Creating Perfect Minimalist Home Design
Actually, the image of a minimalist home design in Indonesia is quite different from a minimalist home design in another country. Take an example of the roof. In another country, a minimalist home design has a flat roof meanwhile, in Indonesia, the roof that is used is a conical roof.

That might have something to do with Indonesia’s weather with the heavy rain volume. The flat roof has a higher leaking tendency rather than a conical roof because the raindrops that fell onto the roof cannot directly flow down.
Aside from the roof, the thing you need to pay attention to a minimalist home model is geometric lines and less accent. The color used in the minimalist home design is usually monochrome with a bit of variation. You can create several focal points in the home for more accentuating.
With less is more principle, try not to have many details or accents in a minimalist home interior. All types of furniture are also created with its own functions. That is the main key applied by a minimalist home architect when it comes to designing a minimalist home.
Simple yet Multifunctional Furniture
Other than home design, minimalist style can also be applied in the interior. To create a minimalist impression, furniture can be made hidden or flat with the wall for a seamless look.

Multifunction furniture will create a lot of empty spaces, which is one of the principles of a minimalist home interior. Seeing from the interior side, the details should avoid accents like carvings and striking colors. Though you can use one (or two, maximum) bright color(s) or decorations with a geometric pattern for more variation.
Empty spaces will make a home looks cleaner, practical, and fresh to see. Aside from that, empty spaces also led to good air circulation and good natural lighting inside the house, which is a good thing for health reasons. To maximize the lights to get into the house, a minimalist home model also use lots of glass. The glass with its clean looks also supports the looks of a minimalist home.
