My nerdy boyfriend likes to inform me daily of the dictionary.com "Word of the Day". I usually try to sound interested and excited, but most of the time it's really hard....love ya babe :) However, today it paid off!
Today's "Word of the Day" is BEDAUB!
Bedaub:
To overdecorate; to ornament showily or excessively.
Obviously, this is something that should be avoided when designing a space. Before selecting furniture or accessories for a room, you should always ask yourself:
- Is it necessary?
- Does it go with the current scheme? Just because it's nice doesnt mean it fits.
- Will it complement the other items in your room, or will it overcrowd and clutter the space?
- Is there an appropriate spot to put it? Even the best pieces can look awkward if not placed properly.
Simplicity is a key concept that every modern designer should keep in mind, so don't forget the cliche that "less is more", and listen to your nerdy boyfriends.

| While this may not seem minimalist due to the abundance of throw pillows, the lack of furniture and accessories otherwise balances the space out accordingly. |
 |
| Often the key to success with minimalist designs is to work with a bold statement piece, and allow it to be the sole focal point. |
 |
| Minimalism is the main concept behind any modern design. |
