Minimalist Interior Design

 

Minimalist Interior Design

Based on the principle that “less is more” minimalist design is defined by simplicity, clean lines, order and harmony. The minimalist look first became popular in the 90s and has never really gone away since then. A reaction to the consumerism of the previous decade the minimalist interior is one where individual element are prized and used sparingly. Inspired by minimalist architecture that derived from Modernism which itself was a reaction to the fussy ornament and decoration of 19th Century neo-classical architecture.

Minimalism is concerned with the essence of a space and its furnishings

The minimalist interior features pieces that are carefully considered and combined in such a way as to achieve a coherent décor. This means considering the space as a whole, its architectural features, materials, color and textures. Creating a minimalist apartment or a minimalist house should reflect the personality of its inhabitants. Not so neutral as to be sterile but rather aiming for tantalizing through quality and authenticity. Inspiration can be found in traditional Japanese interiors as well as Scandinavian interior design.

Colour plays a central role in the creation of the minimalist living room. Wall finishes and furnishings should ideally be kept within the same colour palette. The sofa is a great starting point, given it’s generally the focal point around which the room is organised. Investing in a quality piece of design which will endure over time is recommended. Minimalism doesn’t mean boring so include accessories and decorative objects that provide a pop of colour.

The kitchen often represents the single greatest expenditure within an interior design budget. Creating a functional and simple kitchen with clean lines is recommended using the best quality joinery you can afford. Choose a bright and unfussy color palette for the minimalist kitchen. The other key element to the minimalist kitchen is order, and that means storage. Keep worktops clear and store condiments, spices and seasonings on shelves fixed to walls.
