Most decorators traditionally recommend a minimalist décor for many spaces, particularly small spaces such as apartments and guest houses. Unfortunately, many people believe that this means that the walls should be kept completely bare for a minimalist decor to work. Aren’t pictures too flashy for a minimalist decor?

Art Prints: Perfect Complement to a Minimalist Decor

In a word: no, pictures are not too flashy to use with a minimalist décor. In a few more words: art prints are not too flashy for a minimalist décor, as long as you select your prints carefully. In fact, in rooms with minimalist decor, art prints add character and highlight the fact that the decor really is minimalist and not just neglected.

The trick with choosing art prints carefully is just to pick one print, or pick a few prints on a highly related subject or in a similar style, preferably all by the same artist. In a room with minimalist décor, the prints will easily get more attention than anything else in the room, so you want to be careful that the prints do not conflict with each other. An obvious example: if you really like Monet’s paintings of water lilies, you could get several prints each of a different Monet painting of water lilies.

There is a special concern if your décor is not just minimalist but strikingly modernist (for instance, lots of simple furniture with clear angles or curves rather than carved woodwork). In a room with a particularly modernist décor, prints that are from an earlier era might seem out of place. Go with prints that were created more or less in the era in which your furniture was designed, or in which your furniture’s design was most popular.

Introduction

I used to be both intensely materialistic and a habitual hoarder! Things would just appear in my flat and stay there for months upon end. Not only that, but much of it would hold no use in my daily life. It would either be transferred from one place to another or just serve to take more of my attention from the areas of life I enjoy.

It almost felt as though the clutter that surrounded me gave off a negative energy that would decrease my motivation and eat away at my levels of productivity. The external state of my flat certainly had a detrimental effect on my internal state of mind.

Homes with a minimalistic look are basically a trend these days. Before, these types of homes were usually reserved for single people who entertained a lot in their homes and worked most of the day. The minimalistic look did not usually go well with children and a big family. These days, interior designs for families and the minimalistic look can go hand in hand. One of the main factors to achieving interior designs with a homey look for the minimalistic style is the kind of home furnishings that are used.
