Here are 5 tips to create a more minimalistic room:
1. Cut the Clutter
Let’s start with a must-do, regardless of the design style you envision – you should start by clearing your bedroom of any and all clutter. Having an excessive amount of stuff around us has a slew of adverse side effects. For one, the number of stimuli surrounding you bombards your mind, and the last time of day you want your thoughts racing is right before bed. In general, clutter makes it hard for us to relax, too.
2. Rethink Your Bed Set-Up
One of the most significant aspects of minimalist design is that it opens up space you never thought you could use before. If you’re currently inhabiting a small studio, apartment or house, then, a simpler bedroom design would help you take advantage of your square footage.
3. Choose Neutral Hues
We touched on the discord that clashing colors can cause. Fortunately, you’ll have a hard time making a mess of your minimalist bedroom’s color scheme. That’s because this design style requires a neutral palette of colors, and that’s easy to put together, whether you’re skilled at design or new to the practice.
4. Add Accessories Wisely
Bedroom walls covered in bright paint is just as eye-catching as ones with portraits and paintings all over them. Reduce the visual noise by choosing a single piece of art that you love and hanging only that on your walls. Bonus points if the work you select sports a soothing color palette and image.
5. Welcome the Natural Light
With as little furniture and as few accessories as possible, natural light will become a big player in the look and feel of your bedroom. So, take down any heavy curtains – you can keep sheer panels – and let the light stream in during the day. The sun’s rays will warm up your space and make it appear even more open and airy than it already looks.
