When choosing a paint colour, opt for white instead. It will make your house look more spacious and it is also comfortable on the eyes.

Decorate your house with furniture such as a coffee table, vase or chair that are made of wood or have wooden accents on it because wood makes your house appear more warm and welcoming. You can try wooden flooring too!

#2 More greenery, less clutter

If you want to decorate your home space, by all means! But to get the minimalist look, you need to keep in mind that those decorations might make your home look cluttered.

Instead, we recommend using plants as decorations. Greenery is pleasing to the eyes and having a right amount of it laying around the house will make your home feel more comfy.

#3 Get a built-in wardrobe

When renovating your house, let your interior designer know that you would like to have a built-in wardrobe.

A built-in wardrobe allows you to hide all your clutter so that the space visible can be as neat as possible, letting you achieve a minimalist look for your home.

#4 Keep your bedsheets simple

Your bed is probably the biggest furniture in your room which means it can make or break the entire aesthetics.

Choose bedsheets with little to no design on it to keep the room looking simple yet stylish. If you really want something more, throw some pillows with patterned pillow covers on your bed and voila! You will achieve a stylish-looking, minimalist room.

#5 Add mirrors as decorations

Mirrors make really good decorations too! People like to include mirrors as decorations for their minimalist homes and you can do the same too.

Choose a chic-looking round mirror with gold frames and attach it on the wall near a seating area. Putting it near your front door is also a great idea as you can use it to check that your outfit and hair are in place before heading out!
