A minimalist house usually looks simple yet sophisticated. Furniture used in minimalist decorating tends to have sleek, clean lines. The number of pieces placed in a space is kept to a minimum. Decorative objects are integrated sparsely to add color and texture without overwhelming the space. Open floor plans are common in minimalist homes, and their layouts often maximize natural lighting. Neutral color palettes are also frequently chosen. Overall, the emphasis of the design of a minimalist home is on the function of the space rather than on flashy decor.
