Minimalist Tips, Making the Interior Sweeter

Minimalism is one of the lifestyle trends that's currently in vogue due to its significant positive impact on residents' daily activities indoors. In addition to its positive effects, the appearance of a room undergoes a drastic transformation with the reduction of unnecessary furniture. Besides furniture, the choice of patterns and colors is also a must for those who want to fully implement a minimalist design or style in their living spaces. Here are some tips for residents so they don't 'get lost' when applying the minimalist style.

The first tip is to choose the scale and type of furniture. Minimalist themes and small spaces complement each other, as they enhance both visual and functional aspects. Many people still tend to select large and luxurious furniture that doesn't match the room's dimensions, resulting in discomfort and a feeling of tightness.

The second tip concerns color and patterns. A minimalist design should be balanced with color choices that are soft, unobtrusive, and not too contrasting with other color selections. Besides color, patterns that are too varied can 'diminish' the minimalist impression intended for a room. Therefore, opt for harmonious colors with touches of a single dominant color and keep the furniture as simple as possible.

The third tip is to focus on shapes and contours. In a minimalist-themed interior, sharp, neat, and not overly intricate contours are often used to maintain an attractive yet simple ambiance. These sharp lines can typically be found on the walls, ceilings, floor patterns, and furniture that complements the overall room design.

The fourth tip is space and furniture utilization. Utilizing empty spaces, as shown in the example above, not only adds storage but also enhances the room's aesthetics. However, without compromising the minimalist feel, the furniture used should have minimal patterns and color variations to avoid clashing with the walls on which they are mounted. The next step is multifunctional furniture that also serves to 'reduce' the need for additional furniture, preventing overcrowding.

The final tip is to choose the trendiest furniture for each selected theme. The selection of furniture for a minimalist interior doesn't always have to be the simplest and plainest; it can also include textures, patterns, or colors that stand out among other colors in the room. If the room's walls and floors are monochromatic, then choose furniture or interior accessories with unique textures, attractive colors, and patterns that can 'liven up' the atmosphere or simply serve as focal points.
