Minimalist decorating styles are generally characterized by incorporating bare essentials to create a simple and uncluttered space. Achieving a minimalist aesthetic in a room or space may not be as easy as it looks since we want to avoid having a room or space feeling bare or empty.
So let’s say that you’re just about finished with decluttering your space, and now you’re ready to rejuvenate a room by switching to a more clean and minimalistic aesthetic. Where do you start looking for inspiration? How do you learn how to articulate the themes that you want to incorporate into a room? Personally, I follow ideas that are trending on social media (such as Instagram or Pinterest) before buying books or magazines on how to decorate a space.
Below are some of my favorite hashtags to follow when getting started on a new project.
#minimalist[insert room name here]
#Minimalist [insert room name here]. Not to be taken too literally, this is a very simple and straightforward way to find ideas if you are focusing on a certain room or space. This can include:
– #minimalistbedroom
– #minimalistbathroom
– #minimalistcloset
– #minimalistkitchen
– #minimalistoffice
– #minimalist[whatever room or space you can think of]
The possibilities are endless.
#Nordicroom
Nordic room. Nordic interior decorating styles are known for having minimalistic features. Some of these features include clean lines, decluttered spaces, and muted colors. This style is also known for incorporating elements of nature such as natural light, wood, or stone surfaces. By searching for this particular style, I was able to find several ideas for larger statement pieces and ambient lighting without appearing too grandiose or overwhelming.
#neutralinterior
Neutral interior. If you’re looking for a simple yet chic color pallet for a room or space, this is a wonderful place to start. I like to decorate by season, so I personally believe that neutral colors are most practical for a minimalist home since you can add a pop of color anytime you feel like switching things up right away. If you’re practicing minimalism but love to incorporate several colors into a room, I recommend looking for the hashtag #colorpallets to find ideas for a limited amount of colors for a special theme that you have in mind.
#minimalistart
Minimalist art. This is an excellent hashtag to follow not only for those who love and appreciate this art style, but this also helps spark ideas for the types of colors, patterns, textures, and other minimalistic style elements that you are drawn to. Once you’ve carefully chosen some of those styles, find some of those decorative accessories around the home that compliment the elements you cherish the most. Consistency in decor promotes harmony in a room.
#minimalistquotes
Minimalist quotes. Following quotes about minimalism can remind you of your overall intentions for a special place in the home. Find the quotes that resonate with you most to stay motivated and true to your purpose. Consider placing your favorite quotes on a vision board or even printing them out and framing them on your walls.
#simplicityindesign
Simplicity in design. This hashtag implies that less is more while simultaneously promoting the idea of making an impact with all the right statement pieces. Keep it simple yet bold, and think wide, open spaces.
Feel free to share some of the hashtags you like to follow in the blog comments or on my social media pages. I always look forward to hearing from you.
