Let's talk about minimalism?

We will touch on the theme, which is connected with the last style - minimalism. What is typical for him, where did he come from, what factors influenced his popularity? We will also consider some design options with photos showing the result of applying the style to decorating the living space, as well as some other interesting moments.

A bit of history

This is a relatively young style - its origin occurs in the first half of the XX century, even in the postmodern era, and already in the second half of the century it manifests itself brightly, almost the most leading style. At a turning point, when the previous direction began to lose its popularity and the general desire of people to make their homes more functional against the backdrop of technological progress, minimalism was a natural solution. The territory of its origin is Europe. It is so strange and interesting that it is this part of the world that gave the mankind a fancy (in a good sense of the word) antique style and its heir - the Renaissance, or gloomy Gothic style, as a result, spreads a new, absolutely opposite in all points, minimalism. And the impetus for the emergence of such trends was given by the company Braun, which has since spread the minimalist aesthetics in the environment of household appliances.

Why do many people like minimalism or its characteristics?

The first thing that comes to mind when the word "minimalism" is simplicity and practicality. It is unequivocal that people who do not show special enthusiasm from useless in practical sense of paintings in massive ornamental frames, from huge beds with carved backs, in general from openwork and a lot of decorative ornate "lotions", they will turn to this style.

Simplicity

Here, the use of patterns and decor, detailing of finishes is not welcome. But this is not a strict indication, of course. The main thing is that everything should be matched to the place. Monochrome and naturalness of textures are several features characteristic of the style in question. But we do not confuse simplicity with asceticism. Everything that is done simply must still be cozy, comfortable and beautiful. Many examples of rooms made in this style are simply breathtaking.

Organization of space

By whatever means, but the maximum space in the room is achieved. The partitions that divide the apartment into rooms are cleaned, but instead one large room is divided into zones using:

• Furniture;
• Decoration with light;
• Various color solutions.

In addition, all the doors are removed, and instead of them, arches are used; If possible, the windows expand; The partitions are made of glass. In general, everything is done to get rid of unnecessary "eaters" of free space and to achieve the maximum space of living space. As a result, the walls do not press on the occupants of the house, and the apartment beckons to return to it again and again.

Functionality

Every thing should be useful to its owner, occupy a certain place, and it's good if these things are few and they do not overload the premises. It is preferable to hide small details from looking in closed boxes or to select them in such a way that they look favorably in the overall concept. In addition, absolutely everything must be combined in color. This high art in design is perfect simplicity, and achieving it is not as easy as it seems at first glance.

Colour

The main color for the interior design in this style is white, sometimes other very light shades are used. So perfectly stands out and highlights any of the subject lines. Except white, one or two colors can be used - black, gray, some shade of brown, other representatives of a bright palette - purple, light green. A wide range of colors is not about minimalism; But do not think about it as a sterile and soft. Here, too, unusual notes are permissible.

Materials

For individual parts of the room, it is recommended to finish as follows. For walls, you can use wallpaper, which does not have all kinds of drawings. Just - monochrome, light tone. But the main are the options for painting or coating the walls with textured plaster. To the design of the ceiling, there are also certain requirements - it must be light, besides, if there is an idea to make an interesting highlight in the plans, you can diversify it with a multi-level design. Tile, linoleum, any wood covering of light color and monotonous type is a list of what it is possible to lay the sex space. The choice of furniture should be approached, taking into account three parameters: it is desirable that they were built-in headsets; Materials - natural wood, leather, with profiles of aluminum, glass, leather or chrome inlays; Monochrome color with prominent contrasting details. Of course, such a layout can significantly damage your wallet, but do not get upset. There is no ban on using materials easier and cheaper, most importantly - to achieve comfort, freeing up maximum space and high functionality of the interior.

Where can I apply the design

This style is suitable for any room. Bedroom, kitchen, living room - in the minimalist style everything can look impressive. The main thing is that the inherent characteristics, listed above, were close in spirit to the future owner. And the kitchen in the style of minimalism will be guaranteed cozy for those housewives who are scrupulous about order and cleanliness. After all, everything will contribute to it. Here are a few options for what the kitchen design looks like in minimalism style.

Examples of works in the style of minimalism

Option for a large room in the kitchen. As mentioned above, the decoration is done in white tones, everywhere there are clear straight contours, the furniture is built-in, and there are no hints of something sticking out and incongruously sticking out. The space is increased due to the lack of a wall between the kitchen and the next room. If you want to separate these two rooms, a dark curtain of a contrasting color will take care of it, if necessary .

The same option as above, with a difference only in color design. Here cream colors are added, which makes the interior a bit softer than just a cold white. The style of minimalism is clearly expressed in such detail as a cube in the center of the kitchen. When examined in detail, it turns out to be a multi-functional kitchen cabinet in which you can store almost all the necessary utensils.

The next version of the kitchen in the style of minimalism is the design of a small kitchen. Significantly increases the space that is actually merging with the adjacent room, there is a large window contrasting to the overall finish of the color, and also a special ceiling. The design applied in this case creates the effect of a high or even deep ceiling. There is a visual illusion based on the difference between the lower and upper boundaries of the design, based on this, and it seems that the ceiling is slightly higher than it actually is. A deep black square in which a cooker with a cooker hood is placed, thanks to its contrasting hue against the general background, stands out in a separate zone.

The best that can be done to increase the space of the kitchen is to combine it with another room. If the living space as a whole is small, the option is to completely remove the walls as far as possible (in the walls of the carriers one can make an arch). Of course, to live on thirty squares of continuous unrequited space to a family with three children will be uncomfortable (although here it can be argued - everything is in the open space, everyone can see everything under Mother's strict supervision), but still the kitchen interior (minimalism style) will be good For one or for a couple of people.

A version of the kitchen in the style of minimalism, the photo of which is placed above, is realized with the use of a bright color in the interior. Here we see a kind of decoration, but it does not completely destroy the style, but perfectly complements it. For a man keen on cooking beyond measure, this is just a wonderful option. In the boxes of furniture available you can put any household appliances and a huge number of different utensils. At the same time everything will be in its place, everything will be hidden from the eyes of outsiders, as his majesty minimalism demands.

The interior of the kitchen in the style of minimalism, the photo of which is placed above, is a characteristic variant, executed with observance of all possible requirements. All the space is color-coded, only white and a shade of dark wood are applied, the furniture is also characteristic for this style. This room requires constant maintenance of the order, if you want the interior for a long time to remain appropriate.

Above is a wonderful version of the kitchen in the style of minimalism. The photo shows a contrasting design in two colors, where two elements stand out: a white hood on the background of a black wall and ovens on a white background. A perfect addition in the form of an unusual form of suspension and small household appliances on white open shelves, matched in black.

In the photo above - the classic minimalism: the clarity of the contours of furniture without unnecessary details, contrasting color design, huge glazed doorway. The unusual interior is a neatly done illumination of the working area, as well as a partially glazed ceiling. The huge windows give light, which visually turns the kitchen into a huge free space. The design of the kitchen in the minimalist style, the photo of which is given above, should take into account the presence of a gap between the wall and the glass ceiling cover, intended for the curtain. It can be unsafe for children, animals, and for an adult can become a traumatic element of design.
