Renovating your home can be a fun task no matter what theme you have chosen. If you like the minimalistic style, but are worried that it may come across as boring, then you couldn’t be more wrong. Yes, this style focuses on the basics, but you can make the most of it by playing with different patterns and textures within the space. Today, we’ll be taking a look at 5 interesting ways you can play with patterns in your minimal interior designs.
1. Floor patterns

Contrary to popular belief, not all minimalistic interior designs have to have a basic floor design palette. Being simple is great, but doing so with flair is what can set your homes apart. So instead of choosing a totally plain surface for your floors, how about you indulge in some unique patterns? But here’s the catch: all floor patterns must be chosen in a neutral color palette; i.e. greys, whites, beige, etc. Only then can you fully complement the minimalist vibe.
2. Furniture upholstery

Minimalistic furniture is simple by design. It has very little accessorizing, and it is rarely ever plush or luxurious. However, one of the most impactful ways you can emulate texture in your minimally designed spaces is by experimenting with the upholstery of your furniture. It can be as bold and vivid as you like, as long as the surroundings have an adequately natural color scheme.
3. Creative accent walls

Most of the walls in a minimalistic style interior design are the epitome of plain. They rarely ever feature any décor, but you can still respect this aesthetic and introduce patterns at the same time. You simply have to find the right cladding material that suits such an effortless ambiance. Wall tiles and panels with patinas are a good choice. Alternatively, you can also choose elementary wallpapers or exposed brick wall textures.
4. Door architraves

While many people appreciate innovative door designs, they don’t usually inquire about the architrave. The architrave is actually the framing that gives your doors a holistic look. Conventionally, it is designed in wood, but these days it can be emulated in many other materials such as aluminum. You can choose a bold-hued architrave to introduce a splash of color and pattern in your minimalistic interior designs.
5. Half-wall designs

Half wall designs feature a plethora of unique material applications and aesthetics. You can embellish the lower-half of your walls with tile mosaics, interesting paint choices, and furniture to create interest within the simplicity of the space. It’s usually recommended for areas that don’t have any other visual attraction.
