MINIMALIST/PRAIRIE

MINIMALIST/PRAIRIE:

Prairie Style is also used to describe a trend in design and architecture where in the subject is reduced to its necessary elements designed and inspired by the famous Architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It used vertical and horizontal lines for the Design. Mostly, this home is inspired as if you were living by Nature within Nature.

Are you the type of person that wants a clutter free living? Minimalist Style can be a perfect choice. Minimalist design has been highly influenced by Japanese traditional design and architecture. The structure’s beauty is also determined by playing with lighting, using the basic geometric shapes as outlines, using only a single shape or a small number of like shapes for components for design unity, using tasteful non-fussy bright colour combinations, usually natural textures and colours, and clean and fine finishes. Using sometimes the beauty of natural patterns on stone cladding and real wood encapsulated within ordered simplified structures, and real metal producing a simplified but prestigious architecture and interior design. May use colour brightness balance and contrast between surface colours to improve visual aesthetics. The structure would usually have industrial and space age style utilities (lamps, stoves, stairs, technology, etc.), neat and straight components (like walls or stairs) that appear to be machined with machines, flat or nearly flat roofs, pleasing negative spaces, and large windows to let in lots of sunlight. This and science fiction may have contributed to the late twentieth century futuristic architecture design, and modern home decor. Modern minimalist home architecture with its unnecessary internal walls removed probably has led to the popularity of the open plan kitchen and living room style.
