Quite simply, minimalism is the philosophy that “less is more”. In minimalist settings surfaces are clean and uncluttered, and the design is stripped back to the essentials. By removing these unnecessary items, spaces are often made to feel larger and more peaceful.
Two key hallmarks of minimalist style are simplicity and functional design. This means every element needs to serve a dual purpose: it must be practical as well as look good, complementing the pared-back aesthetic.
Interior design should be clean, featuring crisp whites, neutral colour palettes, and a variety of textures.
Minimalist homes need efficient floor plans with open spaces, minimal interior walls, large hidden storage areas, and a focus placed on natural light.
These home designs avoid tucked away spaces, complex lines, and angled roof profiles.
