Ideas for a modern minimalist living room
Minimalism, preferred by both interior designers and homeowners, strips away the clutter to embrace open space and intentional living. Here are some of our ideas for designing a minimalist living room:
Simple colour palettes: Soothing neutral and monochromatic colour palettes define minimalist interiors.
Highlight furniture: Create a beautiful blank canvas with porcelain tiles to allow the furniture to shine.
Statement flooring: Porcelain tiles with simple patterns and neutral colours creates an uninterrupted flow of traffic through the space, allowing the flooring to truly make a statement.
Textures: Layering different textures and effects of tiles together in minimalist living areas will create a nuanced and interesting design aesthetic.
Colour Palettes
Tell your colour story by creating a minimalist colour palette with our porcelain tiles. Monochromatic colour palettes focus on celebrating single tile colours, such as all white, creating a stunning and cohesive design where walls and floors blend impeccably. A simple colour palette for a minimalist living room include either 2 or 3 different coloured tiles: a light neutral shade provides the base, a mid-tone such as grey or beige adds an accent colour, and small hints of either black or brown in the flooring help ground and balance out the colour combination. Our Boost Expression collection provides a range of expertly selected colours, offering diverse ways of incorporating neutral and pastel shades in the minimalistic design of the living room.
Pairing porcelain tiles with furniture
A sleek blank canvas in a living room that complements the clean lines and simplicity of minimalism can be created with porcelain tiles. Modular sofas paired with large-format tiles can create a striking impact in a minimalist lounge. Choose tiles in neutral shades, such as cool grey, to create a blank canvas, which will allow the furniture and accessories to shine. Porcelain tiles with subtle texture and pattern like marble effect, as the ones from our Marvel Diva collection, or concrete effect tiles will add depth allowing for focal pieces like lamps and coffee tables to stand out naturally.
Flooring
A well-designed floor is a feature that injects interest and character into a minimalist lounge, and porcelain tiles are perfect at creating this statement feature. Our range of living room tiles gives you the freedom to design floors with any material, effect, and colour. Tiles from our Log and Log Cansei collection create a naturally warm aesthetic, while our Marvel Meraviglia collection adds a touch of enduring elegance.
Textured & Patterns
The subtle texture and patterns of porcelain tiles can be blended into minimalist living rooms impeccably without overwhelming the space. Matte finished tiles bring an organic and minimalist aesthetic, while glossy tiles reflect the openness of the space. Wall coverings such as simple geometric patterns or 3D wall tiles can be used to add character to the space.
Boho living room: style and design
Porcelain wall and floor tiles are an ideal fit for a boho living room as they combine the simplicity of minimalism with the laid back artistic aesthetic of the bohemian lifestyle. Ceramic tiles replicate the earthy finishes of natural materials, making them the ideal option for adding textures and interest to a boho interior. For a boho living room, try combining porcelain tiles in warm tones with subtle geometric patterns. This pairing adds depth and an artisanal feel, enhancing the relaxed, layered look that defines boho style. Our collection of natural effect tiles is available in a diverse range of colours, textures, and patterns, offering endless design options, helping add the artistic flair found in boho design.
Japandi living room ideas
Porcelain tiles effortlessly merge minimalism with durability, two features which define the Japandi style. Japandi, a fusion of Japanese and Scandinavian design sensibilities, creates beautifully unique spaces that are practical, bright, and relaxing. The understated beauty of porcelain tiles complements Japandi’s focus on natural calming colour palettes and sustainability. With their ability to mimic natural materials, porcelain tiles add a natural warmth to a Japandi living room, whilst maintaining a natural simplicity. Warmth can be added by creating colour palettes centred around beige and brown, which can then be paired with wood effect flooring.
Scandi living room styles
Porcelain tiles create the perfect foundation for a Scandi living room, as simplicity and natural beauty come together to create a beautiful modern aesthetic. Porcelain tiles, with their clean lines and neutral tones, enhance the open and airy feel typical of Scandinavian interiors, while their subtle textures add a touch of simplicity and natural elegance. These tiles integrate effortlessly with other Scandi elements, such as soft fabrics and wooden accents, creating a harmonious space. Neutral colour palettes are central to Scandinavian design, with shades of white and grey remaining a popular choice for achieving this look.Our collections of tiles, available in a range of elegant neutral shades, offer a streamlined look which creates the perfect canvas for a scandi living room.
