When opting for a simple and often minimalist interior design, you need to focus on ensuring your room is united in its aesthetic objectives. This can be achieved through the use of building materials, as well as furniture. In this room we see a range of different stylistic ingredients such as a dark timber table, which works well against the dark timber ceiling beams. 

6. Embrace the colour white in your designs

White has always been a go-to hue for decorating in a minimalist aesthetic; however, it is also perfect for those seeking simplicity, without a hard line minimal ambience. A white palette is the ideal canvas that offers a blank slate, upon which the design can be built. If you are unsure of your desired style, choose a white hue, and ensure your room is sophisticated and refined. 

7. Let your furniture match the interior

We've already touched on creating unity through colour and materials in your home, but to further this conversation it is important to note an easy, simple design attribute. Matching your furniture with your interior style can create a wonderfully cohesive theme in your space, as well as offer a fuss-free (mistake-free) alternative to creative contrast. Take some cues from this example, and pair your furniture with your interior using the same shades, epoch and style.
