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.

When it comes to
minimalist style furniture it’s quality rather than quantity that counts.

last a life time. Neutral colors and classic lines will generally be more
appropriate for achieving the minimalist décor.

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.
