Adj Someone who uses (finds pleasure in) simple elements with little embellishment.
Clean silhouette. Brevity of line. Stripped palette. If this is your storage match, those seven words fill you with joy. And clutter is the enemy.
You live a colourful life, but the pristine calm of a white palette is where you feel at home.
For you, less is more.
Minimalistic features four Lugano base cabinets with drop-down doors. The cabinets are designed by Morten Georgsen, and come in four colour options. But for this storage match, it could only be the understated elegance of matt white.
There’s a fine (and uncluttered) line between creating a minimalistic home and having a bare and unwelcoming space. That said, if the atmosphere in our room appeals to you, then the effort will be worthwhile. It’s all about balance – of colour and material – and how you distinguish between necessity and excess.
If you’re like us, you probably have more items on display than this look permits. Choose shades of white and remove or conceal anything that doesn’t fit.
This look is extreme, and requires drastic measures. Clear all surfaces, including walls and floors, leaving only essential furniture, and slowly reintroduce your selected pieces. Starting from this end of the scale will push your minimalism threshold further than you would imagine. It will also make the process faster and (hopefully) less painful.
The belief that a monotoned theme produces cold spaces is persuasive but not always true. Use texture as an accent, and arrange so that light and shadow add character and detail to your space.
