For true minimalists whose love for little clutter goes beyond the furniture in the minimalist living room, consider a minimalist architectural style for designing the interior of the living room during construction or remodeling. This can be achieved by applying the minimalist approach to crown moldings and fixtures such as ceiling fans, chandeliers and other lighting elements.
Pairing the architecture with the right colors in the minimalist living room is important to the overall design. Colors such as white and brown are common for minimalist designs. Adding a bit of color can help in brightening up the space tremendously, especially accents of red, burnt orange and similar colors. White is usually a great color to use on the living room walls, while brown is ideal for the frame and floor areas. This helps to keep the room from looking stiff and boring. Red may be integrated in modern furniture pieces such as a sofa or table, and for wall hangings with symmetrical shapes. The minimalist style is common in most urban areas where the focus on living spaces is usually about functionality and not so much on design. In addition, the minimalist design is often used in city apartments that tend to be narrow and have very little square footage. A minimalist design is usually neat and clean. Does the minimalist design style appeal to you? Do you plan to use this design for your living room or another room in the house?
