The Art of Restraint in Interior Design

Restraint in interior design is neither minimalism nor austerity — it is the discipline of selecting only what is excellent and giving it the space to be appreciated. It is the confidence to leave a beautiful wall bare rather than filling it with art that is merely adequate. It is the judgment to choose three exceptional materials for a room rather than six mediocre ones. It is the courage to edit a design until only the essential elements remain — and the conviction that this editing makes the result more beautiful, not less.
