Less Is More

With every minimalist living room decor selection, you won’t see the room filled with unessential pieces and the overall goal is to do more with less, so include things such as books, diffusers, lamps and possibly an ornament or two strategically placed on furniture. With minimalist living room decor, you want to pick pieces that make sense in the room so they might complement the wall colour or a complementary accent addition.

Hide The Mess

Minimalism means that clutter, mess and having all your belongings on display are not welcome. Efficient storage solutions can help you take the necessary steps in curating the cleanest decor. Hiding the mess in closed storage so it’s out of sight but also has all your necessities to hand. Keep accessories out that hold sentimental value; go with the theme and give some different texture and shape to the room.

Group or Solo

Creating focal points in a minimalist living room is key and could be any part of the room, such as the sofa with an array of sofa cushion covers or a piece of art on the wall and you can decide to group all the decorations together or you can spread them around so they all of their moment. 

Grouping things together can make the room feel more centred and allow space to shine while having solo pieces have their moment gives a scattered vibe. Both can be minimalist living room decor designs so this choice is based on what you prefer and what furniture and decor pieces you currently have.

If you aren’t looking to group your pieces, you need to get familiar with the idea of embracing negative space, which is essentially open space. Leaving ample empty space can make a room feel bigger but also allow natural light to flood in.

Colour Scheme

Colour is a very important element of minimalist living room decor and sets the tone for the rest of the room. Deciding on decor should come from what colour is painted on the wall and through that, you should pick 3 or 4 accents to complement and, at the same time, stay close to the palette. This will ensure that it all flows nicely and there isn’t overwhelming or that any point is extremely eye-catching. 

Popular colours used modernly are beige, stone, natural, light browns, sage greens and other soft neutral tones that leave you with a blank canvas and many routes to go down with your minimalist living room decor.

Prioritising Functionality

The reason why people tend to choose minimalist living room decor in comparison to bright, in-your-face maximalism is that they prioritise objects and pieces that provide value and functionality to their lives. So that’s what decor usually looks like: candles, diffusers, faux coffee table books that double up as extra storage, and the occasional vase and ornament.

These functional pieces keep the room looking clean and not to mention, they make those deep cleaning days much simpler and easier.
