We all know that home design is a very personal thing. It’s not often that we find the perfect furniture to meet our needs, so it can be hard to stick with one brand and style for long periods of time. That’s where minimalism comes in. It’s not just a hot buzzword — it’s a practical strategy for a reason.
Minimalism is a design trend that focuses on simplicity, clean lines and an uncluttered space. It typically uses an open floor plan, lots of light and functional furniture as well as emphasis on the shape, color or texture of a few important elements in a room.
The beauty of minimalist design is that with good-quality, minimalist pieces, you’re free to switch up the smaller design elements in your room, like art, as much as you’d like without making the space seem too overwhelming or hectic. We’ve had our eye on these 5 brands because they have mastered modern, clean lines and simple sophistication:

This Danish company creates simple, everyday products that have thoughtful and imaginative design elements to them. Since 2002, HAY’s creative directors Mette and Rolf Hay have consistently worked with different designers to keep their offerings fresh and diverse.
Umbra
