Style Spotlight: Minimalism

At Real Flame, we understand that when choosing a fireplace, style is often just as important as functionality. That is why we provide a number of different fireplaces that can fit with just about any style, from modern to traditional and, of course, minimalism. With a number of minimalist fireplaces on offer, we shall look at the style of minimalism and how you can achieve the look.

Simple Colours

One of the most important features of creating a minimalist space is the use of simple colours. A minimalist room would never feature loud or busy wallpaper and is unlikely to include a number of bright colours. As a general rule, subdued colours such as white, stone and taupe are best, but an accent of solid colour is always welcomed.

Basic Patterns

Minimalism doesn’t have to mean a complete lack of pattern or design in your space, but patterns should be carefully selected. Using big and bold patterns such as stripes is a great way of adding a little personality into a space that is otherwise simply designed.

Clutter-Free

A true minimalist home should be relatively clutter-free, leaving clean and clear spaces. A minimalist fireplace will often fit well into this style as many designs do not take up floor space but are integrated into the original aesthetic and layout of the room.

Natural Materials

In a minimalist home, you will often find plenty of natural materials, giving the space a stripped back look. Materials such as stone, timber and slate are popular choices and can go a long way to giving your home a warmer feeling – something that is often necessary for a simplistic home which can have a cold and empty feeling if not executed properly.

Uncomplicated Artwork

Without a few extra details, a minimalist home can seem cold and rather unwelcoming. However, by adding a few simple pieces of artwork, you can create a minimalist room that makes you want to actually sit down and spend time in it.
