Minimalism can be a dangerous aesthetic to desire, particularly when it comes to a family home. Done wrong, it can fall flat, feeling empty and lacking. But as those who know, know, minimalism is not merely about an absence of things, but rather a philosophy that sees each piece having intention and purpose.
The design principle has been executed with an air of effortlessness in this sprawling 8,600 square foot family home in Houston, Texas. Interior designer Nina Magon, founder and principal at Nina Magon Studio, described the brief as clear and detailed. 'The goal was to create a tranquil and elegant environment that would serve as a sanctuary for the family,' she explains. 'Inspiration was drawn from contemporary art, sophisticated materials, and the harmonious interplay of colors of textures.'
