Trends are constantly changing, but minimalist style is always at forefront of fashion. This style of design seems simple, but it's actually a test of building's sense of proportion and furniture placement.
Let's compare two options of pure white and pure black to feel charm of minimalism?
pure white
Sanya Sumei Tianya Coast Boutique Hotel
from: Design on Ridge
Located near coastline, entire facade of hotel is designed in plain colors.
Warm yellow lighting looks natural and fresh.
The hotel lobby is a complex space that integrates functions such as reception, lounge, check-in and afternoon tea.
The designer captures cosmic mood well with pure white tones, lines move freely in continuous arches, and dynamic impression of space is complete.
The inner and outer pattern reduces number of partitions so guests can find best viewing angle whether they are sitting, standing or walking.
The design of room is well thought out to express relationship between light and shadow, which is very aesthetically pleasing.
pure black
from: Roman Vlasov
The overall tone of Roman's pure black hotel work is harsh and direct, with strong expressive power.
Interior design uses materials such as marble and wood to enhance sense of hierarchy in terms of texture.
The light strips built into ceiling make space not monotonous, making it beautiful and quiet.
