The days of believing that the art of minimalism equates to stark show-room-like homes that offer nothing but plenty of white space and beige, beige, and more beige are over. Instead, in 2025, we’re seeing a shift towards cozy minimalism.
“Cozy minimalism is about balance, like calm, uncluttered spaces that still feel warm and lived-in,” Jordana Ashkenazi, founder and design director of Element One House, explains. “It’s a clean look, but never stark. At the moment, it’s moving into what I’d call warm minimalism with earthy colors, tactile fabrics, and layered lighting, and I love mixing natural woods, stone, and linen with bouclé or wool to create depth and comfort," Jordana adds. "The look may be minimal, but the feeling is maximal — soothing, stylish, and personal all at once.”
