Minimalist Interior Design.
This has always been attractive to me but ever since I have moved out of my home, the appearance of my own living space and growing knowledge and love for working Graphic Design as become a lot more addictive.
Over the past few weeks I have been collecting various images which I think correlate to my definition of minimalist interior design.
There seem to be three rules to it. Organisation, maximum use of space (including negative space) and having a firm grasp on colour control. Function over form has also been a subject on my mind concerning this. It seems that everything has earnt its place in the room concerned yet, is it all there for a purpose? Is everything used or is it just for aesthetics? Does it turn your living room into an art gallery or the cafeteria at the design museum?
There seems to be a massive fixation about organisation. When you think about it it does play a massive part of the style of decor. Things are going to look a lot more methodic and functional when there are placed in dead straight right angles and most probably in alphabetical order. Function over form? both sides can be argued. I know I feel better coming home to a tidy room. In the photograph below particularly it seems as thought the books or records or whatnot have been placed there to make a discreet method of storage? But could it be said that it forms a decorative skirting board?
There is also a massive focus on staircase. My verdict-form over function. The staircase is no longer a method of getting from the ground floor to the first floor. It is a projection of your taste and even stage in life. I don't see how a toddler gate could be fitted on these bad boys.

There is also an injection of 1960's interior design. This is when colour has a chance. There seems to be strict rules of placement of colour. I know in my most recent attempt of decoration, (a future hobby I propose) I blur my eyes to see where colour is needed or should be retracted from the room. When used properly-doesnt half look beautiful in some rooms...
