In terms of design, “minimalism” means living with less. When I think of minimalism, I think about modern design. Some of the most prominent architects like Walter Gropius (German-American architect, founder of the Bauhaus School), Frank Lloyd Wright, and Mies Van der Rohe have been leaders of the movement. In minimalism, form follows function. Also in minimalism, we see a lot of influences from Scandinavian design.
In our work, we’re hearing from clients that they want to see less clutter and visual stimulation in their homes, but still enjoy the comfort of being surrounded by their belongings - and I think that’s where this mash-up of minimalism and maximalism is happening.
Some clients love the look of a louder, more ornate style and feel comforted by “more.” We’re also influenced by many external factors - for example, we have seen pushes on social media surrounding the desire to own less (i.e. Home Edit / Marie Kondo.) Ultimately, we live in a fast-paced and “more” mindset society - so some people are craving simple and less. I think this mindset aligns with a lot of our clients today.
