9 minimalist masterpieces from Rowen & Wren that showcase the modern monastery trend – for a soulful, stripped-back home

A sitting room with an olive green sofa and soft furnishings.

At Homes & Gardens, we’ve been drawn to a new kind of minimalism – one that feels quieter, more grounded, and enduring. Modern-monastery style celebrates a home that is calm and considered, where beauty emerges from simplicity and materials are appreciated in their most honest form.

For this aesthetic, Rowen & Wren offers pieces that perfectly embody a slower, more soulful way of living. This edit highlights nine of our favourite finds for a home that embraces restraint without ever feeling austere. Think tactile wood, raw ceramics, iron details, and sculptural linens – minimalist decor with depth that brings clarity and presence to a room. The emphasis is on tone, texture, and form rather than ornamentation or fleeting trends.
