​Tips For Start The Year as A Minimalist | Modern Furniture & Techniques

Get to know how models like the Le Corbusier sofa and techniques can help you become a minimalist.

2021 is finally here! I am sure that we were all waiting for this year to begin after having gone through the chaotic 2020. Even though the quarantine is not over yet, I am almost certain that 2021 holds a better and more peaceful future for us.

That being said, this is one of the reasons why today we will show you how to start the year as a minimalist.

According to break the witch, Minimalism is defined as a “design or style in which the simplest and fewest elements are used to create the maximum effect. Minimalism had its origins in the arts—with the artwork featuring simple lines, only a few colors, and careful placement of those lines and colors”.

So as you can see the minimalist lifestyle is full of calm and simplicity, pieces like the Le Corbusier chair show these features perfectly. But, as not everything remains in the furniture, the following information will help you to complement or create from scratch -if such is the case- that minimalist environment you want. Let’s begin!

“Simplicity, clarity, singleness: These are the attributes that give our lives power and vividness and joy as they are also the marks of great art.” —Richard Holloway

Opt for functional and timeless pieces like the LC2 sofa

When selecting furniture you should opt for functional and simple models, you may wonder why, this is because one piece can offer different functions. As minimalism is all about only the necessary, you will need to opt for models like the LC2 sofa.

The Le Corbusier sofa is a great example for this purpose because it is made according to the fundamental principles of what minimalism is. To give an example of this, this sofa is made with aniline leather which is a very resistant material which makes the piece last over time, this being of utmost importance because you will not need to worry about acquiring a sofa in a long time.

Select neutral color palettes

This is more important than you may think it is because too many colors within a room can create a cluttered ilusion. Although you don’t have to only select colors like white or beige, there are many other neutral hues such as gray or light yellow.

Use sophisticated textures and clean lines

The texture is a must too! You can go for a crystal chandelier, a beautifully carved headboard, or even an elegant arched lamp that adds a lot of depth to a neutral space. As for organic lines, you can add them by placing or hanging framed posters or thin plant hangers. Although you are creating a minimalist design, the organic touch that plants add helps create a peaceful space.
