"Features of the minimalist style - the power of invisible details"

The minimalist style comes from Japan, and its characteristic determinant is simplicity, perfection and quietness.

Minimalist interior is a simple interior, even ascetic, devoid of decorations. Are you sure? Ornaments can be understood in a variety of ways. The reference may be the so-called German style in car tuning. There we also have minimalism, asceticism and the power of detail. In these two cases, however, let's talk about details invisible to the naked eye. Their quantity, but quality, does not matter. The dominant shape is a simple, geometric form. The leading principle of "the less the more" should be understood literally if we think about visible elements. Invisible details are another matter. The main element of this style is the feeling of spaciousness and order in the interior. Harmony, hut of visible ornaments, details and souvenirs from travel. When deciding on this style, it is important to remember the good, almost perfect combination of all elements. If the interior is regarded by the host as minimalistic, and on the dresser lies full of knick knacks, frames and other accessories, we have a sign that we are dealing not exactly with the conscious host. We do not have room for chaos and random choices here. The interiors must be orderly and spacious, and if you do not see something, you do not need a puki, that's the point. The word is not meant for everyone. It is directed to organized and perfect people. Maintaining the composition of such an interior requires spending much more time than with other styles. It always means more. This style appeared in the twentieth century and gained many followers of purity. In the initial phase he was a rebellion against the forms of secession, then, over time, become a full-fledged form. In the above trend you can see Zen inspirations, inseparable for many styles, but here it is very visible; Harmony, moderation and clarity of the solutions used. It is nothing but functionalism. Even the equipment must meet sophisticated criteria - geometric form, uncomplicated detail, full functionality, simplicity of operation. For many, an example of a minimalist interior is a kitchen with simple lacquered countertops, without handles. Of course, this is a correct view of the subject, but not entirely. The power of details is hidden deep under the outer shell. Ascetic must be just a form, not action. Electrically opened touch drawers, light activated on the motion sensor or heat. The light is obviously invisible, or hidden somewhere deep into the ceiling or wall. If we see them already, then its form should not catch eyes with details, but with slenderness, smoothness and simplicity. And colors? The conviction is that colors should not dominate. However, the combination of several contrasting colors does not diminish our minimalism.
