Minimalism is all about simplicity. It is about paring down to the essentials. Often, we fill up our homes with things that do not bring us any joy. Today, we are borrowing minimalist principles to help us decorate, from creating focal points to choosing multi-purpose pieces. We hope you find a minimalist tip to incorporate into your home today!
Make a Focal Point
It’s easy to create a focal point in minimalist design because everything around it is simplified. Focus on an architectural feature like a window or fireplace, your favourite artwork, a beautiful accessory, or focus on the furniture. Pick a piece that you know you’ll enjoy looking at for years to come.
Keep What You Love
Minimalism is all about keeping what truly sparks joy for you. If many items spark joy, it’s hard to argue with that, but most often, it’s just a few that will speak to you. Some minimalist principles forgo décor altogether, but we think a few key décor pieces that you love stand out in a sparse space.
One In, One Out
When bringing in a new piece of furniture or a piece of art, consider the one in one out rule. This rule will help you handle how much stuff you are bringing into your home and ultimately how many pieces you have to look after daily.
Multi-Purpose Pieces
When simplifying a room, multi-purpose pieces are the ultimate win! For example, a sofa bed provides a soft spot to land when you’re watching tv and a cozy bed for when guests come over. Another piece we love is a storage bed! It eliminates the need for a dresser, chest, nightstand or other storage piece that may not fit into your bedroom!
Simple Design
Minimalist design has clean lines with little to no embellishments. Look for furniture with clean lines and simple hardware! It will help your space feel much calmer!
Happy minimizing!
