Today, get rid of one thing you don't need, the next day from two, the next from three... And so on until there is no trash left at all.

Eye-pleasing color schemes

When choosing a color scheme for interior decoration, it is worth sticking to light pastel colors to create an atmosphere of calm and comfort. Using exclusively white can ruin the overall appearance of the room, so using one or two neutral tones will be optimal. In most cases, adding a bright background tone adds contrast and harmony to the interior. When adding additional colors, the main thing is to know when to stop. Lack of contrast can lead to a vague appearance, and its excess will dispel the simplicity and unobtrusiveness that we strive for.

In most cases, white, gray are used as the main color, beige and cream are used in tandem with them. Bright reds, greens, yellows, lilacs are used as contrasting colors.

Furniture and fittings

As we remember, one of the basic principles of minimalism is functionality. This criterion should be adhered to when choosing suitable home furniture.

Among the many options for cabinets, it is difficult to find the one, the only one that can serve faithfully. Therefore, preference should be given to a custom-made wardrobe, made taking into account your preferences in colors and sizes.

When choosing a sofa or a bed, you should pay attention to a transforming bed, created specifically to save precious space. Functional and pleasing to the eye - what we need!

Lighting

A competent installation of lighting can give the interior a life, a sense of openness. The main source of light in the daytime should be windows, and the larger the better. It is they who deprive the room of stiffness, give it volume. Lighting devices should be placed over the entire area of ​​the room to obtain uniform lighting. Try to avoid bulky lampshades and other massive artificial light sources.
