WE’VE BEEN DOING quite a bit of décor research lately, looking for storage solutions (double wardrobes, bookcases, consoles⏤that sort of thing) and came across YouTuber Katja Nordkvist‘s serene home in Denmark. With its combination of simplicity and clean lines paired with the warmth and comfort of inviting, cosy elements, it’s a good example of warm minimalism, the interior design style we’ve been seeing a lot of lately.

Warm minimalism is a design approach that focuses on creating a calm and uncluttered space while incorporating natural textures, earthy colours, and soft, warm lighting to add a sense of comfort and cosiness. The design avoids excessive ornamentation and embraces a less-is-more philosophy: clean lines, uncluttered spaces, and a minimalist colour palette are characteristic of this style. Nordkvist prefers shades of beige, cream, and warm greys, with only the wood of the herringbone floor and the veins of Carrara to break up the neutral palette. Warm minimalism emphasises the use of natural materials such as wood, stone, and organic textiles to add warmth, texture, and a sense of connection to nature. To counterbalance the simplicity, warm minimalism incorporates cosy textures like plush rugs, soft throws, and natural fibres to add depth and visual interest while providing a tactile warmth to the space.

Other things you’ll find interesting are Nordkvist’s Ikea hacks, which include bathroom vanities and bookcases, storage spaces and even boiserie.
