When we think of the minimalist style, we think of clean simplicity and crisp lines. For sure these characteristics embody the minimalist way, but there is more than one way to crack an egg. These four home designs each explore an entirely different approach to minimalism in interiors, offering takes on abstract Russian minimalism, brutalist inspired spaces, mid century vibes and cutting edge modernity.

We thought this post would pertain to everyone since most of us live indoors and in major cities where the air quality outdoors has been shown to be cleaner than the air inside of our homes.
