(10 Basic Steps to Get You Started)

"Less is more" is the underlying belief in minimalist design. But, it's actually so much more than just simply having fewer stuff in your home. Minimalism is actually a way of living built upon the principle of being intentional with how you decorate. Where one thinks bare and bleak, minimalists see it as simple. Where one thinks dull, minimalists see it as sexy.

And, there are rational reasons behind that. An average household has over 300, 000 items! This translates to the average person spending 12 days each year hunting for items they can't find –in their own house. Beyond home design, minimalism extends to one's lifestyle. 

If you're fed up with not being able to find anything at home or the thought of friends coming over makes you panic, it might be time to consider a de-clutter. Not only does clearing out your space make your home feel calmer, it can also have a positive impact on your mental health. As you take charge of your home and get rid of things that are taking up too much room, you may also find yourself letting go of negative feelings and regaining your sense of control. We take a look at the problem with clutter, what you can do about it and some top tips for getting started.

Designing a home interior that represents a person's inner self is an art that combines a person's personality and preferences. Our interiors are blank canvases on which to put paint, ceramics, woodwork, and glass to add colour and nuances. In residential and commercial properties, we bring all of them together to create a logical and natural flow. Though interior design is primarily driven by creativity, we should also consider the effects of the colour schemes that we choose. Taking into consideration the psychology of colours for the benefit of clients and their friends, families, and colleagues is crucial, since they will spend hours in our designed rooms.

Interior design is all about combining seven important elements and striking the perfect balance between them. In our first instalment of this blog series, we discussed the importance of colour, pattern and print, light, and form in interior design.
