We all know minimalism is growing among millennials. But, what is it? And why is minimalism so popular?
For those who might be unfamiliar with the term, minimalism is a design concept that strips things down to their basic essential functions – a sofa will just be a sofa, not a sofa/cup holder/sculpture. Minimalism seeks to bring out the core of our rooms, enhancing their functionality while minimizing the unnecessary details and flourishes.
Don't worry, minimalism does not strip you from the liberty of style. The little details and the quality of the workmanship are what make every piece of furniture unique. And, minimalism is about concentration on quality over quantity. You can still create an inviting, beautiful space with just a few pieces of furniture. We’re here to show you how minimalism can achieve just this, if the right balance is achieved.
But first, why minimalism. Here are a few benefits of minimalism that we will improve your quality of life, even if you only incorporate it into one room or add minimalist elements slowly to your home.
1. Peace of Mind
Minimalism is all about trimming the fat of the often excessive modern design trends and reducing clutter. Look at it as the opposite of an episode of hoarders. A fully minimalist room will naturally be clutter-free, as clutter is hidden by chunky cabinets and concealed closets. Along with less clutter, a minimalist room will give you a subtle peace of mind, as you survey complete Zen in your surroundings.
2. Your Wallet Will Love It
Depending on how you incorporate minimalism into your home, you can save hundreds of dollars on the little accent pieces that you don’t buy. No more throws, pillows, or wall art that you love and then leave a few weeks later.
3. More Space
Minimalism will free up the space in your home, making it look larger and more inviting. You’ll love walking into your living room and taking a sweeping look across a wide-open space.
