Keep it simple: White and clean walls, simple textures and blending decor makes minimalist designs spaces- large and inviting. It is more of 'straight-line concept' rather than 'classical and ornate'. To balance out the minimalistic approach use crisp and rich natural tones of colours like beige, brown, pristine white and caramel tan etc. It will add up the comfort and warmth to your room.

Clear all surfaces of clutter: A cluttered home signifies a cluttered mind', thus leading to increased stress levels. Keeping home clean is a chore that requires daily diligence. Thus the easiest way is to become minimalistic, where 'less is more'. The concept of "do I need it' has taken over from 'I like it' and "I must have it'. Even Feng shui advocates minimalistic clutter free décor and living.

Choose quality over quantity: Less number of designer décor items can make your home looks attractive and clutter-free. You really have to consider each piece carefully for your home. Choose well-made pieces that are built to last, will withstand daily use and look better as a result. Try to use old material after showing creativity in it.

Balance is the key minimalist design: Balance is very essential to pay attention to the minimalistic design. Arrange pillows, artworks or lamps in flanking pairs or use an asymmetrical pattern to look good. This will give you a big difference in how you perceive the space if the placement of items builds off each group through balance or juxtaposition.
