Crimsons and yellows bring happiness but can also be too energetic. If you go for earthly hues, though, they will introduce a sense of calmness because they will remind your clients of nature.<\/p>\n<p>A good idea is to have a main colour \u2013 such as beige \u2013combined with different accessories in the room in a secondary tone \u2013 such as rosewood.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> Natural Fabrics<img class=\"wp-image-540 size-full alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/hole-fires.png\" alt=\"hole fires\" width=\"397\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/hole-fires.png 397w, https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/hole-fires-300x226.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 397px) 100vw, 397px\" \/><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>To complement the feeling of coming back to nature, it is very important that the fabrics in the room \u2013 the upholstery of armchairs and sofas, the carpets on the floor \u2013 are also organic and from comfortable materials.<\/p>\n<p>Consider using curtains too, because they can provide your clients with extra privacy whilst reducing the noise from outside. Besides, they can also be used to regulate the light in a given room.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong> Green Plants<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>To achieve a truly minimalist style you need to get rid of any sort of decoration that is not functional. However, plants are one item you must have inside because they transmit a lot of calmness. Choose for your clients those species that look beautiful all year round and require minimal care, such as succulents or bamboo.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong> Remove Electronic Disturbances<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Technology has many advantages, but it can also be the origin of a great deal of stress. Therefore, you don\u2019t want to make a television or computer the focal point of a room. Your clients should feel their homes as inviting spaces where they can take a breath from the outside world.<\/p>\n<p>You can keep these devices camouflaged inside the rooms by placing them in a discrete area or hiding them in special cupboards. Make sure you are also hiding wires that can make the space look messy.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong> <img class=\"wp-image-539 size-full alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/electric-fires-1.png\" alt=\"Modern Fireplace\" width=\"351\" height=\"230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/electric-fires-1.png 351w, https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/electric-fires-1-300x197.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 351px) 100vw, 351px\" \/>Minimalist Fires<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you\u2019re getting rid of almost all decorative items and electronic devices, you still need a focal point for each room.
