Minimaluxe - The Design Movement For Neutral Lovers

Minimaluxe is the new design movement for those who prefer a pared back scheme. Combining minimalist ideology with quiet luxury, this scheme is perfect for those who want something soothing and understated. Here we talk about minimaluxe and key design tips to help you get the look.

The Light Minimaluxe Colour Palette:

1. Snowshill White - an off white with cool lilac undertones.
2. Fontwell - a mid-tone, olive green with strong, grey undertones.
3. Borrowash -  a comforting taupe, inspired by a natural hessian weave.
4. Wallpaper - Amara Panel in Cream/Soft Gold and Cloud in Cream.

1. Cinders - a warm black with brown undertones
2. Lympstone - a soft taupe with warm undertones.

Minimaluxe Styling Tips:

1. Investing in a few key quality furniture pieces

To get the look, invest in some high-quality furniture pieces. Try to find pieces with soft, rounded edges in high quality materials for a luxe look. If you’re on a budget, you could also look to upcycle some vintage finds with some Albany wallpaper, woodcare or colours from the Albany Design Collection. 

2. Using Wallpaper

Using a simple wallpaper design can be a great way to build layers within your scheme. Using a plain or lightly textured, high-quality wallpaper can make a huge difference to your space and there are so many to choose from with Albany wallpaper. In our light scheme, we chose Amara Panel from the Albany Ravello collection to create the perfect backdrop.

3. Styling Accessories

Selecting a few key pieces to style your space will bring in the finishing touches of luxury. You could opt for a large piece of art to become the centre piece of your room – if you’re feeling creative you could even create your own minimalist piece using left over paint from your scheme for a cohesive look. We have opted to frame some Cloud wallpaper from the Albany Ravello collection, as we could determine how big we wanted the art piece to be…and it doesn’t break the bank!

You can also style the space using fresh foliage, coffee table books, candles, trays and frames for a luxe look, just remember not to over style the space as you do not want to ignore the minimalist element of the design.

4. Lighting

Lighting can make a huge difference when elevating a space. Choosing a sculptural lamp and using uplighting can soften a space whilst highlighting key areas of your scheme.

5. Fabrics

Using high quality fabrics to dress windows in your space will make such a difference to getting that quiet luxury look. With hundreds of fabrics to choose from with the Brewers bespoke Made to Measure service, see how we can elevate your space today>>

If you’re working in a space without windows, you can introduce some softer touches through upholstery, rugs or decorative throws and cushions.
