What do you think of this minimalist approach when decorating a fixer upper style home? Would you like to see more decorative touches? Or do the uncluttered spaces feel like stress-free living to you?
This is so inspiring to me. It makes me want to streamline and declutter. The designer shows how to create warmth with a minimalist design.
I have a question. When I view so many of these pictures of living rooms/family rooms, they do not show any lighting. For example in the picture of the family room on this one, the sofa is featured; however, no lighting is in sight. I see this in full pictures of rooms all the time. Just wondering how they see in the dark……….. Hope this question does not sound too ignorant.
Loved the range hood, beams and that bathroom.People have truly great ideas, thanks.
Makes me want to streamline and declutter (again), but not to that extent. While I stay with neutral colors, I do require much more coziness. I need not worry that I will become a minimalist – its just not in my genes.
As long as there are NO barn-doors or shiplap involved, I love what I see in this house so far, though I’m not a huge fan of that dark cupboard at the end of the kitchen island.
Do you know the measurements of the wood back drop in the mud room? What kind of wood as well?
Oh my, much too spartan for me. Does anyone really live here? haha
I do like how this looks but I know minimalistic would never work for me.
