Minimalism is a trend that is causing a stir in the home design industry. When done right, a minimalistic living room creates a clean and calming space without it necessarily being boring. A minimalist interior design is about omitting unnecessary details, focusing on more information, and embracing empty space. The rule of thumb for this style is thoughtful curation and clutter-free spaces. Evaluate everything that is in your living room and determine which items are essential for the room. When it comes to minimalism, size and scale are of importance. Regardless of the available area, don’t be afraid to play with scale in the layout. Mix and match different furniture sizes and accessories to create more depth to the living room.

In minimalist spaces, furniture is king. Each item needs to make a strong contribution to the room and communicate a sense of personal style. Clean-lined and sleek furniture fosters class and elegance to the space. The market is choke-full of furniture pieces that can be a daunting task for a homeowner to choose one over the other. Needless to say, Muuto furniture online store is a great resource point for innovative and dynamic furniture that provides new perspectives on Nordic design. Muuto offers a catalog that displays a range of items from furniture, lighting, and home accessories. Choose the furniture wisely as less is often more. This means you can budget for more expensive pieces that would otherwise not be in the space.

Ways to create a minimalistic space

Lighting is an essential element of the minimalistic design style. Allowing natural light to fill the living room will give life to the space. Minimalist homes have open spaces that seamlessly blend the rooms and maximize natural light. Minimalism calls for flat, sharp, and clean surfaces that easily reflect light and make a room feel more spacious. It’s paramount to embrace clean lines such as clear tops and furniture with clean lines. Without unnecessary clutter, there’s more room for furniture and decor to breathe.

Color and texture help to spruce up the room without being overly excessive. A monochromatic palette rules when it comes to the decor sticking to neutral tones that will reflect light and keep the space from feeling cluttered or shadowy. Keeping the walls neutral and allows ample space to highlight each piece and ensure it has some breathing room. For a pop of color to break the monotony, try to incorporate an accent wall with a solid color to create an inviting feeling to the space. Texture and tones can be added through various organic materials such as carpets, rugs, curtains, and furniture upholstery. You can try to make things interesting by mixing and matching different textures without going overboard.


It goes without saying that minimalism has got a lot to do with keeping clutter to a minimum. Every surface should be completely cleared of items with everything stored out of sight. Over the years, we collect different items that tend to accumulate within our living room area. This means a storage solution is key especially for small spaces. Modern homes use vertical spaces to place floating shelves to provide more storage space to tuck ways knickknacks in a stylish manner. The most important thing is making sure everything stays contained.
