What is the minimalist style in decoration?

If I had to describe this style with a single word it would be: “simplicity” . It comes from Japan and is characterized by being functional, maintaining harmony in its forms and dispensing with unnecessary elements, giving rise to an elegant result . In addition, contrasts predominate, contrasting light and dark tones. In short, work to make each space functional, having the right elements, without neglecting style at any time.

Finding curves is very strange, normally opting for straight lines and presenting a uniform appearance. Basic shapes such as squares and rectangles are often used. Simple designs such as Nordic or industrial are part of this type of decoration.

Start with the furniture

Choosing the correct furniture is very important, as it must have clear functionality, while also serving as a decorative element. It is important when choosing furniture to keep in mind that this style is characterized by a great feeling of space and must be adapted in terms of lines and colors, and must be simple without overloading the room. This applies to any piece of furniture, from bedside tables to wardrobes. 

Taking into account that the furniture you select will play a fundamental role in the design, give them the importance they deserve and take care of the quality, always ensuring that they take care of this minimalist approach.

What are the colors to achieve the minimalist style

Monochromatic colors are used , with white as the base color . Black or chocolate brown is also common, favoring contrast and depth. However, you can make various color combinations to achieve a perfect minimalist style. In addition, pure materials such as wood, glass or aluminum are also used , giving a very characteristic touch.
For minimalist elements, first of all, gray achieves avant-garde spaces , while being calm and sophisticated , while black creates depth and makes any element very elegant. Likewise, another of the star colors is white, allowing it to reflect light and being easily combinable.

Choosing the floor in this type of interior design

The soil is an element that is not normally given the importance it has, but in reality it is very relevant. Following the commitment to uniformity, it is common to use the same tone in the floor, wall and ceiling covering, seeking the harmony that characterizes this style. Thus, the floors maintain white, gray or black tones, while wood is used, depending on the colors chosen for the room. Finally, it is important not to cover the floors or walls with external elements, so, in general, forget about rugs or paintings.

Decoration of the rooms and living room

In bedrooms, it is very common for the furniture to be limited to a bed, a nightstand and a lamp, with the first taking center stage. Simple, straight lines should predominate and the height of the bed is usually low with a headboard. The color white is a successful option, both for walls, floors, textiles, accessories, and furniture. 
In the living room, it is important to eliminate excess and limit yourself to the essentials , taking into account comfort and well-being. Focus on the essence of things to give a dose of minimalism, achieving a warm, elegant and welcoming space. In addition, focus mainly on the seats, with the rest being a complement to this.
