1. Invest In Quality

Minimalistic designs always give preference to quality over quantity. So, whatever decor items you pick, make sure that they are classy, have a luxurious touch, and gives your home an elevated feel. If it has to be less, it has to be amazing.

2. Select One Statement Piece

Choose one item that will stand out and keep everything else in you room subtle. It can be a statement chair, cupboard, cushions on the couch, a coffee table, or even one side of your wall. Whenever anyone looks at your space, that one thing should catch their eye first, so be sure that it is worth it.

3. Accents Are Bae

Vases, showpieces, clocks, teapots help the minimalist aura stay intact. These little things add a pop of colour to the room when there is sparse furniture. It is best for those who have just shifted homes or are living alone.

4. Go For Earthly Tones

Loud and bold colours look good on your lips but if it is your home, keep it simple, silly. Pastels, neutrals, and earthy shades are your best friends in this case. Grey is another option that works wonders for such designs.

5. Be Mindful Of Detailing

When designing a minimal home, keep in mind that you don’t fill it up with items that have a lot of details and textures. Stick to one element, maybe tiles or lines, but avoid mixing them together.
