Maybe you\u2019ve long had visions of coming home from a busy day of work and relaxing in your\u00a0minimalist home<\/strong><\/a>, but just don\u2019t know where to begin when it comes to achieving this goal. Designers prove that it is more than possible to slowly but surely embrace a minimalist interior design<\/strong><\/em><\/span>, and lucky for us, provided 8 actionable steps to incorporate a bit of simplicity into their homes. Let\u2019s take a look!<\/p>\n

01. Select Furniture Pieces That Serve Double Duty<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n

Minimalist homes certainly aren\u2019t packed with furniture<\/strong><\/a>, and pieces that do make the cut will therefore need to be ultra-utilitarian. Ottomans\u00a0with lidded storage make for excellent seating options when guests stop by while also serving as side tables or footrests. Meanwhile, items such as throw blankets can easily be tossed inside for safekeeping. Galloway also appreciates\u00a0console\u00a0tables<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0that can easily turn into desks.<\/p>\n

02. Include Green Friends and Natural Elements<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n

Plants are more than welcome in minimalist spaces<\/strong><\/a>, so if you can\u2019t live without your green friends, don\u2019t worry\u2014they will shine in your new, pared-down home. \u201cPlants are an easy way to accessorize a room without adding more d\u00e9cor or furniture<\/strong><\/a> that could take away from the minimalist impact,\u201d Galloway notes.<\/p>\n

03. Clear Out Clutter<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n

Cutting the clutter is, of course, an essential step for those looking to embrace minimalist interior design<\/strong><\/a>. This pertains to more than just home d\u00e9cor<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. Stay mindful about parting with clothing items, beauty supplies, and kitchenware that is simply taking up space. Plus, saying goodbye to excess belongings can result in major feelings of accomplishment.<\/p>\n

04. Embrace the \u201cOne In, One Out\u201d Rule<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>
TRUE HOME<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You\u2019ve likely heard your friends who are small space dwellers praise the \u201cone in, one out\u201d rule, and it\u2019s a key lesson to live by if you seek a more minimalist home<\/strong><\/a>. For example, every time you bring home a new pair of shoes, an older one has to be added to the\u00a0donation pile\u00a0(or tossed if it\u2019s truly seen better days).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

05. Mindfully Add Accessories<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n

On a related note, there\u2019s no need to display accent pieces just for the heck of it, and our designers<\/strong><\/a> agree\u2014Smith advises that you shouldn\u2019t be afraid of empty walls. There are other ways to incorporate accent pieces<\/strong> <\/a>into your home that are both aesthetically pleasing\u00a0and\u00a0<\/em>functional.<\/p>\n

06. Remember the Power of Lighting<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t plan to rely solely on overhead fixtures in your space; make sure to stock up on\u00a0table lamps and task lamps<\/strong><\/a> as well. Keep drapery nice and airy; a minimalist home<\/strong><\/em><\/a> is not the place for ultra-thick, ornate, or bold colored curtains.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

07. Keep It Simple<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n

When selecting pieces for a minimalist design<\/strong><\/a>, Galloway finds herself prioritizing simple shapes and neutral\u00a0monochromatic colors. \u201cBoth are visually pleasing without being too busy, but add great interest and warmth into a space,\u201d she notes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Last but not least, remember that like all design projects<\/strong><\/a>, no minimalist space is going to come together immediately. \u201cCreating a minimalist home<\/strong><\/em><\/a> doesn\u2019t have to be achieved overnight,\u201d Smith says. \u201cThink of it as more of a process.\u201d<\/p>\n
