Designing Your Minimalist 

Living Room Space


In the world of art, minimalist style is a perfect way to combat increased consumerism. The philosophy behind minimalism is based on the concept of “less is more” or, in other words, “to keep it simple.” 

The minimalist style generally provides a tidy, warm, and inviting look that doesn’t cost much to achieve; so, it’s best to implement minimalism in your living room space. 

Although a living room is a hub of activities, it doesn’t mean that you have to brim it with unnecessary fittings and embellishments. In fact, through this theme, you can provide a breath of freshness to an otherwise dull and cluttered living room space.

If you have always been in awe of minimalist style but are unsure how to get started, follow the below-mentioned ideas; these simple tips will help you kick things off.

Declutter Your Room

Before designing your living room in a minimalist style, you need to declutter the whole room. As minimalism is all about less is more – first, you have to think about things that no longer serve a purpose in your living room space, so you can remove them to create a clean look. 

Try to keep only the most essential and functional stuff. Take a trip to your room, consider every item, and ask yourself if you can live without it? If it’s a yes, then let it go!

Add Unique Furniture

Thoughtful and considered selection of furnishing creates a well-balanced space that everybody wants to have. Designing a minimalist living space doesn’t mean that you have to stick with conventional furniture pieces.

Choose your rug in line with the colors of your space; it will give an interesting finish look to your minimalist living room. If you feel that your living room’s decor looks too simple, then add a bold colored and patterned rug as an accent.

Add a Pendant Light

Hanging a single light from the ceiling can create a simple and minimal lighting solution. It can work both as a functioning light and a unique statement piece to give your living room an artsy look. A bold color light in a neutral setting will stand out even more perfectly. You can also create a pleasing-to-the-eye contrast between the light and your furniture, like this shiny pendant light with your favorite seating.
