Jonas Bonér wrote a very nice article on The Art of Minimalistic Design. Let me quote his thought of what minimalism is,
“…where the work is stripped down to its most fundamental features and core self expression”.
I love minimalist design for its sheer simplicity. Minimalism does away the unnecessary frills and presenting a user-interface that is pleasing to the eyes and easy to navigate. Isn’t that the essence of a great design?
So today I’d like present to you 10+1 of – what I think – the best minimalist WordPress themes you’ll probably love. Though not in any order of preference.
#1 Merdeka
#2 unGrid
#3 Grady
#4 Japanese Cherry Blossom
#5 Minimalist
#6 Modicus
#7 IAMWW
#8 sIMPRESS
#9 Trevilian Way
#10 Modern
#11 The Winter Styled
What do you think? Do you have any special preference for any of the above themes? How about your opinions and thoughts on the theme I’m using?

Hey there. I love your blog design although it’s not completely yours. I’ve been watching Speckyboy’s works since the first time I found his website which was a few months ago and I admit, I really love The Winter Styled as well. You chose the right theme. :)
And thanks too for your comment and precious time you spent on Pelangi Petang. Feel free to come again. :)
Bookmarked your blog. Maybe you’ll be on my Link Love someday. :)
Hey Fath,
Appreciate your time to drop by and thanks for the bookmark. Yeah, I hope one day I could design a minimalist theme I could call my own. The day shouldn’t be too long though. It’s in the pipeline.
I like Grady and Trevilian Way. With a little customization they can be a nice CMS homepage theme.
Oh yes, both of them are as good as the other themes. As in most cases, minimalistic design requires less customization which is good from the user’s perspective.
It is well seen that you have spent much time and effort writing content for your blog. It is really a valuable resource for those who’d wish to begin blogging and dont’ know what to start with. Thank you very much!
Love the themes, especially #6, 7, 10, 11
I’m a huge fan of simple wordpress themes and Modicus is looking really nice to me

I think #7 is an awesome theme. Having a minimalist theme is way better than one that is fulled with widgets, ads, and all sorts of other stuff. I have actually just cut back on some of the things on my blog to make it a little more simplified.
I’m diggin’ #7 IAMWW, very nice looking wordpress templates. Three columns is the way to go, it looks very organized and perfect if you want to post some affiliate sides on the right side if you want. I mean that’s why we are into blogging right? To make money and have fun! You have to choose a template that looks sharp and organized, but still have an area where you can put some ads in that blend in with the template. I think IAMWW is perfect, definitely going to download that one, thanks!
wow…very minimalistic themes I like it very much.
