Minimalism
as an interior designing trend originates from
Italy and minimal art which spread in the 1960s
is its spiritual forerunner. This expression
was first used in 1965 by Richard Wollheim.
The minimal or rational style trend tries to
achieve the harmony people crave by making
exclusive use of plain forms and order and
also by repeating and lining patterns and forms
rhythmically in space. In this way drawing
our attention to the realisation that orderliness
should not only be a dream but a reality around
us and in our lives.
This space-demanding trend
requires empty surfaces between fixtures and
spacious arrangement of the pieces of furniture.
Other objects representing different styles
will be immediately striking almost glaringly
out of space and disorder or furniture in disarray
will also give the same impression. It is almost
compulsory for the articles of personal use
to be arranged according to a plan.
Flowers
and green plants representing nature play an
especially important role in grand empty rooms.
Plants should be arranged in an important place
with a clear conception in a flower pot. Glass
or metal vases of simple shapes are also ornaments
worthy of this puritan world.
