Textured plasters. Interior in the style of "warm minimalism"

The main difference of "warm minimalism" is its color rate. You shall begin from the basic volume of walls to create a warm and light space. White and neutral colors like ivory, beige and grey are the most suitable for this purpose. Every color from the right half of the color circle is ideal for "warm minimalism". Add halftones, similar to the basic color, avoiding cold shades and the interior will be stylish in warm monochrome. If you like bright colors or cold shades, you should better use them only as accents. Otherwise, big bright spots will create a disgusting effect.
As well as in classical minimalism you may use black accents to create a "graphic" effect.
An important moment is to fill the interior with textures of materials. The interior without them looks flat and dull. Warm minimalism successfully uses textures with stone or its imitation (decorative plasters and coatings), all kinds of timber, metal surfaces, cloth with rough knitting and other textured materials. Avoid plastic and glossy surfaces as they look artificial and cold.
In this article, we tell you about plasters and coatings, which are the best for the design of the premises in a "warm minimalism" style with examples in rooms, where it will be cozy to spend the main part of your time: a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom and even a balcony.

Textured plasters and coatings (MARMORINO, ART BETONE and TRAVERTINO)

Textured plasters and coatings are essential products for the modern interior. MARMORINO, ART BETONE and TRAVERTINO are the products for a unique design.
The very name tells us that this group of decorative plasters and coatings is intended to create some texture. You can add relief and volume to the walls with their help. It can be imitations of natural materials (shell rock, sandstone) or even an artistic improvisation:

with the help of a stencil, you can create dimensional patterns (brickwork, puzzles, flowers and others);
with a film, which you apply on the surface of the coating, press a little forming a texture and then remove it, thus you create a unique texture of wrinkled surface;
with a trowel or a spatula, you can create a textured pattern on the semi-dry surface of stucco - grooves.

There is a great number of examples of the surfaces, you can create with a textured plaster. Although, do not forget about the general interior of the premise. The interior in warm minimalism shall be not overweighted with complicated low reliefs.
The composition of various shades of one color (light beige and beige, light grey and grey) is enough to decorate the walls and make them unique.

Coloring textured plasters and coatings

MARMORINO, ART BETONE and TRAVERTINO are white. If you want to add color to the plaster, you have 2 options:

Add a pigment concentrate Farbex Color or other pigment pastes to the textured plaster or coating or color it in a tinting machine.
The more pigment you add to the textured plaster, the richer the color. Although we recommend adding less than 10% of pigment concentrate to keep the properties.
Tint the wax. It is easy to tint it manually or in a tinting machine. Decorative waxes Cera and CERA FRONTALE allow adding a decorative effect to the plaster, protecting against damage and moisture effect.

Textured plasters and coatings in the style of "warm minimalism"

5 main features of the "warm minimalism" style:

much air, light and practical separation for zones;
laconic and functional furniture in one style;
minimum of decoration;
clear lines;
built-in household appliances.

Kitchen

A modern kitchen is not only the room, where you cook and eat. It is quite a good place for work and spending free time.
The core of the kitchen in a minimal style is a well-planned design.
A cooking zone is conditionally separated from a dining zone. The backsplash is coated with tile and the walls at the dining table are coated with decorative plaster with a natural stone or concrete effect (ART BETONE). The kitchen interior in a minimalistic style alives precisely the accented wall.
The feeling of warmth is achieved due to the yellow light and wood.
The kitchen furniture is simple and functional. The block of high penal cupboards with built-in household appliances and roomy modules for storing are the integral parts of such an interior. The facades are plain and smooth, the pattern resembles the texture of the accented wall with textured plaster.
The massive wooden dining table becomes lighter with black сhrome legs, and the seats of the kitchen chairs receive an appropriate pattern.

Living room

A living room is a good space not only for having rest but also for work if you complete a good interior, where you will feel comfortable. We recommend you make one accented wall but with a decorative relief plaster MARMORINO. With this textured coating, it is easy to form a pattern "map of the world". There are two things, which make your "warm minimalism" really cozy:

Plants. You can choose flowers with a special shape of leaves and rich color. But if you have no time to take care of them, you can just put some branches into the vase. The main thing is not to overload the interior, everything shall look natural.
The daylight. Do not cover the windows with curtains completely because the light brings life to the place of living.

You can add a floor carpet to the interior of the room to feel cozy, but it shall have a long nap but no patterns. You'd better buy a floor carpet of restrained colors to combine it with the interior in harmony.

Bedroom

You can create a working atmosphere even in a bedroom. A small room can contain a bed, a wardrobe and a table. The largest wall as usual at the head of the bed can be decorated with textured plasters of pastel colors. There must be a nightstand near the bed for comfort, so you can hide there some small things for a night. You can also add some flowers, a plaid, a carpet and an ottoman of interesting texture.
But there shall be no odd things in the bedroom, the things you don't use, because it ruins the whole concept of minimalism. If you remove all the odd things from the walls, you will feel the air in the room and your eyes will really rest.

Balcony

You are not mistaken, even this place can be prepared for a comfortable time spent.
A balcony in any house (brick, monolith, panel) is a premise with great temperature and moisture fluctuation. But if you prepare the surfaces correctly and follow all directions from the manufacturer, decorative plasters will serve you for years.
Textured plasters ART BETONE and TRAVERTINO can easily bare these conditions, as they are intended for interior and exterior works.
A delicate look of textured plasters ART BETONE and TRAVERTINO creates a unique interior for your balcony, and white shelves for things storage bring the space in order.
