What Is Minimalist Style?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Less is more: that is the \u201cmantra\u201d of a minimalist. Minimalism is a lifestyle, a cultural movement, and a philosophy. The minimalist design aims to create a calm, serene environment by stripping away the unnecessary and focusing on what truly matters. The emphasis is on quality over quantity<\/strong>, prioritizing high-quality, durable materials rather than an abundance of items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to home decor, minimalism<\/strong> means furnishing with the bare minimum, where order reigns supreme and every object can be reached easily. Minimalism in furnishing isn't just about clearing space<\/strong>; it also involves careful consideration of materials, colors, and shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Minimalist Interior Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s put aside country, shabby chic, rustic, and classic styles, and let\u2019s dive into the modern era. In a minimal house, everything must be smooth and easy, with ultra-modern materials<\/strong> for coatings and furniture, with no decorations or paintings (Allowed abstract paintings without glass and frame), the appliances must be of the latest generation and the colors must be neutral and absolutely measured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Materials and finishings<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Starting from the concept that everything must be cleaned easily, minimal style requires resistant materials such as cement, plaster on the walls, and the use of resins for coatings. Everything must convey a feeling of uniformity, linearity, and cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metal<\/strong> is the main material that makes up the kitchen and its accessories, while work surfaces can be used Corian or Silestone, easy to clean and strong enough. The cabinets are lacquered and glossy, while the padding is leather or fabric in neutral colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furnishing a minimal home<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Leaving aside all that is considered superfluous, we choose only the essential furniture<\/strong>. We have the furniture along the walls to free up the center of the room unless we have an open space or a loft: in these cases, in fact, we can afford to use the center of the room perhaps to have the dining table. Where possible, suspended furniture is a nice choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The choice of colors<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Minimal colors are white, black, and all shades of gray. A few exceptions to the rule are granted to \u201cwarm up\u201d the space: we can give a touch of color to the home using curtains or pillows to put on the sofa with a shade that breaks the white, black, and gray, very good colors in shades of beige and brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The choice of the forms<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We talked about colors, but the shapes of the furnishings are of particular importance in a house decorated in a minimalist style. Regular and geometric lines<\/strong> are preferred. Nothing is left to chance and every piece of furniture becomes an island in the environment where the watchword is regularity. The openings are retractable, because handles or knobs may be disruptive to the idea of minimalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History of Minimalism<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It was the sixties, when this philosophical movement dictated the main canons of a radical change, not only in decor and style but also in art. Its main founder was Richard Wollheim. Minimalism means eliminating anything that is not essential. It is a style that reflects the character of a person, and his\/her lifestyle. Minimalism is not suitable for those who, instead, are looking for warmth or love colors, from pastel to strong and decisive shades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
