    Minimalist Interiors

    Sometimes I think we forget that simple can be just as beautiful and well decorated! With things so hectic in my life right now, it’s nice to see such minimalist interiors that are simple and clean.  Spring and summer is also a great time to clear out clutter – so be a little more ruthless when you empty out those closets this season.

    This office space really inspires me to clear mine out a bit.  Less “stuff” means less distractions and therefore better focus.

    I don’t think minimal has to mean bare, just well edited and thought out.  It also calls more attention to the objects you do display, so they can take center stage.

    Minimal also doesn’t need to be white, light, or neutral. It’s all about lines and your ratio of positive and negative space.

    Narrow and Functional

    It’s rare that narrow and functional come together in one sentence! In this case, I’ve found a few narrow but functional spaces to share with you. 
    Narrow London Living Room - Small Living Rooms (houseandgarden.co.uk):
    There’s something about a living room being narrow that makes it feel impossible to entertain. It’s all about the layout. Move your furniture around and find a sense of flow that works for you.
    Make use of what you have! Creating storage and extra seating or a day bed can make any narrow guest room / office work for you.

    Narrow bathrooms are pain, but are totally functional! Here the motto is less is more!
    Babies don’t take up much space, but their things do! In narrow spaces, it’s important to have necessities only.

    Narrow kitchens can still be “open”. Make use of all the wall space you have and create as much functionality by keeping the walkway empty.

The designer used Cumaru wood for the balcony seats and floor and he also designed the roof to match them. Overall, the loft is very beautifully balanced. The combination of cement, distressed leather, natural linen, rich wood and the perfect wall décor makes this space a dream home.:
