Looking for simplicity in your home? Embrace the minimalist apartment interior designs and watch your spaces open up. Minimalist living brings serenity into your home by freeing up visual clutter and creating free-flowing energy around your inner spaces. Minimalism is not only about aesthetics, but also about creating a calm and peaceful environment.

Here are some tips to help you achieve the minimalist look for your flat in Trivandrum:

1. Stick to a neutral palette. Create a calm and visually restful environment with neutral colours like white, cream, beige, greys and pastel shades.

2. Get rid of unnecessary things in a room that serve no purpose, or aren’t used regularly. Declutter each room by getting rid of things that you no longer need.

3. Free up space by getting rid of large, bulky furnishings that take up too much space, and cramp up the room.

4. Keep the layout of your home unobstructed and save on floor space by opting for multi-functional furniture including multipurpose tables, storage beds, wall-mounted shelves, etc.

5. You could also store things out of sight, reducing the visual clutter. Built-in cabinets and cleverly hidden stowage are some effective storage solutions.

6. Maximise the use of natural light as it makes your home look spacious and airy. Keep the windows unobstructed and opt for light-coloured window treatments.

7. Don’t go heavy with décor items, instead limit them to a couple of stand-out pieces.

8. There is nothing like potted plants and greenery to inspire serenity and quiet elegance to a space. Add a few thriving potted plants as they complement minimalist interior designs very well.

9. And when it comes to wall décor, opt for simplicity with understated artwork that enhances minimalist aesthetics, without appearing overwhelming.

10. Conceal your technology paraphernalia including cables and wires for a neater and more organised appearance.

11. Arrange your furniture and décor with enough spaces in-between to prevent overcrowding, while creating an aura of space.

12. Go with simple, minimalist beddings and textiles. Neutral shades and designs in your bed dressings, window dressings and rugs, all work together to enhance the minimalist theme.

Do note that while minimalism emphasizes simplicity, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t include personal things that hold sentimental values too – just keep it simple!
