Trends & Influences: Simply Stunning

Minimalism is about keeping a space simple, uncluttered, and accentuating the attractive architectural features of a space. Minimalism and functionality go hand in hand. A minimalist-designed space incorporates an open floor plan, lots of light, and simple line furnishings that are well-built and comfortable. All these create a soothing and inviting space that has a timeless aesthetic. This is why minimalist decor and practices almost never go out of style when done well.

In a Minimalist kitchen, appliances are tucked neatly away, counters are swept clean of clutter, even cabinetry is free of adornment. But everything is within reach.

Large appliances blend easily with panel-ready fronts or sleek stainless appliances in grey or black. Cabinet fronts maintain their smooth faces with pulls that don’t detract from their simplistic nature. Texture and color in the kitchen can easily be added with greenery or a backsplash.

This will not be a bathroom with a counter full of clutter. It needn’t be boring, but fluidity is key. Use a vessel sink here for its clean lines, accompanied by a modern faucet for its smooth feel and look. Finish the vanity area with a simple mirror and sleek vanity bath bar. This is the perfect design style for a wall-mounted toilet. A freestanding tub completes the look.

Plain doesn’t mean boring, and clean doesn’t mean sterile. One of the best things about Minimalism is that the smallest touches can bring major elements of warmth to a space. Such as a touch of gold or an unexpected statement appliance. When designing with Minimalism in mind, keep in mind what makes it so attractive: light, space, clean lines, and minimal distraction.
