we list it because it’s a style people look for. There
are styles that are minimalist such as modern and
midcentury design styles.
Minimal interior styles and designs consist of ultra-
clean lines and streamlined furnishings that have
nothing flamboyant or glitzy about them. They also
pick on air and neutral color palettes that provide a
great sense of warmth and coolness to the eyes.
The minimalist trend is believed to have been
started sometime during the twentieth century and
was initially influenced by the super simple and
delicate Japanese designs. Modern minimalist
interior designers always make use of black, white,
and primary colors. Their designs are truly
simplistic and nothing less than work of art.

seem to have a rich history.
