minimalist style
Stripped-down aesthetic approach
Minimalist style emphasizes simplicity, clean lines, and the elimination of excess.
In design and architecture, it favors open spaces, neutral colors, and only essential elements: The apartment's minimalist style meant bare walls and a single low sofa.
The aesthetic extends to fashion, art, and lifestyle choices that prioritize function over ornamentation.
The guiding principle is that less is more.
