Minimal art emerged as a dominant movement in the 1960s, characterised by its focus on the fundamental elements of form, color, and material. Over the years, this movement has had a significant impact on modern interior design and architecture.

In interior design, minimalism emphasises simplicity, clean lines, and a neutral color palette. Minimalist spaces are uncluttered, with only essential pieces of furniture and decor. This aesthetic creates a sense of calmness, order, and functionality, which is particularly appealing in today's fast-paced world. Minimalism in interior design often utilises natural materials, such as wood, stone, and concrete, to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

In architecture, minimalism is characterised by an emphasis on function, form, and simplicity. Minimalist buildings feature clean lines, simple shapes, and minimal ornamentation. They often incorporate large windows, which allow natural light to flow in and create a sense of openness. The use of sustainable and eco-friendly materials is also prevalent in minimalist architecture.

The impact of minimal art on modern interior design and architecture can be seen in numerous examples worldwide. In interior design, minimalism has become a popular aesthetic for homes, offices, and public spaces. In architecture, minimalist buildings can be found in cities worldwide, ranging from residential homes to skyscrapers.
