More than forty years after its appearance as an artistic phenomenon, minimalism, one of the most stable current trends, has established itself as an aesthetic expression of architecture and design. In interior architecture, minimalism is defined by the characteristics of simplicity of shapes, clean lines, stripped-down spaces and neutral colors. This style advocates harmonious and functional universes, banishing excess and any visual pollution. Despite the great rigor of its principles, minimalism, faced with its growing popularity, has had to nuance them to create living spaces that are more habitable and less strict, ultimately more human. This work brings together decorative proposals that display a new, more contemporary version of minimalism, embellishing them with inspiring phrases from the most eminent representatives of this movement.
