Space is Luxury - especially in Prague

‘Why minimalism is so fashionable nowadays?’ has been asked from architects to design blogs many times before. Is it because of its simplicity? Its usability? Efficiency? Or its environmental aspects? Many people with different professions and visions have described what lays behind the unmatched popularity of minimalism, and now we wish to provide our own realtor approach.

At Home Network's experienced real estate professionals say the question is rather: what does its style say about our homes? Minimalism offers a life with less stress, less distraction, more freedom, and more time. Minimal doesn't mean Spartan. It means that those who redefine themselves, their homes, donate their clutter, let the unnecesary go can afford to reclaim space with quality materials. So the answer to why it is fashionable could not be more simple: ‘Because space is luxury’.

How to get on track?

The first step is to organize and declutter our residences, while placing one main element in the focus of the attention. It is very important to have a focal point, for instance, a favorite furniture from which every other element radiates out.
The second step towards effective minimization of our homes is to curate our color palette. Use only few colors with no motive and stick to it. If you find it hard to furnish a whole room with only one or two colors, try to use different materials.

To further emphasize the minimal look, use modern furnishings and try to avoid antiques and traditional furniture. A key element is creating empty surfaces by grouping together similar objects in designated areas. Place books in a chest and group the picture frames to the assigned area. Make sure to use limited number of pictures with a simple composition and frame. The arrangement of the artworks is just as important; try placing pictures, lamps, pillows, etc. in pairs or group them together asymmetrically to either side. Defining what doesn't matter to you is as imperative to crafting a great life as knowing what does.

For many, finding a source of inspiration helps the most. Browse pictures, websites, magazines or our blog to give you some ideas and refine your taste. There are many levels of minimalism; therefore, it is very important for you to know in what environment you would feel the most comfortable. Minimalism is hunting your best life!

If you agree with Leonardo da Vinci, that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, a home with a minimalist style is definitely for you and the above listed apartments on the pictures give plenty of opportunity to realize the home of your dreams.
