Hello, Hive friends.
I want to talk about a design that makes me think a lot. Minimalist design that I currently find a lot. Coffee shops that apply a lot of minimalist design are the last time I remember.
"Room space" is a place I visited some time ago when I needed coffee. There were several passengers in the group who asked me to take them to the airport. I finally stopped by this place for a coffee and dinner menu. It's not food or drinks that I'm going to talk about. The design of this place inspired me to write a blog about the topic I wrote about today.
This design is too simple in my mind. Often I think that is why so many customers choose the place like this. Is this a trend? Apparently, yes. That's what I thought.
In the title, I made about the problem of savings. I thought about how many opportunities could be taken from the financiers when conceptualizing places like this.
In this minimalist design, there are not many items with variety that I can find. The colors in a stylish place like this also don't look bright. Here and there it's only white, or black, brown, or the natural color of the leaves that I see. Not a lot of stuff or layout arrangements here and there in my opinion including savings. Building owners can save at once if they manage to implement a good minimalist design.
This minimalist design that I saw looks charming, and classy. Not like a low-budget place even though I know they don't over budget. They only do tricks like magic.
One of the interesting things I saw was how they used the parapet to produce a good vantage point.
For example, on the wall that separates the outside area before entering with the inside, they use hollow bricks. Simple but managed to create a lot of views. The perforated bricks manage to be a good background if visitors want to take photos using this dividing wall.
Another dividing wall is used as a light canvas. The lights from the wall-mounted lamps create some nice shapes. A dividing wall that has many functions.
Foliage that looks like an area guardrail is also a good idea in my opinion. The selection of green plants that are neatly arranged together in color and size will look clean and refresh the planted area.
Another idea that can save money on building a place is to use small gravel and natural cement for the floor in my opinion. The concept of an outdoor place is perfect for using small pebbles and natural cement.
Small pebbles arranged neatly will not cause any problems. Only need to pay attention to sharply pointed gravel that can injure the feet. Another benefit of the outdoors, they can suppress the growth of grasses.
The use of natural cement can be used for outdoors or indoors. Natural cement will reduce costs compared to using ceramic, granite, or synthetic grass. Natural cement will not look cheap if it is combined with a minimalist context in the selection of other designs, such as the walls.
White paint costs less than other colored paints. When I was a child, our parents avoided white because they only caused trouble. The walls of the house look very scary with a white color that will quickly get dirty by dust or the friction of the skin of the occupants of the house.
Currently, white looks like a lot of choice for a minimalist design that looks luxurious. Cleanliness is expensive and luxurious in my opinion.
White walls can suppress the budget. It just needs extra maintenance to keep it clean.
Textured walls can help solve the problem of white walls. Looks to have art on the walls and the walls look more solid.
The things that I discussed earlier seem to be quite a big reason to suppress the low budget in an era that is still a minimalist trend like today. Don't miss the opportunity.
