How to master luxury minimalism in your home

“When you look at a beautiful space now, not only do you want to be wowed but you also want to jump in and touch and feel the space. Tactile fabrics like linen are great as they add texture when you’re using a restrained colour palette,” Alexander-Hatziplis says.

A 100 per cent French flax linen fabric has the practical advantage of being suitable across different sleeping, living and dining spaces. It has a substantial weight and natural texture, but is incredibly soft to the touch. Plus, it’s trans-seasonal; it keeps you cool in summer, warm in winter and acts as a natural temperature-regulator, adjusting with the weather as your body does.

Add colour

The mere suggestion of colour in a minimalist interior might have been sacrilege just a few years ago, but now it’s par for the course. As for the matter of which hues to choose, that’s entirely up to you.

This year, warmer shades of peach, lilac, turmeric, and olive are also becoming more prominent, while pink tones run the gamut from rose to burgundy. Fabrics are an easy way to incorporate colour into the home, as they’re easier to rotate and update than furniture or fixtures.

Try one of Bed Thread’s 100% flax linen bedding sets in a rich hue like rust or terracotta, or use a linen tablecloth to bring luxury to the dining room.

Finish with the details

Luxury minimalism welcomes those personal touches that make an interior uniquely yours. It even allows the odd sentimental piece to be kept on display.

Period details and personal design items are making a comeback but they should be specific to your life, travels and interests. To give objects and collections some structure, try using a tray as a base to display and layer your homewares.

If you’re not the knick-knack type, a simple throw or statement cushion on a sofa or a vase on a side table also add interest and a luxurious feel.
