One of the latest trends in home decoration is minimalism, that is, “less is more”, and here we explain what it is.
Undoubtedly, these are times of change in almost all areas: while life tells us more quickly, many times, it is best to stop for a moment and change course. In other words, it is about living with the most basic.
It is for this reason, among others, that in recent years, the minimalist lifestyle has been consolidated in homes, in different countries.
“Minimalism”as a term/concept, was coined in 1965 by Richard Wollheim, who used it to refer to the works of Ad Reinhardt and other objects with a high intellectual content, but with very little manufacturing content.
In this way, the style minimalist It can be defined as something simple and, in this case, it can also be used as a kind of synonym for “elegant”. Another of the concepts of “minimalism” mentions that it is everything that has been reduced to only having the essentials, clearing things that are not very useful.
Today, we speak, in the same way, as one of the most important trends in terms of home decoration, which is why, at RE / MAX we tell you how you can adapt this style for your own home.
