[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jonghwa] Since COVID-19, the 'minimal' trend has emerged as the dominant style for home interiors. According to a trend survey conducted last February by Apartmentmentary based on popular apartment interior keywords, 51.2% of respondents chose 'minimalism' as their family's lifestyle. As time spent at home has increased, more people embracing comfort minimalism are styling their homes with simple designs and minimal colors to create a stable and healing space.
According to a representative from the total home styling brand Decoview, "Most of Decoview's new products this year feature minimal designs such as subtle floral patterns or mini check patterns," adding, "Considering the ongoing increase in time spent at home, this minimal interior (a blend of Minimal and Interior) trend is expected to continue for a long time."
The key principle of minimal interior is simplicity. It provides comfort and stability to a space through simple designs and minimal color matching. Decoview suggests minimal interior using minimal patterns and neutral colors.
The Aesthetics of a Modern Space, a Living Room Highlighting Restrained Beauty
The living room is where most time is spent, so it is important to style it in a way that doesn’t get tiresome over time. Rather than flashy patterns, comfortable colors combined with minimal or solid designs are preferred. Decoview's 'Lublin Washable Rug' features a simple design. It is designed with tightly twisted yarns without any separate patterns, making it easy to match with any space without preference. Available in subtle and delicate neutral colors of gray and beige, it creates a comfortable and cozy living room atmosphere.
A Restful Retreat Completed with Neutral Tones and Soft Materials, the Bedroom Space
The bedroom, where one rests or sleeps and needs to feel deep stability, is best styled with minimal patterns. Decoview's 'Minimal Check Comforter,' featuring refreshing pastel colors and subtle check patterns, offers calmness and stability, creating a cozy bedroom space. The 'Softness Modal 100% Comforter' combines a solid and basic design with a minimal color palette that provides warmth, making the space feel snug.
Comfort Offered by Empty Space, a Neatly Styled Kitchen
The kitchen tends to be filled with various items like dishes and condiments, so it is easy to create a neat and atmospheric space with minimal accessories. Using the 'Minimal Check Kitchen Cross,' completed with fresh colors like blue, green, yellow, and beige and a minimal check design, you can add small changes to the same kitchen every day. If the dining area looks plain, wrapping the table with the 'Cappuccino Beige Check Tablecloth' can transform it into a mood-filled space. Its neutral color and clean check pattern suit any space well.
