If you’re looking for a home style with a gentle aesthetic that’s naturally calming, yet also quietly luxurious, minimaluxe could be the answer. This latest trend builds on the timeless simplicity of minimalism, putting quality, elegance and comfort at its heart.
Minimaluxe goes beyond clearing away a bit of clutter but not so far as to leave a stark monastic feel. Maximising a sense of space and light with pared back organic colours, complementary natural materials, curves and soft corners will turn your home into a refuge of serenity that appeals to all your senses.
When pulling together your minimaluxe scheme, consider how your space can support your emotional wellbeing as well as be practical for everyday use. Think about how you use your home on a daily basis then arrange your furniture to aid your routine and make the most of natural daylight.

Pick out a few soft colours that calm your spirits, keeping the palette light and neutral with a focus on shades inspired by the local landscape - stone, earth, water and plants. Then introduce curvy soft furnishings in tactile fabrics and elements that emotionally speak to you and bring joy, such as an inherited piece of furniture, a meaningful piece of art or a bookcase of your favourite reads.
When it comes to choosing decorative surfaces, opt for products that are not only hard wearing and easy to care for but also designed to protect air quality and have superior acoustic benefits to reduce noise disturbance.
Choose materials that will stand the test of time. There’s nothing more frustrating than finding that your décor has become tatty in just a few short years. Designed to last a lifetime, it’s good to know that our flooring will continue to look as amazing as the day it was installed.

A contrast in materials will produce a subtle yet thoughtful scheme that has depth and personality. Consider using a textured wall paint effect, mix cool stone and warm wood or add pattern with flooring.
You could create an effortless sense of flow and space with one of our herringbone or chevron designs. Alternatively, recreate the look of floorboards using design strips or lay flooring at an angle to make a small room feel more generous.

With a consistent thickness, you can even combine our stone and wood designs for a bespoke floor that’s unique to you. With many authentic wood and stone designs to choose from, our flooring offers endless laying options as well as a practical surface that’s easy to keep clean and is super comfortable underfoot.
The end result will be a peaceful space where all the different textures, colours and materials blend seamlessly and are easy on the eye, soothing nerves so you can find healing moments of quiet and mindfulness.
