What is Warm Minimalism interior design?
Minimalism with the chill taken out - the same disciplined, uncluttered layouts in greige, oat and warm stone, with tactile linen, wool and pale timber. Calm and restrained, but inviting rather than austere.
How to get the Warm Minimalism look
- Palette: greige, oat, mushroom, warm stone, putty — warm neutrals only
- Materials: linen, wool, bouclé (sparingly), pale oak, travertine, plaster
- Furniture: low, soft, rounded silhouettes; uncluttered with lots of negative space
- Lighting: soft, warm, diffused; paper or linen shades
- Accessories: a few tactile organic pieces — stoneware, a single branch
- Mood: calm, tactile, quietly lived-in
What to avoid
- Cold greys, stark bright white or blue-toned neutrals
- Clutter or busy pattern
- High-gloss, chrome or high-contrast black-and-white
- Over-using bouclé so it reads dated
