In today’s time and age where everyone is always on the go, it is intelligent to opt for a design and decor that is easy to maintain. A minimalist decor not only looks good it is easy to maintain as well. A minimalist decor is one where lighting, space, and the objects that you put play a significant role in adding beauty to the home. Choosing this style means that you reduce the furnishing to the extent that they are bare minimum and you only keep selected items that stand out against a minimalistic background. Here are a few tips that would make your home look decorative and beautiful even with less furniture and accessories:
1. Steer clear of clutter: The first rule of creating a minimalist home decor is to steer clear of all clutter. One way of doing this is refraining from buying the unnecessary stuff. Don’t buy things that you do not need no matter how attractive they look. As they say,” Cleanliness is next to Godliness”. For a cleaner space, there should be enough storage to keep all your belongings that need not be displayed on your table, side table, or dining table, or kitchen countertop. The more your stuff is inside the cleaner the house looks.
2. Neutral theme for walls and curtains: Being minimalistic means choosing colours for walls and curtains that are either neutral or white. This makes the space look bigger and brighter. You can also opt for ivory colour or shades of cream for that cool and soothing look that is minimalistic and makes every other object in your room standout be it a piece of furniture or a wall mounted TV set. You must always coordinate the colour of your curtains with the colour of your walls. You never get bored of a minimalistic white coloured or cream coloured wall and it feels so positive and bright that you want to spend more time in your home surroundings.
3. Let light in: Another aspect of a minimalistic decor is letting lot of natural light come in. It makes the space look brighter and accentuates other aspects of the decor. You can use sheer curtains or blinders for windows so that it allows enough light to come in at the same time gives you privacy. You can use slated movable panels as well in place of a window for ample light to come and at the same time totally shielding you from the outside view.
4. Use colours that blend well: You must use colours of the wall, curtains, and storage in such a way that they blend well with each other. Too much colour on the walls and too many dark shaded curtains may look chaotic and messy. So it is always a good idea to use shades of wall that blend well with each other. Even if you want to paint each room with different colour make sure that each colour blends well with the other for a minimalistic look.
5. Buy storage that is stylish: For a minimalistic look you have cleared the clutter and put your stuff in the storage yet there are things that still make their appearance on the dining table. For example, in an Indian home you do not know where to put your pickle bottle or the namkeen and biscuits jars, so you need a storage. So what you want to be doing is invest in a stylish storage that not only stores your extra stuff, it also looks chic.
