The minimalist approach to furniture and decor is one I come back to time and time again.

Whether or not you actually intend to live with the concept, I think most of us are drawn to the clean lines and quiet yet strong presence that minimalist pieces deliver without fuss—as the saying goes, "Clear space, clear mind."
But don't be fooled by the simplicity of minimalism: The most uncomplicated-looking designs usually have the most thought behind them.

Large Cube Planter: $130
This is such a minimalist piece, but it has so much going on. This glass cube planter sits on one flat edge to appear as if it's floating, and the askew design forces you to think carefully about the composition of your living arrangement. Or you can just leave it empty and call it art.
Curve Pet Bed: $200
For those who insist their pets don't mess with the sleek lines of their minimalist abodes, there is an alternative to the fluffy, furry bed that lies on the floor.
This version mounts on the wall, and while I'm not sure how your cat or dog gets up there (unless it's close to the floor), don't you think your little guy would make a neat wall hanging?
This is also a great way to get texture into your space, unless you've got a Mexican hairless.
Box Sofa Compact, Oak: $6,775
On profile, a sofa doesn't get much more minimalist than this one fashioned from a solid wooden box. However, the combination of the wood grain and fabric in a sleek rectangular form make it a standout piece that will pop with a few thoughtfully chosen pieces.
