James Scaife, the founder of furniture and lighting company Olson & Baker, says the key is to embrace natural elements. 'Incorporating materials like wood, glass, metal, and concrete brings a sense of authenticity and timelessness to the room. Not only do these materials contribute to the minimalist feel but they also add visual interest and a feeling of durability.'
'Minimalism is all about subtlety, the beauty of a wood's grain, a lacquer's sheen, and so on. Embracing minimalism allows you to focus on what truly matters. It creates a sanctuary where you can relax, unwind, and find peace in the simplicity of your surroundings.'
