Minimalism is not just a style. This is primarily a philosophy and a way of life. It will be understandable to those who are close to the ideas of rational consumption and moderation in everything.
This style does not imply distraction to external details, but was created in order for a person to pay more to internal content. It is important to understand that people come to minimalism not for the sake of saving the budget, but because of the revision of the quality of life.
Designer Nika Dyuzheva prepared 7 tips on how to decorate an interior in the style of minimalism.
7. Organize storage systems
Every thing should be in its place. You need to think about storage systems. Otherwise, the rooms will quickly become overgrown with unnecessary things that will spoil the original appearance of the interior over time.
6. Choose the first between quality and quantity
If you already know how to highlight the main thing and select only what you really need, then try not to skimp on quality. It is better to spend resources on good things, rather than on more worse items.
This applies to both furniture and decoration, since any uneven joint, crookedly installed tiles or improperly laid creaking parquet in a laconic environment will be more noticeable.
5. Use simple shapes
Forms in minimalism should be simple, without obvious patterns and excessive decor. But at the same time - not necessarily perfect. Hand-made, slightly uneven work also looks good.
4. Make the palette uniform
Minimalism is characterized by a homogeneous, monochromatic range of natural shades. However, primary colors should be presented as a variation of several adjacent shades. This will achieve depth in the interior.
Due to this variety of halftones, a minimalistic setting will not look empty. For example, if you purchased a white bed, the sideboards for it can be chosen a little darker - closer to gray, and the chest of drawers - even a little darker or in an intermediate shade. So the interior will become alive and full and will not seem too austere.
3. Combine different materials and textures
You can combine glass, wood, stone, ceramics - both in decor and furniture, you can use different types of fabrics in textiles - for example, cotton, linen or wool.
This variety well compensates for the weak fullness of the atmosphere and will make your minimalism style not empty and boring, but rather concise, thoughtful and sophisticated in a good way. In addition, choosing materials and textures, you can set a certain character to the minimalistic interior, depending on your preferences.
2. Don't be afraid to use non-functional parts
You shouldn't deliberately deprive yourself of those things that give you joy. Such items will refresh and revive the interior, make it less cold and austere.
For example, it can be wicker baskets, mirrored trays, blankets, paintings and much more. These items are not something necessary and you can do without them, however, they, of course, have the right to exist even in a minimalist interior, especially if they are of value to you.
1. Use mirrors
Minimalistic interiors are not burdened with many details, and therefore glossy surfaces, including mirrors, can well enrich them. They let in more natural light into rooms, scatter it, creating the illusion of a more complex space.
In addition to the usual techniques, mirrors can be hung like paintings or included in compositions from photos or other images.
