With a number of minimalist fireplaces on offer, we shall look at the style of minimalism and how you can achieve the look.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Simple Colours<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>One of the most important features of creating a minimalist space is the use of simple colours. A minimalist room would never feature loud or busy wallpaper and is unlikely to include a number of bright colours. As a general rule, subdued colours such as white, stone and taupe are best, but an accent of solid colour is always welcomed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-631\" src=\"https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/1469453430-8658.png\" alt=\"Minimalist Fireplace\" width=\"640\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/1469453430-8658.png 919w, https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/1469453430-8658-300x181.png 300w, https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/1469453430-8658-768x463.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Basic Patterns<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Minimalism doesn\u2019t have to mean a complete lack of pattern or design in your space, but patterns should be carefully selected. Using big and bold patterns such as stripes is a great way of adding a little personality into a space that is otherwise simply designed.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Clutter-Free<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A true minimalist home should be relatively clutter-free, leaving clean and clear spaces. A minimalist fireplace will often fit well into this style as many designs do not take up floor space but are integrated into the original aesthetic and layout of the room.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-632\" src=\"https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/1469454541-4790.png\" alt=\"Minimalist Fire\" width=\"640\" height=\"385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/1469454541-4790.png 900w, https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/1469454541-4790-300x181.png 300w, https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/1469454541-4790-768x463.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Natural Materials<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In a minimalist home, you will often find plenty of natural materials, giving the space a stripped back look. Materials such as stone, timber and slate are popular choices and can go a long way to giving your home a warmer feeling \u2013 something that is often necessary for a simplistic home which can have a cold and empty feeling if not executed properly.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Uncomplicated Artwork<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Without a few extra details, a minimalist home can seem cold and rather unwelcoming. However, by adding a few simple pieces of artwork, you can create a minimalist room that makes you want to actually sit down and spend time in it.<\/p>\n<p>There are many ways in which you can create a minimalist style in your home, and we know that our beautiful fireplaces can be used to truly complete the look.
