back into your cozy and comfortable space. It gives you less stress, an easy to clean space and more freedom. 

 

1.    1. Minimal Furniture

In a minimalist home, you can start on basic furnishings. For instance, a minimalist living room will just feature a couch, a center table, a TV stand with lamps. A bedroom will only have essentials like a comfortable bed, a lamp, night table and a dresser.

 

 

2.    2. The Artwork

A minimalist home has bare walls as its defining feature. If you must have artwork, consider framing one or two pieces in a muted solid hue. It could be a large canvas or a small picture in a black frame. You don’t need many artworks on the wall, just select the right ones.

 

 

3.    3. Natural Light

The most important light in minimalist style is natural light. Thus, it is ideal to maximize a natural light source like big windows and open floor plans. You can still be minimalist by adding decorative and accent lights such as Track lights, minimalist pendant light, a chandelier light with clean lines and geometric designs. 

 

 

4.    4. Uncluttered interiors

Start the decluttering process room by room. Create good storage solutions. If you don’t have space, donate your unnecessary items or simply throw away.

 

 

5.   5. Choose the right colors

Although hues of white are a common starting point for minimalist color schemes, they are not the only option. In minimalist designs, neutral colors like gray, taupe, black, and wood tones are frequently used. Green, light pink and blue shades are just a few of the subtle accent color options.

 

It's important to add only what is necessary to a space and leave away extraneous items when practicing minimalism. It does not have to be boring and unexciting. Feel free to add on some touches as long as they also serve a practical purpose.
