We love Chrissy Teigen's take on the latest trend for 'warm minimalism' – a cozier version of the clean aesthetic

Warm minimalism, much like 'quiet luxury' is having its moment in the design spotlight. Unlike its cooler yet more clinical sister, a warm minimalist interior promises to exude more character and comfort into a clean and functional space.

Now, more than ever, we seek comfort in our homes, so it is pleasing to see model and author Chrissy Teigen has not only adopted this timeless and elegant interior design trend into her home. 

The easiest way to achieve this look, as Chrissy Teign has done, is to mimic the warmest colors from nature. Inspired by colors from the natural world, warm minimalism adds a gentle and soothing touch to interiors that can be layered with textures and tones to ebb and flow with the seasons.

Here, designers react to the warm minimalism trend and share how to get the look in your home using a 'golden hour' palette, just as Chrissy has achieved below.

Chrissy Teigen has always been open to sharing her life with her millions of social followers – and showing off her incredible home in the process but it is her love for warm minimalism that has caught our design eye.

'There’s a definite move towards warm minimalism, with deeper hues and rich, neutral tones – I’m seeing lots of beige, honey, ochre, taupe, and gold used to create cozy, inviting spaces that are still elegant and serene in their simplicity. It’s about building a sense of cohesion, so no piece of furniture or color is over-dominating the space,' says Becca Casey, designer and founder of Becca Interiors.

If you want to recreate the aesthetic at home, then combine colors inspired by the 'golden hour' – the period the color of the sky turns from red to orange. Think luminous sunset shades and earthy terracottas and ochres that are perfect partners and versatile, too, as they can be sophisticated and seductive or fabulously fresh.

'Using a natural palette, like the one above, is all about adding depth and contrast in different layers and textures,' says Jane Landino, creative head of the studio at Taylor Howes. 'To make a warm minimalist color palette feel designed and considered it’s important to mix and match patterns, albeit neutral ones, and occasional accents of color. Just because something is beige doesn’t mean it has to be plain.'

Another great way to decorate with neutrals is to use varying tones from the same color palette to create flow and dynamism. In her home, Chrissy keeps things interesting with subtle hints of gold. A daring color, but one that chimes beautifully with both the warm minimalism and quiet luxury aesthetic. 

Used for small touches or in lavish amounts, gold is a color that blends wonderfully with almost any other, whether in sleek, modernist schemes or those with a distinctly eclectic flavor.

For a cozier aesthetic, consider a red-based neutral shade such as Elephant's Breath, Dimity, or Wimborne White by Farrow & Ball, recommends Louise Wicksteed, design director at Sims Hilditch.
