Warm minimalism is all the rage in the interiors industry this year, but like quiet luxury, this simple yet sophisticated aesthetic is surprisingly easy to achieve and doesn't necessarily require a big budget. there is no.
Unlike its cooler, more clinical sisters, the warm, minimalist interior promises to exude more character and comfort in a clean, functional space. This was the goal of interior design firm Clement Design, which was tasked with designing and planning Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi's former mansion. The result is a welcoming, calm and uncluttered space that embodies the tranquil luxury trend.
The easiest way to achieve this look is to imitate nature at its best, as Clement Design does. Inspired by the colors of nature, warm minimalism adds a gentle, soothing touch to interiors with layered textures and tones that ebb and flow with the seasons.
The key is to keep this look as simple as possible. Pick one or two pieces of furniture or artwork to serve as the backbone of the room, and draw on colors and shapes for ideas for the rest of your decor.
When in doubt, start with your flooring. In Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi's home, dark floors serve as a precursor to the colors and tones used elsewhere. Decorating with browns and taupes creates a sense of calm in the room, evoking a sense of calm and tranquility, making it perfect for the entrance to your home.
“Using a natural palette means adding depth and contrast to the different layers and textures,” says Jane Landino, head of creative at Taylor Howes Studio. “To make a warm, minimalist color palette feel designed and thought out, it's important to mix and match neutrals with patterns, shapes, and the occasional accent color. Just because it's beige or brown, it's important to mix and match. It doesn’t have to be plain.”
