Minimalism in the interior (21 photos): modern and comfortable design of the premises

Minimalism, translated from English, means the smallest. This fully applies to the design of rooms in the style of minimalism - simplicity, conciseness and accuracy of compositions. There is no place for classics and traditional art materials. Neutral colors, natural and industrial motifs, as well as uncomplicated geometric objects come to the fore.

It is worth remembering that minimalism in the interior has its own characteristics, which are not suitable for everyone.

The main features of minimalism

• Multilevel lighting and zoning of the space.
• Light colors in the design of rooms with a predominance of pure white, favorably complemented by gray or black. Sometimes brick or wood color is also used.
• Raw natural materials with a rough texture: white plaster, concrete, brick or classic wood.
• Large windows (of course, not in Khrushchev) or lighting that fills the space with light.
• Geometric objects and ornaments: rectangles, straight paintings or circles in white - no spirals.
• Minimum number of accessories and furniture. As the latter, designers are advised to use the built-in Scandinavian set, as well as small-sized furniture with aluminum profiles, made of natural wood, with the presence of chrome, leather or glass parts. At the same time, the upholstery, like the wallpaper, should be one-color with bright contrasting elements characteristic of the rooms in the Art Nouveau style.

Living room

Minimalism in the interior of the living room is, first of all, the modeling of light and space. The modern interior design project itself looks something like this:

• redevelopment of the living room;
• the choice of a luxurious color palette;
• unique lighting created, for example, in Khrushchev;
• the use of simple but clear geometric shapes for the premises.

It is best to start the design of the living room in the style of minimalism with the dismantling of internal partitions. Usually, in order to expand the space of a small room, it is connected to the kitchen or hallway. As a decoration for the living room use only light shades or an exceptionally soft white color. The walls of the premises are often papered with liquid wallpaper, painted or covered with Venetian plaster. Scandinavian parquet with a simple pattern or wood laminate looks great on the floor. In general, this style of interior in the living room allows the presence of no more than five shades in the project - for example, soft blue, black-gray or red.

Another no less significant features without which the minimalism style in the interior is impossible - emphasis on contrasts. For this, various decor items are suitable, but the furniture and doors should have sharp corners and straight lines. In the minimalist style, as a rule, preference is given to luxurious upholstered furniture. It is best to choose a sofa or chairs with hard armrests made of wood, cubic or rectangular. In this case, glass accessories, unusual doors, shelves and shelves look very impressive. The main thing is to remember that the design takes shape in strict geometry configurations: squares in white, parallelepipeds, right angles and lines, parallels, perpendiculars, etc. A project with transformers will be quite appropriate.

If we talk about home decor, then it should be present in a minimal amount, in other words, one thing: a sculpture, a black and white vase or a picture.

Special attention in minimalism deserves coverage. Light is mounted cozy, calm and soft, and also use halogen lamps on shelves, in niches or in the ceiling. The windows do not close with too dense volumetric curtains. The best option is a transparent Scandinavian tulle.

Kitchen

Most of all, the interior of the apartment in the style of minimalism, especially a similar kitchen, is suitable for those who love perfect cleanliness and order. In addition, you can profitably and most importantly, without problems, “enter” a project of such a small-sized kitchen into a studio apartment, the dining area of ​​which does not attract special attention. Only doors, flat surfaces and large objects remain in sight.

The kitchen can be decorated using a variety of materials: cork, natural stone, red brick, plastic, wood panels, frosted glass, chrome steel and aluminum profiles.

Many designers also advise dividing the kitchen into three main zones. Here is a sample description:

• the passage area, which allows residents to freely move around the kitchen;
• working - they prepare food and store food here;
• the presence of a functional dining room, where there is only one large Scandinavian table or bar.

As mentioned above, minimalism in the interior of the house does not allow unnecessary patterns and decor. The kitchen is decorated with textured plain wallpaper or simply plastered. For the decoration of the floor using a cozy natural stone, laminate or black and gray parquet. The kitchen set, like the wall, should have a discreet design without elaborate elements. The ideal solution in this case is a long gray row of cabinets with a solid surface and a continuous working area.

To visually expand the space, you can use a technique such as a white top and a beautiful, dark bottom of the headset.

A prerequisite for the style of minimalism is a kitchen with large windows that close the blinds, light curtains or Roman curtains.

Bedroom

The bedroom in the style of minimalism is again the creation of the maximum amount of light, air and space. The design is designed so as not to focus on unnecessary items. Often they use a hidden and carefully thought-out storage system: podiums with drawers or beautiful built-in wardrobes. Walls and ceilings are performed in traditional shades of minimalism: white in combination with lilac, beige, gray. In addition, you can completely remove the white color to get a cozy version of two cold tones (brown-beige wall, wenge-gray, etc.), with the help of which the main surfaces of a small room are decorated. The original accent will be the use of a third, bright color (red, bright orange or purple) - they are distinguished by individual design elements: curtains, accessories, doors, wallpapers, etc.

For wall decoration, paint, textured plaster or light smooth wallpaper are used. All surfaces must be uniform, including ceiling and floor. In this case, any flooring is chosen: a bright laminate, beautiful parquet or a low-key gray carpet. As for the ceiling, it is usually made of drywall with spotlights around the perimeter of the house. But various artsy paintings, white stucco molding, bas-reliefs and other features in minimalism are not allowed.

Zoning a bedroom in Khrushchev is possible with the help of mirror screens. Windows are decorated using curtains or blinds. But the main role in the interior of such a room is played by the bed. It is complemented by a platform, a bright canopy or a podium. The furniture is again presented in a minimal amount - one, two shelves, paintings, a wardrobe and a small table. The whole design has smooth surfaces and crisp shapes.

Bathroom

Modern minimalism in the bathroom is relevant with its small size. The interior design is carried out so that the room seemed empty and not overloaded with extra toiletries. Here you should give preference to wear-resistant materials (only the best of them) that will fill the bathroom with special chic and originality: white tiles, marble, smooth limestone, washable wallpaper, polymers or granite.

The color scheme, as before, is very limited. This is a white color, complemented by bright color accents - towels, bath curtains, paintings or blinds in saturated colors.

Plumbing equipment in Khrushchev (and not only) should be no less original: bizarre-shaped radiators, a modern cabinet or fittings. It is not bad to use a hanging sink or toilet bowl to decorate the bathroom, which visually expand the space.

The lighting of the house is made dim, a little dim - lamps on the ceiling of the room or installed in special niches.
