Minimalism style began in the post-World War II era, around the  early 1960s, primarily in Western Europe and the United States. It emerged as a reaction against the highly decorative styles of previous periods, particularly in response to the excesses of the postwar consumerism and the more ornate Mid-Century styles.  The style focuses on reducing to their essentials, embracing clean lines, open spaces, and a neutral color palette.

Here's how to express your style...

The interior details of a Minimalist home are defined by its simplicity, focus on function, and elimination of excess. Spacious layouts, flat or low pitched ceilings, modular and angular details, exposed structural beams or columns, and prefabricated millwork to achieve precision and simplicity. This results in a serene and uncluttered environment where every element serves a purpose. 

Interior Finishes

Minimalist finishes aim to create a sleek, peaceful, and harmonious space. Walls are neutral paint, plaster, or bare concrete with light wood plank, large format tile, or polished concrete flooring. Counters are natural stone with little veining or sealed concrete with single tone backsplashes. Light fixtures and hardware bring some contrast with matte black or polished chrome finishes.
