First, the modern minimalist style originated from the "modern art movement" that arose in the 1960s in the West. Simplicity was developed on the basis of rebelling against the retro trend and minimalist aesthetics in the mid-1980s, and began to be integrated into the field of interior design in the early 1990s. At the same time, minimalist style also appeared in the clothing industry.

Second, the characteristics of modern minimalist style:

1 The design elements, colors, lighting and raw materials are simplified to the minimum, but the quality requirements for colors and materials are very high. Therefore, simple space design is usually very implicit, which can often achieve twice the result with half the effort and win with simplicity.

2. Use new materials and technologies to create an indoor environment adapted to modern life, with simplicity and understanding as the main features, and attach importance to the use function of indoor space.

3. Advocating to abandon unnecessary and complicated additional decoration and follow the fashion in color and modeling. Simplicity does not mean simplicity.

Minimalist style is characterized by simplifying design elements, colors, lighting and raw materials to a minimum, but it requires high quality of colors and materials. Therefore, simple space design is usually very subtle, which can often achieve twice the result with half the effort and win with simplicity. It is a popular design style in the international community today-concise and lively minimalism, which meets people's perceptual, instinctive and rational needs for space environment with concise expression. Modern people's fast pace, high frequency and full load have been accepted beyond measure. In this increasingly busy life, people are eager to get a space where they can completely relax and adjust the spirit of transformation with simplicity and purity. This is people's desire to get rid of triviality and complexity and pursue simplicity and nature under the control of complementary consciousness. Minimalism was developed on the basis of rebelling against the retro trend and minimalist aesthetics in the mid-1980s, and began to be integrated into the field of interior design in the early 1990s. At the same time, minimalist style has emerged in the clothing industry: the modeling of clothing has been simplified, and attention has been paid to the kung fu of cutting and the texture of cloth.

The "Modern Art Movement", which originated in the 1960s in the West, is characterized by using new materials and technologies to create an indoor environment adapted to modern life, taking simplicity as the main feature and attaching importance to the use function of indoor space. According to the principle of functional distinction of interior layout, furniture layout and space should be closely coordinated, and it is advocated to abandon redundant and cumbersome additional decoration and keep up with fashion in color and modeling.

The famous saying "Less is more" by European modernist architect Mies van der Rohe is considered to represent the core idea of minimalism.
