What is Minimalist Modern Design?

Minimalism is the idea that simplicity can be beautiful. Less is always more. Minimalist design influences not only the way a home looks, but the way a family lives. By stripping the home down to only its essential elements, minimalists believe that your mind can be cleared, allowing for more time and space for what matters most.

Over the years, minimalist designers have shifted away from using gallery-esque styling choices. Today, it uses more natural textures and organic forms typically found in Scandinavian design.
