The Art of Simplicity

Start the new year fresh and embrace a clean slate with the return of minimalism.

28th January 2025

Creating a homely, inviting atmosphere is still a top priority for many. So, take it back to basics this year and focus on the details with simple living.

This season, be inspired by simplicity. Minimalism is updated for 2025, with New Minimalism combining simplicity, comfort, and refinement. Adding texture, natural materials and earthy palettes warms up minimalist schemes. Find out how you can incorporate the trend into your own home below.

Swap Pattern for Texture to Create Interest

Allow texture to do the talking and create a layered look with a range of techniques and finishes.

Creating a sense of comfort and warmth starts with texture. Use pattern sparingly. Instead, focus on using designs with abundant texture and earthy colourways. Layer techniques such as basket weaves, jacquards, and geometricsSheers work well in minimalist spaces too. Create an inviting window space by layering boucle-effect sheers and embroidered designs. Contrast more delicate fabrics with rugged materials such as concrete, jute, and rattan.

Adopt a Less is More Approach to Furnishings and Accessories

Declutter your home for the new year and be selective with accessories and furniture.

Choose furniture and accessories sparingly, getting rid of anything in a space that causes it to become cluttered. Ensure the focus remains on statement pieces. Dress furniture in scatter cushions and throws in delicate embroideries and weaves. New Minimalism is all about layering contrasting textures, leaving a space feeling lived-in. So, pair these with wooden accents, rattan rugs, and faux fur throws for a curated feel. Favour indoors plants for accessories. Greenery in textured concrete and ceramic pots add those all-important hints of nature.

Allow Nature to Inspire Your Colour Palette

Earthy hues are going nowhere in 2025. Warm and inviting colourways inspired by the outdoors are central to the New Minimalism trend.

With a less is more approach in mind, keep your palette contained to three choices. Use varying shades of each hue for balance. Select warming neutrals such as pampas and almond through to honey and clay. Add flashes of subtle colour through accessories. Hues of basil and amber create interest without being too overpowering. Items such as scatter cushions, throws and even lampshades are ideal for presenting colour, as they can be swapped out seasonally.

Consider the Layout of Your Room

New Minimalism encourages us to streamline our spaces, boosting wellbeing and productivity.

Low-slung furniture and laid-back seating areas such as benches promote relaxation. Cover with scatter cushions, throws, and soft accessories in a mix of textures. Invest in soft furnishings that you can sink into and relax, such as a boucle armchair, or a sofa in an inviting weave. Position these towards the edge of a room for a cosy corner to relax and unwind. This also makes the room feel larger. Group multiple furnishings or accessories together to avoid a scattered look.
