  Why Minimalism Is So Popular

  

  Minimalism isn’t just an interior design trend; it’s a lifestyle that channels simplicity and practicality. A clutter-free home doesn’t mean it needs to be bare and ascetic— it’s about creating a space with more harmony. 

  Our interior designers can turn your home into a haven of minimalist elegance.

  The New Year is a Great Time to Declutter

  Before having a renovation, it’s a great idea to declutter, which is also fantastic for our mental health. It’s not only a detox for your home, but your mind. 

  We live in an age of overconsumption. Minimalism isn’t just about decluttering, it’s about taking the time to get rid of items which don’t serve a purpose or bring us joy. If every time you look at a piece of furniture, it makes you feel discouraged, it’s time to get rid of it. 

  It can be easy to start small. You might want to begin by tackling one room at a time, or even just one drawer in your bedroom. 

  Minimalism is About Quality Over Quantity

  Living Space can help you find high quality items that will stand the test of time. For instance, you might want to have furniture made from materials like solid wood, leather or marble. A single statement piece can have more impact than shelves crammed with knick-knacks. 

  Having less stuff is not only more chic, it’s better for the planet. 

  Introducing a Neutral Colour Palette

  Neutral tones are one of the markers of a minimalist design. They feature calming shades like white, greys and earthy tones which never go out of style. However, neutral doesn’t have to mean boring: it can be livened up with luxurious fabrics and upholstery, pops of colour (like cushions or throws), and soft, warm lighting. 

  Introduce Smart Storage Solutions

  If you want to reduce the amount of clutter, you might need better storage solutions. Not everything needs to be on display. Storage is there to keep chaos at bay. 

  Living Space can introduce multi-functional furniture, such as ottomans or benches with hidden storage. We can also fit built-in wardrobes which are tailored to reflect your unique needs. 

  Create a Space Where You Can Breathe

  

  Minimalism is based on the principle that ‘less is more’. That means introducing furniture which doesn’t overcrowd a room. Our interior designers might also use mirrors to make your room feel larger and brighter. 

  You might also want to declutter surfaces and keep them clear as possible. It’s about embracing negative space, so your home feels more luxurious and ‘clearer’ in general. 

  Pieces Which Are Beautiful and Practical

  Whether you have a one-bedroom apartment or five-bedroom home, Living Space will help you make the most of the available space. Minimalism isn’t about getting rid of decorations, but about choosing pieces that are attractive along with functional.  For instance, we might introduce some of the following:

  • Statement lighting. Lighting is one of the best examples of pieces which can be practical and a work of art.  

  • Plants. Biophilic design has never been more popular. A touch of greenery not only purifies the air but also adds a pop of life to your space.

  • Books. You might want to feature some on your coffee table for a personal yet refined touch.

  Our interior designers work hard to ensure your home is full of your personality. A common misconception of minimalism is that it’s cold or impersonal. It’s anything but: you can easily include elements that reflect your personality and style. 

  

  For instance, you might want to incorporate photographs, or display items from your travels. 

  The secret is to stick to a “less is more” philosophy.

  We can also help you introduce everything from bespoke furniture to handmade pottery, unique pieces make your space truly yours. All our new furniture is made to order and the standard lead time is 8-10 weeks. We deliver and install everything ourselves, so you won’t have to worry. 

  Minimalism isn’t about erasing yourself from your home; it’s about creating a space where you can shine.

  Minimalist is a Mindset

  Achieving minimalism is one thing, but maintaining it isn’t always easy. A well-designed space makes the process much easier. It’s about encouraging more mindful living, with rooms which not only look amazing but are easier to maintain.
