Apartment Living for the Modern Minimalist

Minimalist design is becoming all the rage especially in apartments where space is often scarce. This design concept explores simplicity and keeps homes clutter and stress free. Less is more in these stunning designs, keeping the space open and clean. When creating a minimalist concept, it's important to remember that these designs are using only necessary elements to occupy and stylize a space. The use of interesting and sometimes funky furniture paired with a neutral palette is what really defines a modern, minimalist space. It is that “less is more” thought process which is needed to achieve the clean, sleek looks below created by Studio 1408.

White is often considered the supreme color choice for a modern and minimal design and this living space exemplifies that. The wood used is in a very light shade and the only slight touch of darkness can be seen in the window and door frames. The wall art keeps with the white color scheme and adds a touch of nature to the room.
