Using minimalism in your decor
Rather than being restricted to an all or nothing approach, incorporating ideas across different design styles can create a unique look for your home that stands the test of time and showcases your personality. Minimalism is one way to achieve an uncluttered and relaxed space that allows individual elements to shine and demonstrates the thought and care that has been put into them.
Minimalist design can act as the neutral base upon which character pieces are highlighted such as antique chandeliers, mirrors or 3D artwork with dynamic textures and colours. Together, they form a curated art collection that can reflect your culture, surroundings, heritage and passions without feeling overwhelming or erratic. Your home will feel lived in rather than another carbon copy of the latest showroom. After all, the home should be a place of comfort that can help you to unwind. You might achieve this with a range of shapes and textures to evoke the senses and creating nesting spaces where you can escape modern life.
Of course, incorporating minimalist ideas does not have to mean rejecting other styles entirely. Having an eclectic mix of furniture, rugs and accessories from an array of cultures can add depth to a space, kept in check with grounded minimalist principles. This does not mean that you cannot push the boundaries and unusual but complementary forms are showstoppers and conversation starters. These shapes can be inspired by nature from your local area and beyond which will only serve to enhance the ambience of the space and using natural materials can take this even further.
Ultimately, there is no magic formula and the key to adding minimalism to your decor is to adapt to your personal taste and the needs of the space rather than sticking to static rules, this is the way to create a liveable space that you truly love. This approach harks back to our designer Neli’s mission at nelisignature to help you to craft a luxurious home that reflects who you are, enhances your lifestyle and is built to last. With these principles, we believe that you can truly embrace the design journey and its result.
