Five minimalist homes for spring clean inspiration

Siverlake

If you’re a fan of neat and tidy lines and are the sort of person who can’t leave a room unless the TV remote is button-side-up, you will absolutely adore this striking Dorset home.

This is avant-garde architecture with room to grow. The cubic design of the Corner House combines minimalist simplicity with cutting edge contemporary construction to deliver a delightful space.

Strategically placed roof lights flood the holiday home with natural light and large open-plan living areas offer a sociable space to relax and enjoy the far-reaching views across the nature reserve – not to mention all those straight lines are insanely satisfying.

Wenlock Road

This beautifully designed apartment immediately soothes the soul and feels like the perfect place to relax and destress after a long week at work in the city.

The property overlooks Regent’s Canal in one of the most sought-after buildings in North London. A full refurbishment has been carried out by interior designers, Yam Studios, who’ve created a minimal, monochrome scheme that accentuates the feeling of space and air offered by the 15ft high, fully glazed outlook.

The designers say: “At YAM Studios we appreciate the beautiful simplicity of minimalism and follow this principle in all our projects. Achieving ultimate minimalism is all about clever storage and attention to detail, leaving you with a perfect calm interior.”

Ullswater Close

When you think of ultimate getaways and retreats, your mind may wander to Thai islands or other tropical outposts, but this sublimely minimalist property is nestled away in a corner of the capital.

This five-bedroom detached house enjoys a privileged position at the end of a secluded cul-de-sac and has a clean, minimalist feel with light, spacious rooms set off a 9-metre high atrium hallway.

The straightforward layout creates clarity in plan, where spaces are predictable and uncomplicated. It avoids lots of ins and outs and complex curves or angles. The roof is also characteristic of minimalism.

Barnet Lane

This futuristic-looking property manages to combine crisp edges and an uncomplicated interior with the end result culminating in something akin to a classy sci-fi film set.

Minimalist contemporary chic would best describe what’s on offer. A dramatic split-level entrance hall with a curved glass-panelled feature staircase greet all who enter. From here on, the property doesn’t disappoint with ground floor highlights including a professional standard cinema room with smart surround sound technology.

The kitchen blends into the background in true chameleon style and for those that choose to set the mood, while the Lutron lighting and Creston Home Automation system will keep you nicely preoccupied.

Over Street

This award-winning landmark contemporary house is a showcase for Danish innovation.

Treetops, which has featured on BBC1’s ‘To Build or Not To Build’ as well as featuring in a Self-Build & Design magazine and in a Danish national newspaper, was inspired by Scandinavian living.

But the minimalist style of the house doesn’t equal throwing out all your possessions; it has more to do with choosing order, clarity, calmness, and intention. It’s light and airy and links beautifully to the world outside.
