Embrace The Art of Minimalism
In a previous post, we talked about adopting a minimalist mindset when it comes to decorating your space. But what exactly is minimalism? In general, minimalist homes are characterized by clean lines, simple silhouettes, and a lack of superfluous decor. Of course there are many types of minimalism styles that range from Scandi minimalism to luxury minimalist design.
The minimalist trend focuses on functionality and simplicity, which can result in a calm and relaxing space. Pick one area of your home and focus on decluttering and simplifying that space. Once you’ve mastered that, you can move on to other areas of your home. If you’re interested in exploring this aesthetic further, we recommend checking out our post on ways to achieve the perfect minimalist interior in even a small space.
