Minimalism is the Madonna of trends, in that it's always reinventing itself. In each era of design, there's a version of minimalism that encapsulates the mood of the moment — some reflection of the wider world and what we want our homes to feel like.
In recent years, we've often referred to the idea of 'minimaluxe'. Think of it as the quiet luxury of minimalist interior design, where the pared-back nature of the style was coupled with luxurious materials for schemes that whispered the wealth aesthetic. It's a style that's easy to become cynical of, even if you're a minimalist enjoyer. Quiet luxury isn't necessarily celebratory, and it doesn't take joy in either the minimalist playbook or those who love to live in the lap of luxury, and it doesn't lend itself to those little personal flourishes that have become a guiding interior design trend.
