If you love the clean and calming atmosphere of a minimalist interior, you're certainly not alone. Minimalism has been around for many years and has grown to be a favourite decor style for many homeowners and interior designers. If you subscribe to the 'less is more' way of life and love creating mindful living spaces that focus on the quality of your pieces rather than the quantity, you won't be stuck for choice here at Taskers of Accrington.

We have a stunning array of minimalist pieces on offer here at Taskers, all from some of the world's most esteemed and curated brands like Alexander and James, Calligaris, Harrison Spinks and Cattelan Italia. Minimalism as a style has evolved over the years and continues to do so. And the latest evolution of this well-loved interior-style powerhouse is colourful minimalism. In case you're unfamiliar, it's exactly what it sounds like! So, if you're looking to brighten up your minimalist interior, or you're to delve into the world of minimalism, but you're not ready to part with colour, here are a few ways you can incorporate the colourful minimalist trend into your home.

Don’t throw out the neutral

It might be colourful, but it’s still minimalism at the end of the day. This trend incorporates well-thought-out pops of colour into what is otherwise your standard minimalist space. So the last thing you want is to remove all the aspects that give this style its personality and make it so distinct. So as a rule of thumb, you want to keep your backdrop mostly clean and neutral, but that makes this style accessible! You don't need to paint your walls, or switch out your sofa if you already have the perfect pieces to style around.

Pick your accent colour

When it comes to choosing your accent colour, you can pick anything you like. It looks especially great when the colours provide a vibrant contrast to a neutral room. It gives all the visual interest of something much more drastic when, in reality, you’re only switching out a few things, and it can totally transform the room without cluttering the space. Like any addition to your home, everything needs to come as a result of some degree of thought and planning. Pick a colour you love to see and that you’re not going to get tired of. It needs to be executed in a way that makes it look planned out, rather than an afterthought.

Introduce your colour with accessories

A great way to introduce your chosen colour is to take stock of your room and pick out a few key accessories that you could switch. Switching out pieces you already know and love gives you an idea of how they’re going to look in situ; plus it gives you a fun and easily reversible way to change up the look of your home for a bit of visual interest without a complete redecoration project. A few examples of pieces that would make great candidates for the swap include rugs, throws and pillows, art, even dining chairs and armchairs.

 

Clear Taskers Garden Chairs

For example, if your chosen colour is purple then the Borders Mauve Rug would be a stunning yet simple addition that would bring a burst of freshness to your space without overpowering the room. Tie in this purple rug with a couple of the Scatter Box Bellini Velour Purple throw pillows and the Calligaris Parisienne Chair in Transparent Smoke Grey which is a gorgeous pale purple. You could even take it a step further and introduce it to more permanent elements of your decor. In this colourway the Alexander & James Abraham Junior Fabric Chair in Kobe Amethyst would fit in wonderfully, epically paired with a matching Alexander & James Artisan Footstool in the same shade.

This is just a brief guide to give you a taste of the possibilities, but they’re endless. So if you’ve been looking for a non-permanent way to give your home a burst of colour for spring and summer, give this a try. We have everything you need to give your minimalist interior a little zing!
