Minimalism has existed to streamline design concepts and to bring clarity to decorating, design and engineering. Minimalist ideas can be some of the most powerful design concepts on earth, and they can convey strong messages. Minimalism is characterized by open planes, minimally broken or completely unbroken lines, small detail, few objects of interest, reduce furniture, and clean shapes and forms. Color can be creatively use in minimalism, but is strongest with only one accent color, two at the most, within a palette of grayscale or monochromatic neutrals.
Ecologically speaking, minimalism inspires and encourages a responsible, clear-cut, earth-friendly lifestyle, and it can be use quite powerfully to show appreciation for all the our beloved earth has to offer us. Eco friendly features of minimalism include renewable materials, minimalist décor which is in itself conservative and uses fewer resources, and art inspiration from thousands of ecological inspirations, including the ocean, living green things, and even animals and owner-pet affection.
In our efforts to bring eco friendly behavior to our whole earth, minimalism has been used extensively in corporate redecorating, green initiatives, and to signify a cleaner, more renewable company to potential clientele. Even private offices and cubicles are being decorated with minimal styling and are a great deal more tasteful for it. Home makers often find that too busy of a style within their home will actually lead to clutter and more unclean habits, and minimalism actually helps deter this behavior. Minimalism has served many purposes over the decades, and as an art form, it continues to set a fine example today for clean, clutter-free, drama-free lifestyles. While many individuals enjoy the warmer tones and styles of more traditional artwork and design, minimalism cools down the energy of a specified area and helps to reduce over-thinking and obsessive mental traits. Minimalist artwork tends to be abstract and suggests forms and ideas through line and basic shapes. Apartments can be decorated in true minimalist by reducing furniture, clearing open floor space and open counter space, using lines and small curves to finish the artwork and using monochromatic color schemes.
