A philosophy that assumes that “less is more”, minimalist design blossoms in its essence the unparalleled beauty of simplicity. A decoration focused on elegant functionality that seeks to attract the attentive eye, more than what you might imagine.

Environments overflowing with raw tones, unpretentious shapes and colours, soft places and full of light. Furniture that takes care to bring back what is really essential in your home is everything that distinguishes this style of design from the rest.

Discover what are the essential elements for your home to become a true minimalist space.

Investing in quality

When creating a minimalist design, the important thing is to invest in quality rather than quantity. Each piece should fulfill a purpose in the space and to that end value pieces with the quality of the material, superior design, and finishes, that will elevate your environments without overloading them.

Neutral colors

An essential feature of a minimalist design is the choice of neutral colours to fill the environment. Opting for a palette of neutral colours, including whites, creams, and pastels is what makes sense in a style where you are the mirror image of a blank canvas, where you can paint wherever you wish. A monochrome colour scheme is a concept of reducing something to its essence.

Shapes

Minimalism is about straight lines, gentle curves, simple shapes, and an open plan. Try to stay away from very elaborate pieces of furniture emphasized with more complex details. The focus is on keeping the lightness of the lines so that there is an interesting dynamic between the various decorative elements of the environments.

Textures

In a design style where the colour palette does not run several shades, the key is to bet on different textures that create multipurpose atmospheres, creating a more interesting visual flow. Materials such as wood, metal, or stone can be stunning for adding texture while maintaining a simplistic design in your space. The choice of textured fabrics is one of the bets to value in this style of environment for conferring touch and personality to the pieces.

Simple Furniture

The secret to the beauty of a minimalist environment is the simplicity of the shapes and designs of the furniture. The pieces are designed with your everyday functionality and usefulness in mind, to make your life easier. Choose furniture made of natural materials like wood and geometric shapes. Large, bulky, and heavy furniture gives a heavy and distant look to this style. The aim is that the remaining elements can capture the attention of the most curious eyes, like a piece of art or a valuable antique.

Open space illuminated

In minimalism, the preference is for atmospheres with lots of ample space. Leave aside the desire to fill all the space in the room with furniture and accessories.  The idea of minimalism is to have an open and wide space so that you can achieve a relaxing and calm environment. This way you maximise the natural light that comes into the room, as well as the practicality you’ll have in keeping things in their proper place on a day-to-day basis.

Natural Light

Natural light complements its white and light-coloured surfaces, making you feel comfortable and spacious. In this way, it expresses the true colours of its walls, floors, and furniture, maintaining the true essence of the minimalist style.

Accessories and decorations

The decorations and accessories you would like to place in a minimalist environment should be thought out and handpicked. Plants are one of the choices of choice in this environment. Plants in pots of the same size, or pots of different sizes but with the same shape and colour would look perfect.

Artworks are very important pieces to express the personality and feel of those who live in this style of environment, marking the neutral canvas space with colour and texture.

A great way to create an eye-catching minimalist interior design is to bring decoration and function together. Think of a striking lamp on a dining table, which as well as being functional will add grandeur to the space, making it a focal point.
