Minimalist interior design is all about simplicity. Unlike maximalism, minimalism focuses on the basics and gets rid of anything that would clutter up the design. But, that’s not to say that minimalist design is cold, stark, or empty. It can be, but when it’s done well, it is warm, inviting, serene, and simple.
The main idea of minimalism is to use simple and natural forms and to only add as many accessories as you need. As such, shape, color, and texture are important elements. Functional furniture, geometric shapes, asymmetry, and neutral colors are popular in minimalist interior design. You can get creative with colors, but the palette is usually limited to just a couple of colors instead of a wider range.
