Minimalist design offers a way to open up your space, with intentional choices that are thoughtfully selected for functionality and style. This is because the concept behind minimalism is a less is more theory. This is also true for colour and while this doesn’t mean everything has to be white or beige, keeping the palette simple with an accent colour will avoid visual clutter.
Modern minimalist flooring is central to this design aesthetic, helping reduce visual clutter and enhance the sense of space. Embracing simplicity, minimalist flooring is understated, using concrete, or wood with minimal grain to create a harmonious flow through the home. Visually stunning, durable, and easy to maintain, minimalist flooring combines beauty and functionality in one sleek package.
Less is more with minimalist flooring design
For minimalist flooring ideas that will work with this aesthetic, there are a range of options to choose from.
Hardwood minimalist style flooring in lighter tones with minimal grains and knots adds warmth and a natural touch to any home so colours such as Fortuna Oak in our Luxury Vinyl Plank Chesterfield 2.0 collection or Linen Gum in the Hybrid Kingswood Australis collection will look great. For a more modern minimalist look, concrete minimalist style flooring is ideal to achieve this aesthetic so Concrete in our Natural Creations EarthCuts is perfect.
To complete the look, here are some minimalist design elements to consider:
-
Instead of sharp edges, furniture with curves incorporates an effortless organic flair.
-
Connecting functionality with style is still important so a stunning light fixture above a simplistic dining table setting works well.
-
Storage solutions are ideal to eliminate mess and keep a space clean but if you are worried the interior might be too boring, try mixing textures for visual interest and movement while still keeping the home minimalistic.
