I love minimalist design for its clear, simple approach that usually makes you feel free and unrestrained. For me, the most easiest to explain its characteristics is to name it a design stripped down to only its essential elements. The house realized by Arch11 Studio from Colorado chose a monochromatic palette for the interiors. Walls were removed to facilitate an overlapping of spaces and provide connection to the north and south yards throughout the public spaces. Before enjoying the pictures from the gallery, please read the essential principles spotted on smashingmagazine.com we have to take into consideration when we want to design a minimalist interior.

So,

Less is more – use only elements that are necessary for your web design; the end effect is greater than the sum of its parts.

Omit needless things – don’t include unnecessary elements in your designs; include only what’s necessary to the content and function of your website (including certain design and graphical elements that directly affect readability and usability).

Subtract until it breaks – remove elements until your design stops working the way it should (stops being user-friendly or stops delivering your intent experience); the point right before that is when you’ve achieved the most minimalist design possible.

Every detail counts – what you choose to leave in is vital, so think of the feeling you want visitors to have, then include only the details that will create that feeling (funky, modern, clean, sophisticated, and so forth).

Color minimally – use only the colors that interact well with each other and create the feeling you want visitors to have.

White space is vital – don’t try to fill every space, instead use white space to emphasize certain elements over others.

Good luck!

 Wide open areas

 Colored glass warm the interiors.

 The kitchen is a minimalist statement at its best. 

 High tech accessories

 Simplicity and clarity in architectural designs by using modern materials like steel and plates of glass, having a minimal structural framework, including lots of open space.

 Rectangular lines and clarity of spaces

 The lamp goes very well with the chairs. 

 If you love minimalism, stay stick to only: horizontal and vertical line, rectangular forms, primary values white, black, and grey, and primary colors blue, red, and yellow.

Minimalist architecture became popular in the late 1980s in London and New York, where architects and fashion designers worked together in the boutiques to achieve simplicity, using white elements, cold lighting, large space with minimum objects and furniture.
