Lately, minimalism has been a hot topic and its popularity was even emphasized as Marie Kondo convinced us that less means more in terms of happiness. First off, what is minimalism? Contrary to maximalism, it is a movement and style that is basically more about space and organization with simple, uncomplicated, and reductive design. Added to these are characteristics of clean lines and monochromatic palettes. At first, one might think that means boring, but it is mostly about bringing in serenity and peace without compromising style and making everything go cold and blank.
This might be a little difficult to achieve and given our culture of being sentimental people, for some, designing a minimalist space could be a challenge. Although, you need not to worry about that as AllHome is here to help you with our few tips on how you can achieve this while staying stylish and creative.
Bring out the minimalist in you with some of our AllHome specials and take note of these:
First, you will need to clean up your move and remove the things that you no longer need. For items that need to stay, place them in a modular cabinet for organization.
When choosing what should be left and what should be used, consider the functionality of all items. Second, all the elements you put in together should mix well with each other. Consider the lines, color, texture, and overall mass of one thing to the other. For example, in your living room, a clean looking sofa like our sofa set with a functional accent table you can place in the center that doubles as storage. All the other items that are to be placed in the table and sofa should relate to each other. Pair those items with a *lamp for the table and a few simple *pillows for comfort and you are good to go.
Besides the hardware mentioned above, what else are the living room decors that should be present in your living room? As it also functions as an entertainment room for most people, some electronic gadgets and appliances may be present. Try placing them in a wooden tv stand that functions as storage as well. This way, you get to display your flast screen tv and sleek home theater system while being able to hide the wires and gadget accessories you will only need for later.
A good way to balance the neutral palette and sleek lines is using natural materials. Incorporate natural elements to all your spaces like a wooden side table or a bamboo bathroom storage furniture. Some woven baskets are even good for storing purposes.
In minimalism, lighting is also an important factor. The more light inside a room, the more inviting it could look like. Since we are going for more natural colors when we choose the items and that they have to be simple, they may appear boring. That is why more natural light should be invited or make use of ceiling lights that will give the room more life. AllHome has a wide selection of decorative lighting for you.
Even though the main color palette we are using are neutral colors, it does not necessarily mean that you should neglect other colors. You can still accentuate any room using colors that pop, but keep it to a minimum. Some decorative but minimalist artificial plants can bring personality, brightness, and freshness to any space. Sneak in a pillow covered with a plain mustard colored pillow case to your bedroom furniture or your white accent chair.
Do not be afraid to make things interesting while staying minimalist. Using textures can help you in giving some life to any home furniture. Try putting a cream colored shaggy carpet under your home furniture or a white blanket to your sofa set. These textures will allow you to keep a neutral palette without making any space boring.
It may be easy to clean up your space and add in some neutral colored home furniture, but adding home decors could get a little tricky in staying minimalist. Besides thinking about functionality, when you choose a decor, think of why you want to add it in your home. It should be functional and mean something to you. A good place to put some home decors is a wooden standing shelf.
