Minimalist Home Decor: Quality & Uniqueness Over Quantity

Minimal organic modern decor is all the talk right  now... In fact, I'm personally a huge fan. However, I see that people are often unsure of how to bring this interior decor approach into their homes because they find it difficult to find a balance between unique, statement decor and the minimalistic look. The key to achieving this aesthetic, is to invest in quality statement furniture that can easily be paired with unique decor pieces you can curate over time.

QUALITY FURNITURE AS A FOUNDATION

The foundation of a minimal, organic modern interior is built on quality furniture pieces that make a statement all on their own... These items are not only functional but also draw the eye and can be standalone pieces. They're often the ones that you want to invest more in as they may serve as a focal point in the space and are transitional pieces that will remain a part of your collection for years to come. Think of an elegant burl wood credenza, an oversized unfinished wooden dining table or a unique accent chair. Because your furniture is already making a statement,  you are less likely to rely so heavily on a large quantity of decor pieces.  

PAIRING WITH QUALITY CURATED DECOR

Once you have created a foundation with quality furniture, it's essential to add more depth, texture and balance to your space by incorporating smaller decor accents. Think of building an outfit... often our clothing is the main event but we still utilize accessories to complete the look. Similarly, decor or smaller accents will serve to enhance your space... and the best part is that they can be thoughtfully curated over time.  

These smaller decor items might include:

- decorative pillows

- throws

- woven baskets

- wall art

- vessels and accessories

The reason it is especially helpful to take your time when buying and selecting these pieces is that it is easy to get carried away with the quantity of pieces we put on display in our homes... If you are truly looking forward to that Modern Organic & Minimalist aesthetic, it's important to be selectiveNot only is it important to remember the "less is more" philosophy but it's also key to focus on what makes each piece unique. 

Overall, the best way to achieve a beautifully minimal aesthetic is to truly emphasize quality and uniqueness... If not, you'll likely find yourself underwhelmed and looking for ways to add more to your space.  Think low quantity, high quality. 

And as always, remember, the beauty of "home" is that it is a reflection of who we are... It's easy to feel rushed to have "completed" spaces that look like the inspiration we admire, but the truth is, home feels the best when we take our time to fill it with things we truly love.
