We’re obsessed with the minimaluxe aesthetic right now at Livingetc. It’s where minimalist style meets luxury accents, and is the homeware equivalent of the ‘quiet luxury’ trend that has monopolized fashion and beauty spheres of late. If you’re a fan of carefully balanced decor pieces that make your home feel more elevated without taking away from its minimalist vibe, then this is the home trend for you.

The team has gone through the basics for you and found the best minimaluxe kitchen, living room, and tabletop pieces, and now I’ve scoured the best home decor stores to find the bathroom accessories that best emulate the homeware trend of the moment.

WHICH COLORS FEEL THE MOST MINIMALUXE?

A key element of the minimaluxe aesthetic is creating balance, so contrasting colors like black and white work well – especially when combined with a matte or textured finish. If you prefer a neutral look then beiges, creams, and earthy browns work equally well.

Mindful touches of color can add a bit of interest to a minimalist aesthetic, but it’s a good idea to stick to shades with a luxurious feel – think gold accents and elegant green hues.   

When in doubt, stick to layering neutral shades, then adding one or two pieces in a contrasting color to attract the eye. This will make your space feel carefully curated and expensive without distracting from the overall minimalist feel.
