Ideas for Creating a Minimalist Bedroom

What is Minimalist Interior Design?

The goal is to have a simple, uncluttered space. Furniture should have clean lines and room colours should tend towards monochrome with stronger colours used as an accent. The space should look neat, uncluttered and organised with each piece in the room playing its part in the overall design. This means taking out all those knick-knacks that have been accumulated on your travels and the painting that your grandmother gave you, unless of course these items are part of your curated design. The minimalist style is far from boring; it makes a bold statement whilst being functional and giving the feeling of breathing space.

Why Create a Minimalist Bedroom?

A minimalist bedroom creates a serene, calming ambience that is conducive to a good night’s sleep. Out of all the rooms in your home, this is the one in which you spend the most time and it is time in which your mind and body rejuvenate themselves, ready for another day. It’s an especially great concept for a small bedroom where space is at a premium, making it feel light and airy.

Simple Ideas to Create a Minimalist Look

There are a few things you can do to ‘get the look’ quite easily. It goes without saying that before you start, you need to declutter, taking out anything that is not going to play a part in your carefully curated minimalist bedroom. Then think about the points below and how you can apply them to your bedroom.

Decide on the Neutrals

Your ‘blank canvas’ could be mainly white or mainly another neutral such as grey, beige, or ‘greige’. Then use accent colours throughout the room, meaning one or two colours. More than that and you’re in danger of making the space look cluttered. In the photo above, the patterned curtains add interest and tie in with the greenery in the vases.

Use Accent Decorations

The rule for the minimalist style is to use decorations as accents and not to overwhelm your space with a lot of things. This includes artwork. Instead of a group of small paintings, use one or two large ones as in the room shown above, where the relatively bold piece of artwork stands out on a neutral brick wall.

The Importance of Storage Solutions

Storage space is key in a minimalist bedroom. When choosing furniture, go for the option that includes storage, such as a dressing table with drawers. You should aim to put away anything that doesn’t form a part of your carefully curated design, leaving out only the pieces that are intentionally placed.

Bright Colours Can Be Used to Accessorise

If you think a minimalist bedroom will be flat and boring, think again. Bright accent colours can be utilised in accessories such as duvet covers and curtains. Remember to keep these colours co-ordinated and few in number as this really is a case of less is more. In the example above, the blue in the duvet set picks out the blue of the curtains. Even the colour of the flowers in the vase has been carefully chosen.

Warmth is Welcome

Introducing your own style is not contrary to the minimalist design ethic. It makes a living space feel less clinical and more like a home than a hotel room. A carefully selected rug and a statement colour on one wall gives the room above a particular style whilst solid oak furniture and warm lighting create a cosy yet simple feel.

Freestanding Kitchen Ideas

Image
The basic components of freestanding kitchens have all made, or are in the process of making, a comeback. Larder cupboards, also known as pantries; dressers; kitchen islands and butchers blocks are either used as the main components of a kitchen or mixed and matched with existing fitted units. The result is not only aesthetically pleasing but also good for the environment as there is less wastage, with some elements being moved from house to house through the various stages of life. The fact that everything doesn’t need to ‘match’ can also make freestanding kitchens more affordable than fitted kitchens and provides flexibility should you decide you want to move things around later on. You can add one or more freestanding units to your kitchen to complement or contrast with any existing units. 1. The Kitchen Dresser A kitchen dresser offers a marvellous means of showing off your pretty crockery, ornaments and cookery books whilst providing useful storage for kitchenware such as dining...

How to Choose a Display Cabinet

An oak display cabinet is an investment piece so it’s well worth spending a little time thinking about what its main purpose will be, prior to selecting one. Generally speaking, this involves considering available space, styling, functionality and location in addition to more obvious criteria such as budget. Above: https://www.furniture4yourhome.co.uk/deluxe-solid-oak-large-3-door-3-drawer-dresser A display cabinet can double up as a dresser, which can be particularly useful in the kitchen where a good amount of storage is needed. Cupboards and drawers hide the less interesting but essential items such as cutlery whilst elegant wine glasses and pretty tea sets can be displayed behind glazed doors. Having a display area for treasured pieces is especially valuable when the kitchen is used for dining and aesthetics of the room are therefore more important. Oak is a timeless and durable wood and can withstand the probable wear and tear determined by its location in the kitchen without...

5 Clever Storage Solutions

You’ve done the ruthless declutter and bestowed endless bags of belongings to the charity shop but you’re still short of storage space. What next? It’s time to get creative. We’ve come up with five ways to store your essential items that you might not have considered before. Above: https://www.furniture4yourhome.co.uk/breeze-blanket-box 1. Blanket Box A blanket box is no longer used for storing blankets in most households as most of us use duvets these days. For this reason alone, it might never have occurred to you to purchase one but they can be incredibly handy and versatile. A wooden or neutral painted blanket box will fit in with the décor in any room so it can be moved to wherever it is most needed. If children’s toys on the floor are the bane of your life, a blanket box in the play area is brilliant for just throwing everything into before bedtime. In the bedroom it can be used for bags, jumpers, spare dressing gowns or even towels. Pop it under a window with a cushion on t...
