How to Style Home Interior in Minimalist?
Minimalist design is often associated with a pure white, soulless, and boring space. However, this is not always the case. Minimalism can be elegant, visually calming, and aesthetically pleasing. It shares similarities with modern and contemporary styles, both of which emphasize on simplicity and functionality. By tracing the evolution of these styles over time, we can appreciate how they have led to the creation of new designs. Through identifying the uniqueness of the minimalist style, elements will be explained in detail to interested individuals creating a home or space through minimalism.
It is well-known that minimalism is not just a style or design but also a kind of lifestyle. This style first began in the 1950s after World World II and eventually became hype during the late 1970s in many industries like fashion, art, design, and more. Minimalism adheres to the principles of the Zen philosophy, leading to the famous phrase ‘less is more’ concept. It focuses more on decluttering space and stripping the layout to its bare essentials. Practicality is being emphasized since every item, furniture, and decoration piece is placed deliberately with a reason, not just through randomness.
When walking through a minimalist-styled home, the first thing that captures your attention will be the visual calmness of the environment created by open spaces with clean subtle furniture. The color scheme and layout of the pieces should create a harmonious atmosphere without anything going out of place. Generally, the color palette sticks to neutral tones with a maximum of about 2 to 3 hues. The use of textiles like linen, wool, and cotton as well as texture comes in very handy to enhance the visual aspects of the decorated space, giving it a touch of elegance and spotlight.
Chosen furniture and art decoration are usually focal pieces with simplicity down to their composition and essential basic form or components. Smooth, flat, and clean lines enhance the touch of their bare natural state, vibing the connection between man and nature. Apart from that, its biggest factor is the utilitarian design which fits into the whole minimalist concept. Overall, so long there is a piece of furniture placed in that space, it usually has its function and reason why it has to be there and not elsewhere. You will be able to find a piece or two in a specific chosen color or print but with the requirement that it blends and fits into the space’s theme as a spotlight.
It’s always an exciting topic when it comes to evolving styles and the comparison of each of their differences. Feature highlights will remain the focus point to bring out what is desired to complete the look you prefer for your lovely home no matter how similar they can be. Finally, choosing the right piece of furniture will definitely help in enhancing the style of your space. Up next week we will be walking into the space of Scandinavian.
