12 Cozy Minimalist Decor Ideas
By adding texture, plants, and items that are functional and decorative your home can be minimal yet still cozy.
For instance, a record player can be decorative and plays music.
Plants are decorative and they clean the air and add color to a room.
Walls can have added interest and texture with some removable wallpaper.
Food can be kept in a beautiful jar adding visual interest, but also being practical at the same time.

Minimalist Bedroom Decor
Here are 4 great examples of different minimalist bedrooms. In this first picture, you can see a chair used as a side table.
This is a great idea! Maybe you don’t need this extra chair very often.

Why is a color not minimalist? Minimalism is how much stuff you have.
Below you can see a very bright colorful room that only has what it needs in it.
In this room, they are using their clothing rack as decoration.
That is an excellent idea especially when you are short on space.
Instead of having a random piece of decor, use something you already have.
For instance, clothes can be used in a pretty decorative way.
This clothing rack is super affordable and looks really stylish.

My bedroom is minimalist but still very cozy. The walls are mauve (Benjamin Moore “Hidden Sanctuary”), my drapes are eggplant, the furniture is dark brown (antique, my mother’s bedroom set), the three pieces of art on the walls are soothing and meaningful to me.
I think if you’re going to do color and minimalism, stick with one basic color and use different shades and variations of it.
Thank you so much for your color suggestion. Your room sounds very calm and pretty.
