Living in line with purist design
8.12.2017
Translation: Eva Francis
Straight lines, no frills and monochrome colours – in some cases, less is more. The charm of your interior design can come from its simplicity. Living in a purist home means having a free mind and time to concentrate on what’s really important in life.
Today’s design is all about minimalism. Touchscreens replace buttons and wire-free solutions are preferred whenever possible. The same applies to interior design: minimum frills and maximum functionality. With its simplicity and monochrome colours, minimalist design has taken our hearts (and living rooms) by storm. And rightly so: In today’s constant state of overstimulation, a little space and air are a welcome change for your eyes. It's no surprise that women like Marie Kondo or Margareta Magnusson are so popular at the moment.
Living in purity
Purism tries to keep as much purity as possible on every level: no materials and colour combination, no decoration and ornaments (unless they have a certain practical purpose). This might sound strict, uncompromising and raw, but perhaps the return to simplicity is exactly what we need today.
Living in a purist home doesn’t only mean going for minimalist design, but above all keeping your home tidy. This isn’t surprising if you consider the time we spend tidying up our desk (or our entire office) before we can actually start working on an important project. Cluttered shelves and messy corners are distracting and stressful. We all need space and air to develop ideas – even if we’re just daydreaming.

The inspiration I get comes from blogs, magazines and travels. My favourite home living styles: Nautical, Scandinavian and Nordic.
