Minimalism is the Japanese phenomenon that believes that a life stripped of material and superfluous goods is the path to happiness. Nowadays, where everything is measured by what we have and how much we have this philosophy of life does not stop winning fans. In fact, books with inspiring life testimonies of 'successful' proliferate and have left everything to begin a style of detachment, leaving space only for what is essential. Like the well-known author Fumio Sasaki in ‘Goodbye Things.
PRIVILEGING NATURAL LIGHT
In addition to the light colors, the spaces are as open as possible. The luminosity inside the house is a priority, preferably if it is natural. There are often no screens or curtains, and when they do, they are made of light and fluid fabrics.
OBJECTS REDUCED TO THE ESSENTIAL
(Iuri Niccolai)
The old maxim 'less is more' is obviously applied in this style of decoration. There is no superfluous parts, they all have to have a feature to justify their presence. A chair to sit on, a pen to write on, a lamp to light. Repetition of pieces or elements simply decorative will hardly be present in purely minimalist environments. However, Fumio Sasaki already said "I think that throwing away your material goods and your memories are two completely different actions", says Sasaki. Do not confuse the detachment of objects with non-permanence in our memories.
TAKE PART OF THE ART
(PietriArchitectes)
It is common to see in minimalist environments a great emphasis given to pieces of art, namely in the form of sculptures or pictures on the wall. They usually appear in small quantities but on a large scale. Reinforcing once again, the logic of 'less is more' valuing the quality of each element.
ORGANIZATION
(Artelabo)
As already mentioned, only the elements with functionality remain in this type of decoration, combined with the beauty and quality of the pieces. Nothing is arranged randomly and the pieces are usually of great design.
