How to pull off cozy minimalism: A perfect blend of cozy & minimal styles

1. Make your Cozy Minimalist Living Room Breathe by Opening it Up

Minimalist Living room design is all about using what your living space offers and highlighting the beauty of the interior and exterior. It celebrates the architectural details of your homes by designing around them rather than concealing them.
 

For instance, using an arch as an accent by painting it with a bold colour can add an interesting detail to an otherwise ordinary room. If a room has a lovely view, a window can be added or made larger and more stylish to frame the view, making it the focal point of the room. By framing the window with thick drapery in neutral tones, the room can be made to feel much cosier.

For instance, use simple wooden furniture and pair it with an alluring, patterned upholstery and a quilted carpet on the wall for an interesting décor detail. Stick to simple complementary shades and add unexpected prints and patterns with ample negative space to keep it fuss-free. An abundance of layered textures in the seating spaces and soft ambient lighting from tall modern lamps will make the room more interesting as well as warm and cosy.
 

On the other hand, a startling sculpture or a beautiful lamp may blend in with the rest of the home décor, yet be interesting enough to warrant a second look.

4. Let the Walls of your Modern Minimalist Interior Design Speak Out 

In a minimalist décor, even the walls are never overcrowded. Instead of picking a number of plates or frames to hang on the wall, stick to one or two exceptional pieces and let it shine. If the artwork is the star of the décor, make sure that it is a piece that draws the eye.

 

5. Accessorize, Accessorize, Accessorize for a Gorgeous Minimalist Living Room

When going minimal, it is important to invest in quality décor as each piece has to stand out. Get classic pieces that may be expensive but will stand the test of time rather than trendy pieces that will go out of fashion soon. Though you have to keep the pieces to a bare minimum, the trick is to swap them out from season to season to ensure that there is always something new to catch the eye or a new interesting addition to the collection.
 

It could be something as small as a simple figurine, or something larger and more eye-catching like the sofa covers or the carpet. You could even subtly change the colour scheme of the room by changing the flowers in the vases and the artwork on the wall.

Using interesting floor and table lamps around the living space to provide soft, ambient lighting can radiate a feeling of warmth into stark spaces and create a cosy atmosphere.

7. Comfort is the Key for a Cozy Interior Design

At the end of the day, a home, whether minimalist or traditional, needs to be a place that one can come home to and relax in. Minimalist design can make lifestyles stress free as it is easy to maintain and provides an efficient use of space. By using comfort as the partner of this functionality, living spaces that are inviting and cosy can be created. It is all about making the right choice.

For instance, a long, sectional that takes up minimal space and has a chaise that opens up for storage is functional but if it is also plush, soft and upholstered in a beautifully textured fabric, it becomes a beautiful piece of furniture as well as the snuggest spot in your home.
