For those of you obsessed with this clean, elegant style.
Occasionally misunderstood as cold or just plain boring, minimalist interior design is anything but. With its emphasis on paring back the clutter and ornamentation for a home that’s sleek and functional, it’s no wonder that many homeowners swear by it.
While it might seem easy to the untrained eye, pulling off a minimalist home involves a lot more design thought and creativity than you’d expect. Understanding the relevant design principles to achieve the right balance of aesthetics, comfort and function is key, or you could end up with a dull and uninviting space instead.
If you’re on the lookout for someone who can help you with that, we’ve put together this list of 8 interior design firms to give you a headstart!
