Finally, a design philosophy I can get behind

Midimalism is a new-ish term that I've been hearing about recently. The concept blends two popular design aesthetics: minimalism and maximalism, and finds a common ground. While the blending of both perspectives isn't a new trend, what is does do is reconnect a sense of personal style into your space.

"Midimalism is a design philosophy and lifestyle approach that balances the simplicity of minimalism with the vibrant touches of maximalism, creating a harmonious and balanced environment without overwhelming the senses."
Bold design-focused pieces artfully displayed gives your home a sense of character that speaks to who you are.
By respecting the principles of both design elements, you can adhere to a visually engaging space within the boundaries of a streamlined environment. Firstly, focus on neutral wall tones or clean lines in furniture. The second step is where decor such as hosting essentials, books, abstract plants, and special relics from your travels come in as the pièce de résistance to enhance your space.

"Designing in midimalism is like an art curator thoughtfully arranging various art pieces on the blank canvas of a museum."
Complementing bold items with natural woods creates a brilliant balance in the room. Add dimension through pops of artwork on the walls, textured patterned rugs, brightly colored books, and fun games that can also serve as conversational pieces. After all, a home should feel lived-in, well-traveled, and a reflection of who you are and how you live.
