Minimalism
When I say “Minimalistic,” do you say “Boring?” Today’s magazine spreads read minimalistic, but they are anything but dull.
By my working definition,
MINIMALISM IS ACHIEVED THROUGH RESTRAINT
It avoids clutter and focusses on neutral colors, clean lines, natural light.
Minimalism prioritizes utility and purpose over decoration.
How can you be Minimalistic without being Minimalistic? Think…
Essential, Simplistic, Functional
Minimalism is achieved through carefully selecting home furnishing and décor that have meaning to you. Remember, everything you own doesn’t need to be displayed at once.
Keep your counters clear, your cabinets organized.
Choose furniture that does double duty… is it a leather ottoman or a leather coffee table?
Leave negative space. Not every vertical or horizontal square inch must be occupied.
Choose one big piece of art instead of a gallery wall.
A simple drum pendant will illuminate your island.
Color, pattern, and texture can be minimalistic.
A navy pillow adds a pop of color to a beige sofa.
Throw a sheep skin over wooden chairs to cozy up a dining room.
A hat collection, evenly spaced on hooks along a bedroom wall, becomes instant art.
White flowers in a garden border pop against monochromatic green soft-scape.
Simply put, each item chosen requires a reason, a purpose, a justification.
