Furnish your apartment comfortably: Cozy minimalism as an answer to the modern world
The new trend Cozy Minimalism is characterized by simple and minimalist shapes. The interior does not look cool, but decorative, but not overloaded. The trend towards cozy furnishing in a minimalist style with a lot of coziness has emerged from the modern world, which is characterized by sensory overload from social media, too little time and stress.
Cozy minimalism unites the furnishing of the last decades
Minimalism emerged as an alternative to the home furnishings of past decades. Back then, “the more, the merrier” was the rule. The apartments featured heavy furniture with embellishments and flourishes, velvet drapes and multiple ruffled curtains obscured the windows and made for dark rooms with little daylight. Eccentric vases and ornate bowls and bowls and many objects made of porcelain stood on tables and chests of drawers.
Over time, resistance to this style of furnishing developed, expressed in ultra-minimalism: almost empty rooms with few, light and inconspicuous pieces of furniture. Accessories are a thorn in the side of followers of this style.
Cozy minimalism combines the two concepts of the past decades and shows a middle way: functional furniture and accessories that ensure cosiness and a feeling of home without being overwhelming. Superfluous items and furniture are out of place. What is needed, on the other hand, is a home with lots of free space and little ballast. This creates a cozy retreat where you can relax your soul.
