Less is always more.
In minimalist architecture and interior design, the overall look is one of simplicity and clean lines.
When looking at mindful living and minimalism as an interior design look, decluttering is key; your living style needs to compliment simplicity. Ensuring stacks of sleekly hidden storage helps with practical maintenance.
Subtle geometric forms, structures and materials adorned by natural light ensures the calm fluidity of living in a minimalist space.
Hot Tip: keep feature tones light and compliment with bespoke, hand crafted products. Accessories and lighting make or break a minimalist space - quality is everything.

If you’re lucky enough to have beautiful high ceilings and lots of natural light, your space will instantly have it’s own form and a lot of hard work through interior design is not required. Simply work with these features and add subtle additional features including lights, furniture and textile additions. Styling by Per Olav Sølvberg
Life would feel very easy and uncomplicated when you wake up here.. Clever interior design utilises every available inch and through keeping a minimalist aesthetic, you instantly add space.
Palmgren House, a minimalist home located in Drevviken, Sweden. Designed by John Pawson, this open planned living area perfectly draws in the spectacle of the wider natural landscape and ambience.
