What is Minimalist SREF style

This aesthetic is defined by extreme simplicity, clarity, and the strategic use of negative space. It emphasizes clean compositions, precise geometry, and often utilizes high-key or soft, natural lighting to highlight essential forms, much like the subjects seen in high-end editorial photography. When generating images in this style, a Midjourney prompt should focus on stripping away visual clutter, using limited color palettes, and favoring balance and sharp detail over excessive texture. This approach creates a sense of calm, order, and modern sophistication, perfect for conveying serene environments or highly focused portraits.

Minimalist Prompt Ideas

  • Close-up portrait of a young woman with stark lighting, against a seamless white background, emphasizing facial structure and texture
  • Vast, empty salt flat landscape under a pale blue sky, single small object centered, clean composition, high key lighting
  • Still life of three polished white stones balanced on a raw wooden surface, shadows cast by strong directional light
  • Interior view of a modernist apartment hallway, strong leading lines, overwhelming sense of negative space, muted color palette

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a Midjourney Style Reference (--sref)?

A Style Reference, or SREF, is a powerful feature that lets you use the aesthetic of a reference image to influence the style of your generations. Our library provides the direct SREF code for thousands of styles.

How do I understand and use the Aspect Ratio (--ar) parameter?

The --ar parameter controls the aspect ratio of your image. For example, --ar 16:9 creates a widescreen image. Our guide provides a full list of supported ratios.

Why is my SREF code not working?

Ensure you are using a compatible Midjourney version (v6 or newer) and check for typos. Sometimes, strong keywords in your prompt can override the style; try reducing the style weight (e.g., --sw 250).

Can I use this SREF code with a Character Reference (--cref)?

Yes, --sref and --cref can be used together. This is a powerful combination to maintain a consistent character while applying a consistent style.

Which versions support style reference?

Style Reference is compatible with Midjourney versions 6, 7, and Niji 6.

What is the default image size for Midjourney V7?

Midjourney V7 creates upscaled images at 2048 x 2048 pixels for the default 1:1 aspect ratio.

What is the default style weight and what range can I use?

The default style weight is --sw 100. You can set it between 0 and 1000.
