Minimalism style living room - design rules and ideas for a stunning look
Minimalism is, in fact, art, being content with the small, living comfortably and getting aesthetic pleasure from it. This task at first glance may seem quite simple, but in practice it turns out that it is much easier said than done. In fact, a beautiful, functional house, decorated in a minimalist style, is one of the most complex in design. The designer is required not only skill, but also restraint. For those of us who are inclined to drag home everything he liked, this sometimes becomes an almost impossible task. Minimalistic design is not adding subtleties, but removing extra layers!
We present to your attention 70 magnificent and inspirational interiors that effortlessly combine form with function, elegance with comfort. With this diversity, your chance to find something that suits you is great enough.

Uniqueness and personality
So, we begin our journey through the living rooms, decorated in a minimalist style. Despite the choice of style, which is characterized by sophistication, modest elegance and clear straight lines, you still have the opportunity to bring character, uniqueness and personality to a minimalistic living space.

Shade game
Choosing minimalism does not mean that your black and white living room should be impersonal and almost sterile. In fact, there is a very fine line between delightful minimalist interiors and boring monotony and monotony, and the most difficult task facing designers is not to cross this barely perceptible line! We suggest you bring a little taste to this modern minimalist atmosphere. Other styles that organically combine with minimalism will help you with this.

The trick is that the living room with these themes continues to be largely minimalistic, and their presence is felt as subtle shades. Lines should still be clean and crisp, complex patterns should be avoided as much as possible.Minimalism in its true form hates everything except the bare minimum! Remember this rule every time you feel like adding a new piece of decor to your minimalist living room.

Art Nouveau magic of the middle of the last century
How often have you seen a minimalist living room that has a delightful Arco floor lamp or an iconic coffee table by Isamu Noguchi? An indisputable fact is that the decor of the mid-20th century in modern minimalist space looks stunning. The connection between them is so natural and organic that we unwittingly wonder why the 70s and 80s changed design trends, abandoning such splendor born in the 50s? Today, modernism of the middle of the last century is gaining a second wind in modern minimalist interiors.

Remember that minimalist style should not be limited to simple straight lines and squares. Sensual curve is also appropriate here, it can significantly increase the attractiveness of the interior. Furniture in the style of the middle of the last century is incredibly comfortable. In a minimalistic space, it provides visual geometric contrast while keeping the design clean and consistent. You do not deviate from the path of minimalism and yet add charisma to your living room.

Establishment of a focal point
One of the biggest advantages of minimalism is the simplicity with which you can create an interior focal point. Proper lighting, a spot of bright accent color or an unusual finish can instantly turn a fragment of the interior into a spotlight, which forces you to turn your head in his direction and change the subject. In a minimalistic design with its one or two neutral tones, the background becomes the perfect canvas, allowing you to select any object to your liking. You can even change these accents from time to time to keep up with the hottest design trends.

Less is more!
When design specialists tell you that you need to remove everything that is possible and save only the decor that you especially like, it is not only about saving furniture. In fact, minimalism is the creation of space. Try to leave a lot of free space around each decor element to give a feeling of a relaxed atmosphere and airiness. It is necessary to maintain the proportionality and visual appeal of the room. A minimalistic type of living space can be achieved by freeing up space not only physically, but also visually. Acrylic and glass tables, hanging accessories and "floating" shelves are very helpful in this regard.

Minimalism does not mean creating a space in which it is difficult to live, a space in which you experience only visual pleasure. After all, aesthetics lacking comfort mean very little. That is why we recommend that you find the right balance between minimalism and functionality. And the key to this, obviously, is to remain discreet when choosing a decor ...
