I have a lot of things, including big-sized items, and I still want to live in minimalistic interior. How I can combine that?
Based on your needs, we can explore several solutions to help you organize your belongings:
- We can create a special storage room or storage area, hidden or displayed, to declutter the living space from rarely used items. Those areas can be built-in wardrobes, standing alone or in a storage room, standard size or individual, with inner sections suitable for specifics.
- We can shop for furniture with hidden storage spaces, such as closed or open facades, to seamlessly integrate storage while complementing the overall aesthetic.
- If needed, we can help design unique, individual furniture pieces tailored to your specific needs, especially if you have a small space that you want to use efficiently.
Will my interior be cozy if I made it in the minimalist style?
Due to the fact that Minimalism is a very unusual style, limited in means of expression, the main moods are created in it with the help of contrasts. So if we want to create a feeling of comfort, then our task is to create a contrast between a cozy place and the rest of the room. This is how we are arranged as people, that it is easier for us to evaluate something if we have something to compare with. So we can use this effect to create coziness.
For example, in a large spacious room with a stone floor, putting a white fluffy carpet in the corner near the bookcase, putting a plump armchair and a small floor lamp with a pleasant warm light that contrasts with the rest of the neutral environment. Once in such a room, you simply cannot resist flopping into such an armchair in a cozy corner and reading an interesting book.
If we use natural materials (wood, wool, and cotton), warm lighting, minimalistic decorations, and soft textures, and combine that with stone textures and clear surfaces in interiors, we can create unique, welcoming, and cozy spaces.
