Simple Interior Design Basics,
The minimalist interior design trend is a quote from the famous Mies van der Rohe: “less is more”.
It is this saying that defines the essence of minimalist design,
and is even more evident in the works of the German-American pioneer of modernism as well as the Dutch De Stijl movement.
Its roots can be traced further; To the traditional Japanese design that largely shaped its basics.
So what really makes a minimalist interior “simple”?
minimalist style
The minimalist style is distinguished in architecture and interior design by including only the necessary elements and focusing on perfect lines and surfaces.
This style highlights the connection of shapes and elegant lighting.
Reducing the color palette
Simplicity applies to everything, including colours, as all-white interiors are very popular among minimalists.
Grays and tints of earth tones do the job too, bottom line so neutrals are just the thing for you.
You can also break the monotony of neutral colors by adding accents of monochromatic pastels or full primary colors.
Use of geometric shapes
Simplicity is straight lines, smooth curves, simple shapes and flat levels.
So, you can get away from the intricate pieces of furniture engraved in the smallest detail, it may look beautiful, but it is not for you, keep it flat, smooth and elegant.
Killing boredom with some different touches
Different accents give versatility to the unit’s frame, while still keeping the same color.
Different touches make your space come alive in a simple spirit, and that’s the essence of minimalism.
Balance through a pivot point
Centerpieces, art pieces, or even pieces of furniture can act as the focal point of your interior spaces.
The centerpiece can be an iconic vase on a center table, an electric heater, or a painting.
The relatively large paintings in vibrant colors contrasting with the generally neutral atmosphere are also naturally eye-catching.
However, if your interior already has bits and pieces of color, you should probably attach it to the board.
Prioritizing quality over quantity
Simplicity requires a little frills and extravagant details, so how can you make your interior look elegant?
Invest in valuable materials such as high-quality marble or porcelain,
because you don’t need to cover all of your walls with marble, just one wall or one section, and it can double as a focal point.
Prioritize order and de-clutter
Precision, purity, and neutral colors are the perfect context to accentuate the slightest clutter.
Accordingly, you need to get rid of clutter regularly and find a place for everything,
we should not leave some things on the counters, cupboards and drawers are there for this reason.
Do not over-decorate
You can decorate, but keep in mind not to overdo it, and greens are the perfect choice,
as houseplants in pots of the same size, or pots of different sizes but of the same shape and color, would look perfect.
Painting on the wall is also a good idea, a large painting is much better than multiple small paintings.
Simple art will go with the flow, and abstract art will offer a bit of color.
Use patterns with caution
If you need patterns in your life, this is how to do it, and the rules of color and shape apply to patterns too.
You should choose simple geometric patterns that are characterized by neutral or monochromatic colors,
the fewer details and colors, the more appropriate the pattern.
Using natural light
Natural light complements your white and light-colored surfaces, making your space feel comfortable and spacious.
It also brings out the true colors of the walls, floors and furniture, while retaining the true essence of minimalist style.
