Minimalism is a trend of decorating with as few basic elements as possible in order to gain functionality, sobriety and space. There is only room for what is considered strictly necessary and basic. Within this style it can be said that there are three fundamental pillars on which everything will be based.

On the one hand we have the fact of reducing to the maximum everything that has to do with artistic elements. For example, pictures and those elements that hang on the walls.
The decorative elements that are located on a piece of furniture should be reduced to a minimum since they overload as a whole and that feeling of spaciousness so necessary in this case is not achieved.
The environment that is built must be useful, usable, simple, with precision in the finishes – details, and with essential and rectilinear geometry. It can be said that the space that you want to decorate should be to live it and not to install furniture.

Here are some tips:

  1. Before starting to decorate, a common practice of professionals in the area is to first do a knowledge review, asking yourself three key points: For what purpose is the space that I am going to decorate used and what activities are going to be carried out. How you are going to enjoy that space and what usual activities are going to be practiced in it. How many people will participate in that space. If the whole family will be there, if it is a room only to sleep, if it is a work area … etc.
  2. There is a false belief that everything we normally buy is cheaper than what is made to measure. In reality, it is not always this way, it is preferable to seek advice from a professional in the decoration area.
  3. In the case of houses or apartments, a good idea would be to start from the living room and work your way to the rest of the spaces. It should be borne in mind that the living room is the place where you spend the most time and therefore it is where you need to pay the most attention.
  4. In any area you must try by all means to eliminate those elements that only serve as ornamentation. Space is vital and must be gained in every corner of it.
  5. In modern minimalist kitchens, aesthetics must be prioritized and merged with functionality. Spacious, clean object spaces, with light colors, preferably white and its shades in furniture and cabinets, and without ornamentation.
  6. If we are looking for a minimalist bathroom, the ideal is to have smooth walls so that we will avoid distorting the perfection of the facing, in case we cannot, we must use large tiles that reduce the joints. In the case of the floor, avoid using coverings that have joints to have a feeling of continuity in the same style as the walls, although if wood is used – parquet is perfect for the feeling of warmth in bathrooms.
  7. As for colors, it is always recommended that monochromatic colors be chosen, that is, tones that do not differ much from each other. Otherwise, you can make the mistake of creating a space with many contrasts and therefore very strident, which will also give the feeling of being in a very small space.
  8. To decorate small rooms with colors, a point must be taken into account, if the ceilings are low they should be painted in light colors, preferably white, so we will give a feeling of spaciousness in the room.
  9. To decorate large rooms with high ceilings we must give a more coherent visual to the space so as a trick we will paint the ceiling with two shades darker than the walls. A visual effect that perfectly flatters the space.
  10. With regard to furniture in minimalist decoration, furniture with a design of straight lines should be encouraged, with basic plans and without ornamentation, and with perfectionist and detailed finishes based on simplicity, but usefulness at the same time.

Some recommended material materials are steel or wood (noble materials) since they convey a really interesting feeling of sobriety.

Leonardo da Vinci said “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” And it must be recognized that there are pieces of furniture that, following this line and after 80 years of their arrival, have not lost an iota of topicality.

Sobriety, order and highlighting the architectural details are the key tips for a good interior design in the less is more trend.
