Furniture: With the variety of options available in today’s marketplace, it’s easy to get lost while choosing the right furniture. With a minimalist design, it is wise to downplay the furniture and choose something that is simple in design. Furniture and accessories used in minimalist interior design basically focus on functionality and practicality.

Flat, smooth surfaces and clean lines create bold statements which emphasize the essential nature of each element. There is no use of highly patterned furnishings and accessories or highly detailed ornamentation. Instead, the focus should be on the purity and simplicity of the shape and form. Remove the furnishings or the elements that are not in use. 

Clear and clean benches or surfaces, bare walls with minimal artwork, and the overall elimination of clutter pave the way towards creating minimalist decor. Opt for one or two indoor plants to give the space a fresh and airy look.

Colour palette:  In a minimalist color palette a monochromatic color scheme of white, beige, and grey is typically used. This trend looks to reduce forms and colors to their simplest states and helps in creating elegant spaces.  Basically, the color palette comprises light and soft natural shades such as cold and warm greys softened by Aquas and nude tones. The usage of this color scheme brings a ray of warmth to the space, by mixing textures and incorporating different shades.

Textiles add texture which also gives warmth to a space. Drapery, throw pillows, cushions, upholstered furniture, and area rugs of different textiles such as linen, wool, and cotton are just a few examples of how warmth and comfort can be added to the room or space, maintaining a minimalist style.
