Minimalism has long been the mantra for those who yearn for simple, basic spaces with clean lines, pared-down forms and no-frills design. Minimalism isn’t just a design style, ‘Less is more’ is a way of life that celebrates a simple, clutter-free existence. This can sometimes be at odds with traditional Indian design, where ornamentation and opulence are the norm. As a consequence, minimalist spaces are often perceived as cold, sterile and unwelcoming. However, it’s possible to fuse both of these aesthetics. With some tweaks and creative thinking, you can have a home that’s the perfect blend of modern minimalism and Indian sensibilities.
