To us, one of the biggest pleasures about having a private space to come home to is being able to surround ourselves with things (and people!) we love. From books to music to paintings, craftworks and action figures, passionate collectors are even willing to go so far as to prioritise their expenses around their prized collection and dedicate a special room at home to keep them with close.<\/p>

If you are the type of person who is willing to lead a simple lifestyle in efforts to compromise with your collector\u2019s habits, read on to find out how a minimalist interior design can style your home with timeless elegance in the most basic of ways.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Would you say it\u2019s the lack of colour or decors that make a minimalist living space? For us, it\u2019s a bit of both.

While this interior theme is generally applied to make small spaces appear bigger, its simple aesthetics almost never go out of style when it\u2019s applied well.<\/p>

Similar to how a Scandinavian palette works with a variety of whites, beiges and greys, a minimalist palette depends greatly on colour contrast to create visual interest in an otherwise decor-free space.<\/p>

If you\u2019re into the classic black-and-white theme, consider a series of grey, gold or silver to complete your basic palette before deciding on a coloured accent for a burst of colour. Green to replace potted plants? Blue to remind you of clear skies and coastlines? The possibilities are endless.<\/p>

Take a look at the moodboard below to inspire your day. While the basic concept of a minimalist palette may seem boring at first with the limited use of colours, you\u2019ll be surprised by how comfortable it can look when the room is gradually being put together.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Where quantity matters, don\u2019t be afraid to spend a little more and invest in quality. Instead of following market trends, take time and make the effort to find out how it suits you. How easy is it to maintain for years to come? Does it bring convenience to your lifestyle?<\/p>

Unless you don\u2019t mind dealing with frequent replacements, look beyond the price tags to make your decisions based on material use and sustainability. Although the standard minimalist interior is characterised by industrial elements such as steel and chrome in furniture and fixtures, there\u2019s no reason not to bring home the perfect wood or rattan-made decors for an added homey touch.<\/p>

While your living space should still reflect largely on your lifestyle needs, this interior theme actually celebrates the basic architectural elements by keeping it in its original forms as much as possible. This means no unnecessary altercations. If the existing kitchen space is enough to support our cooking needs, we don\u2019t need to purposely to maximise space by building extra cabinets and\/island top.<\/p>

In terms of aesthetics, feel free to bring in interesting textures but don\u2019t stray too far away from your selected palette to keep the interior look light and fuss-free. We\u2019re not saying you can\u2019t buy more than one accessory in this lifetime \u2013 if you have the proper space to store your \u2018plan B\u2019 purchases, make it a routine to swap different pieces out every few months instead of placing it all out in the open to maintain a proper ratio of white space to colour.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

To maintain this concept\u2019s cohesive look, try to stay as close as possible to your chosen colour palette. Go for circles or round curves instead of angles for a touch of softness.

Of all the interior styles available, the minimalist theme is the one that require most self-control to maintain because more than just a matter or affordability, everything needs a place and reason to stay.<\/p>

As easy as it can be to make room for new loves, we need to ask ourselves hard questions to save our space from preventable clutter.<\/p>

\u201cWhere can we put this?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cWhy do we need this?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cIs this new addition our missing centrepiece, or will it eventually turn into clutter that takes up your drawer space?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cDo we really need another set of dining wares when we already have five, and hardly have anyone over?\u201d<\/p>

From a different perspective, what this theme offers is a basic setting to enjoy life\u2019s pleasures in the most carefree way. Although we may be satisfied with living with the bare minimum, it doesn\u2019t mean that we have to embrace it without a little class and modern elegance.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
