The balance between the space that is there and the furniture. No frills and mess. Just clean and soothing.
But what does minimalist interior design mean and how do you create this look? We’re sharing a few examples and tips that will help you to make a beautiful minimalist house.
What does minimalist interior design mean?
If you have to describe this interior style in one sentence: Less is more. Think simple, modern lines and a clean color palette. A place of comfort, peace and space.

White and light
Light is central to minimalism. The white walls and the abundance of light make the spaces seem much larger. A minimalist interior consists mainly of white tones and black is used as a contrasting color. To create more atmosphere, small accents are sometimes added by means of colorful accessories. You will find voids, open kitchens and lots of space combined with a lot of white. This gives the house more breathing space. Use a concise palette, modern minimalist house grounded with neutrals that are easy to work with whites, creams, black and grays.
