Practically Minimal: Inspirational Ideas for Twenty-First Century Living

Practically Minimal: Inspirational Ideas for Twenty-First Century Living

by Maggie Toy (Author)

Synopsis

The new minimalist style of interior design is not about bare, white-walled rooms, starkly devoid of signs of human life; nor is it about massive expense and austere living. Many of today's designers - no longer content with hard-edged purity - adapt the minimalist vocabulary and imbue it with innovative, yet practical, twists. This book offers visual inspiration and ideas for flexible, livable, enjoyable and functional spaces that artfully combine the beauty and spirituality of minimalism with an exhuberant love of exotic woods and metals, varied colours, playful and mysterious forms and the requisite respect for natural light, clean lines and an easy modern lifestyle.
