There is a true art to creating the
perfect minimal, yet warm and visually interesting modern interior,
especially for the oasis of the home, the bedroom. It takes skill to
create that flawless balance between what is not enough and what is way
too much, aka, clutter. You often hear the term “less is more” in
design, but it isn’t necessarily about going cheap on your furnishings
and accessories, it is about the attaining better design through
simplicity. It is about how you can get the most impact through careful
editing and restraint. The less is more theory is more about how the eye
visualizes a space, which is all a personal preference.
Most people forget when designing a space
to add personality through texture, color, materials and patterns when
attempting to add less to a space, which ultimately gives the room an
unfinished appearance. It is also about harmonizing a space and creating
a perfect balance of leaving certain spaces in a room void of
furnishings and accessories. The key to creating the perfect minimal
bedroom is to create a serene and uncluttered space, not cold and
sterile. Be sure to let objects have some breathing room so they are
more appreciated. There is an art to creating spaces that do not have
excess, but rather exude warmth and attractiveness. Enjoy the collection
of 45 images that we have gathered together for you that perfectly
illustrate the “less is more” approach. Be sure to let us know your

When a room is neutral add some spice and
let it stand out, such as these orange chairs that creates a ‘pop’ in

spectacular view.
Try using restraint in furnishing styles.
By using restraint in the bedding and furniture pieces, the interesting
ceiling plane, skylight and wood wall cladding really stands out!
A minimalist bedroom does not have stacks
of throw pillows. The two blue hued pillows provides a perfect dash of
color. Along with the neutral bedspread and clean lines of the bed, they

your mind clear at the end of the day.
