Minimalism was born in the 60’s as a response to the colorful explosion of Pop art, although it was not until the 70’s that it began to be widely used and to reach its maturity. The search for an austere style with neutral tones and wider spaces brought about this movement. The first to coin this term was Wollheim and the famous expression “Less is more” by Mies Van der Rohe is to this day the motto that defines this movement.
To this day minimalist houses and this type of interiors are still very sought after. If you are looking for a sober and balanced place where you can find tranquility when working or resting, this style is for you! In Constructora Viñas we are specialists in design houses and today we talk about minimalist houses.

-
Keep proportions in mind
To furnish a minimalist style house, it is not enough to choose furniture with simple lines and colors, you also have to take into account its size.
Furniture that is too large will take up all the space in a small bedroom and will give a feeling of suffocation that has nothing to do with the idea of well-being that minimalist furniture should instill.
-
Prefer neutral colors
For a perfect minimalist home you have to pay close attention to the choice of colors for floors, walls and furniture.
Forget bright colors, flashy prints and bold combinations. Choose soft, neutral colors, such as classic black and white or beige, as well as earthy browns and shades of green and blue.
The important thing is that the chosen color scheme instills a sense of order, calm and relaxation in the viewer.
-
Choose the right materials
Like the colors, the choice of materials should not create chaos and confusion, so you should limit yourself to choosing a few and, above all, make sure that they combine well with each other and with the environment in which they are placed.
White marble for floors and light wood for furniture are two of the most suitable materials to furnish your minimalist home to perfection.
-
Pay attention to lighting
Illuminating a room with natural light makes it more beautiful, livable and relaxing. As for the points of light, whether chandeliers, wall or floor lamps, they should be characterized by extreme simplicity, have elegant lines and linear shapes.
