A keen command of balance, proportion and other basics<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen a space doesn\u2019t have a lot of actual items in it, you have to be even more strict with basic design rules like balance, proportion and harmony. Furniture should all be in proportion with itself \u2014 meaning nothing sticks out as too big or too small. The visual weight of a room should be balanced (meaning one side doesn\u2019t feel too much \u201cheavier\u201d than any other side). There should be harmony among your furnishings; not everything has to \u201cmatch\u201d but they should complement and coordinate. And of course, if you are going to add something too big or too small for dramatic effect \u2014 go either really big or really small to exaggerate that you\u2019re doing something intentional.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>What differentiates a truly stunning, minimally designed interior from one that\u2019s just not full of a lot of stuff? From a room that\u2019s sophisticated and rich rather than plain and boring? Creating simple spaces isn\u2019t hard, but it does require a particular balance of key design ingredients to make the right minimal mix.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>2. Quality over quantity<\/strong><br \/>\nAgain, when you\u2019re aiming for a minimal interior space, you\u2019re going to want to splurge when you can on high-quality and well-made pieces, since you\u2019re not just trying to fit as much into a room as you can. Pieces that are unique finds \u2014 not just straight from a catalog.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> <strong>In the details<\/strong><br \/>\nDetails \u2014 small touches and designs on elements in the room \u2014 are important when you\u2019re aiming for a simple space. Maybe it\u2019s a gold-leafed edge of a frame. A embroidered element on a pillow. Something you don\u2019t notice at first glance in a room, but something that adds to the richness without adding to clutter. And a variety of textures continues to be an important element in minimal spaces for this very reason.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Neutral, calming palettes with earth tones<\/strong><br \/>\nThis could easily be disputed, as there have of course been simple, minimal spaces that rocked color. But on the whole, when you\u2019re aiming for a truly spectacular minimal environment, stick to neutral colors and those that show up in nature for an easy, sophisticated space.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Light plays a huge part<\/strong><br \/>\nIn minimal spaces, light becomes as an important element as the larger furniture purchases. Know when your light comes into your home and how it presents itself. Use window treatments to direct it how you want. And that\u2019s just with natural light. As with the first suggestion, splurging on just one spectacular light fixture can set the tone for an entire simple space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
