The origin of the minimal style

Far from the forms of chaos and confusion, the minimal style is linked to the simple life, far from the often excessive form.

The word derives from the English minimal and indicates essentiality and practicality. The term was first used in 1965 by the English philosopher Richard Wollheim in Arts Magazine. Indeed, he wanted to express the concept of minimization to give importance to the essential elements.

Where to start to define a minimal style

For a simple house made up of many large spaces, you can refer to different variations of minimalism to customize the environment around us according to your taste. At the base there must be a concept of simplicity, which means finding simple and minimally invasive elements in order to make the rooms more orderly, and bright and encourage the creation of open spaces, for a sense of greater hospitality.

The lines must therefore be sharp and clean. The choice of materials to furnish a minimalist home also becomes important, i.e. everything that is smooth to the touch and capable of creating visual continuity.

Wood, for example, is the perfect element for a minimal home because in its simplicity it conveys a feeling of unique warmth. Glass and metal are also perfect because they are smooth and bright. For fabrics, on the other hand, softness and geometric lines are better.

It is necessary to opt for:

• Innovative materials
• Linear and simple forms
• Sober colors
• Geometric shapes
• Large spaces
• Few decorations
