Minimalist redesign

Minimalist living room ideas

A minimalist living room keeps only what it needs and gives every piece room to breathe. Muted tones, open floor space and hidden storage make it easy to relax and easy to clean.

Tips for your living room

  • Remove a piece of furniture before adding anything new; empty floor is part of the design.
  • Keep everything off the floor except the sofa, a table and one chair.
  • Hide everyday objects in closed storage and leave one or two objects on display.
  • Use sheer curtains to soften light without adding visual weight.

Questions

Does minimalist mean cold?

Not necessarily. Warm whites, light wood and soft textiles keep a minimalist room inviting while the number of objects stays low.

Is minimalist the same as modern?

They overlap. Modern focuses on clean lines and contemporary materials; minimalist focuses on removing everything that is not essential.
