Blank space is a commonly used design technique in minimalist style. It is dominated by simplicity and purity. Everywhere you look, there are neat lines and just the right blank space, which makes the space elegant and advanced, and leaves more room for imagination.

Note that “white space” here doesn’t mean leaving white, but rather leaving empty areas! In the decoration, by using simple colors, the visual focus is focused on the position that is left blank, which can make the whole space more aesthetic.

How to leave blank space to look advanced
Design is not a simple pile of materials, but a blank space to highlight the theme that the space wants to express. So, what kind of blank space can be more advanced?

1. Create visual focus
If there is only a large area of blank space, but there is no clear theme expression, the whole space will lose its luster. The blank space must have a visual focus, even if it is just a lamp, so that it can set off with the blank area and combine virtual and real, so that it has both artistic conception and unique aesthetic feeling.


2. Advanced only if there is comparison
Too bright colors are easy to stimulate vision, and all white may appear monotonous and lack of life. Here, I recommend you to try Morandi color system, which is neither flamboyant nor gorgeous, and contains full style.

Blank space must have contrast to be more precious, and blank space without contrast is incomplete. It is the contrast produced by this contrast that can highlight the high-end sense and unique charm of white space.

3. “Borrow” the beautiful scenery
Urban residential units are usually compact, and try not to use partitions when possible, which can improve the lighting and functionality of the space.
However, in a space with strong permeability, the blank space should be coordinated with the whole, and the integrity and unity should be considered at the beginning of the design. For example, the following cases skillfully use the scenery of the balcony to echo the blank space, making the whole space environment more vivid and vivid.


The dining room should also adopt a unified design language, embellished with coordinated tones, and it is best to see the same colors and elements in other spaces.

In particular, the blank space in the restaurant can visually improve the quality of the dining atmosphere and make the restaurant environment appear simple and generous. Clean and refreshing environment, even your appetite will improve.

White space is like this, striking a balance between one collection and one release, without too much modification, and a light stroke of charm is the true meaning of white space.
After seeing all the bustle, noise and disturbance, I can still keep a pure and peaceful heart.
