Minimalism Made Easy!
August 18, 2020 // By: Nikole Patterson-Hurst
Minimalist interior design is filled with clean lines, simple yet modern colour palettes, open concepts and an overwhelming feel of calmness. It’s a style that has gained popularity in recent years thanks to the likes of Kim Kardashian-West and her minimalist dream home, it’s a style that’s very easy to incorporate into any home, and is a great style to use to make any small spaces feel much larger. Beginning in the mid-90s, minimalism is a style that has been adopted by many and incorporated into many new styles as well. Below are some tips and tricks to creating the most dreamy minimalist space in your home!
Stick to simple colours
Keep the colour palette simple-use a variety of cream, beige and off-white colours as the base for every room. Add some pops of colour with muted earth tones, a rich navy blue or keep things monochromatic to keep the space feeling warm, welcoming and home-like!
Use Tonal Textures
In keeping with a simple colour palette, you can still have plenty of fun by adding many textured accessories into any room! Keeping to the monochromatic, simple colour palette, throwing in some textures in the room is a great way to add a 3-dimensional feel to your space. A crochet blanket can be added in the bedroom, leather side pillows, or even a fur or hide rug is a great addition to every minimalist space!
Edit, edit, edit!
The key to a beautiful minimalist home is that it’s sweet and simple. There’s no need to over accessorize. The best tip to keeping a modern, minimalist home is that editing and cleansing are great ways to keep your house filled with the necessities, but nothing more! Need some more inspiration?
