If you’re looking to update your living space, then you might well be considering modern minimalist interior design. A contemporary way to decorate your home, minimalism is all about clean lines, neutral tones and purposeful design. Get it right, and you’ll end up with a serene, stylish home.
Sounds appealing? Read on to discover the key design principles and the home décor accessories from Knot Home that will help you achieve the clutter-free look you crave.
Build on a Neutral Foundation
Minimalist home décor starts with a clean slate. Choose neutral tones for your base – versatile shades of white, beige, grey and taupe. Not only will they help your room feel airier and more spacious, but they’ll also pair perfectly with any accent colours that you might want to introduce later, giving you plenty of options when it comes to accessories.
At Knot Home, you’ll find a variety of carpets and rugs to establish a neutral backdrop, from narrow runners to larger area rugs.
Stick to the Essentials
Minimalist living room essentials are just that: essential. So think about how much furniture you actually really need to maintain a pared-back aesthetic. It might be that a sofa, a clean-lined coffee table and an armchair or two are enough to furnish your living room.
Keeping furniture pieces to a minimum means that you can layer on luxury accessories such as Knot Home’s velvet cushions while still maintaining the overall aesthetic.
Choose Fewer, Better Accessories
Embracing simple, modern decor is not about being cold or spartan. Once you’ve created a clean-lined, neutral base, it’s time to add a few carefully chosen accessories to bring your interior to life. Here are our favourite minimal home accents:
- Candle holders make elegant accessories in their own right, and you’ll love the glow of candlelight in the evening.
- Glass vases and ceramic vases let you showcase a little of your style personality while providing a focal point on a bookshelf or coffee table.
- Our resin bowl is a great option for injecting a pop of colour while maintaining a minimalist feel.
- Clutter is the enemy of minimalist home décor, so introduce decorative canisters and boxes that do double duty: providing visual interest while hiding away small items.
The trick is to stick to one or two accent colours for a unified feel, and to choose fuss-free silhouettes to echo the rest of your décor.
Conclusion
Designing a modern minimalist home doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice accessories. In fact, the right decor accessories will pull your room together and strengthen the overall look and feel of your décor. At Knot Home, you’ll find simple but striking accessories that make all the difference, from architectural vases to candle holders that combine form and function.
