Discover warm minimalism, the trend that is sweeping the world.
There is a decorative style that has been triumphing in European homes for the last year and which AD magazine has been describing for some time now in several articles. This is warm minimalism, a trend in interior design that combines a clean and functional aesthetic, typical of traditional minimalism, with some touches of warmth and comfort through textiles, colours and decoration.
Warm minimalism is the latest trend and can be seen in a number of editorials and thousands of Instagram posts. It is precisely on this social network, but also on Pinterest, where we can see more photos of warm minimalist houses.
If you want to recreate this style at home, focus on designing simple, but cosy and harmonious spaces that integrate numerous natural materials, soft colours and decorative details that bring wellbeing without overloading the environment. Have you taken note?
Key elements of the warm minimalist trendy style
1. A palette of soft colours and warm tones.
The main colours will be neutral and serene, unobtrusive but cosy. Examples of shades to use: beige, sand, terracotta, brown, light grey and off-white. They bring a sense of calm and help to create an enveloping atmosphere. Accents of earthy colours should be rather subtle, e.g. oranges, mustards or browns, so as not to break the overall harmony.
2. Use of natural materials
In warm minimalist houses , the most common materials are 100% natural, such as wood (in light or medium colours), linen, cotton, wool, stone or ceramics, all of which are essential in this style.
These elements add shapes, textures and volumes that bring visual and tactile warmth. Wood, above all, is key, both in furniture and in decorative details, as it softens the coldness that a pure minimalist style might cast.
3. Practical furniture with simple lines
Furniture in warm minimalism tends to have clean lines and a functional design, but without being cold. It is preferable to decorate with comfortable furniture, with upholstery in natural fabrics and neutral colours. Simple, ergonomically designed pieces that invite relaxation or escape are also well integrated into these environments.
4. Warm, natural lighting
In decoration, lighting is fundamental and it is not always used well. To generate greater warmth in the atmosphere, it is necessary to make the most of natural light, with large windows and light curtains. No furniture that obstructs or restricts the entry of light.
At night, warm lights in yellowish tones should be used with simple lamps or some indirect light points (floor lamps or wall sconces), which help to create a relaxing atmosphere.
5. Subtle but meaningful accessories
Although minimalism favours few ornaments, warm minimalism incorporates a few elements into the décor that add value without overloading the space.
To do this well, it is recommended to add green leafy houseplants, handcrafted ceramic or stoneware pieces, plant fibre rugs along with soft wool, cotton or linen plaids and cushions. These details will add personality to the space, making it more lived-in and authentic.
6. Decoration based on order and open, uncluttered spaces.
The minimalist style avoids clutter and prioritises open spaces. This is maintained in the warm minimalism that is a trend in today's homes.
Furniture and accessories will be placed in a way that allows a fluid circulation and a relaxed, uncluttered atmosphere. To achieve this, organisation is key, leaving only the necessary and functional elements in sight.
It is also necessary to distribute the furniture correctly so that moving around the room is easier and the passage of light is not obstructed.
