THIS IS HOW OLYMPIA PAINTS CAN HELP YOU ACHIEVE A MODERN MINIMALIST ARCHITECTURAL LOOK IN YOUR HOME

Minimalism has become tremendously popular as a design philosophy and way of life in recent times. Minimalist or modern design is all about achieving simplicity of form, space, material, detail, and of course, colour.

In décor and design, minimalism is the fine art of using limited colours and design elements to make creatively styled interiors and exteriors, where colour plays a crucial role.

Typical characteristics of modern minimalist home design include cleanness in form and function, uncomplicated cladding and wall finishes, clean, open, light-filled spaces, simple detailing with no excessive decoration, and the strategic use of materials for visual interest, texture, and personality.

Repeated geometric forms used together to form a design on an accent wall or room furnishings can create a clean-cut look while highlighting focal points in the room. The incorporation of both light and dark colours can be effective in adding volumising contrast without necessarily adding more items to a room.

MINIMALIST COLOUR PREFERENCES

The minimalist look incorporates simple, neutral colours as the ideal characteristics of a room or home. Choosing your perfect living room or bedroom paint can mean the difference between a refreshing, modern feel as opposed to a cluttered look.

As a general rule, the minimalist colour palette includes mainly lighter colours such as soft greys, whites, earth tones, or black, complemented by a few accents. The idea is not be eye-catching, so you’d want colours that fade into the background, and which look soft and airy.

Pale Greys

Pale Grey (AP23-1, Victorian Parlour) is a safe choice for a modern minimalist home. A soft, natural grey gives just a hint of colour which will allow your décor to take pride of place in your living area. Soft and natural colours such as pale greys will not overwhelm your choice of décor; it will also allow you to make numerous decorating choices easily.

Beiges

Beige (AP34-2, Basket Beige) is a universally-popular modern minimalist colour. It has a perfectly balanced undertone that can work with much effect in a variety of rooms, and with all types of lighting. Our Tapestry Beige (AP34-5) is a smoky neutral with just enough grey to give it a cool undertone. Cool neutrals work extremely well with natural blues and greens. A colour such as Tapestry Beige can give even the smallest minimalist home a large and airy look.

Darker Greys

If Beige is not your first choice, a warm grey colour (AP53-4, Mysterious Grey) could be just for you. The popularity of a darker shade of grey comes from its ability to coordinate with so many décor styles and accent colours. It has a unique quality to transform a space in any lighting.

Off-Whites

Pretty, warm, and light, our range of off-whites (AP1-1 to AP22-6) are rich alternatives to ordinary white wall colours. By choosing a warm, white paint for your modern home, you are able to create a clean and crisp look to your living spaces.

Whites

Can one get any more minimalistic than white (AP3-2, Snow White)? The colour is beautifully simple which makes it so perfectly suited to a modern minimalist look. Paired with black (AP171-6, Black Night), whites as the most basic components in the spectrum of colour, are by far the most common colours used in minimalist style.

Choose your paint colour

Although you don’t have to give up colours altogether to achieve minimalism, your chosen colour palette should be tightly edited, using only colours that work well together, and which maintain a feeling of simplicity.
