Finding Balance: How to Mix Minimalism and Maximalism at Home


As we ease into 2025, there's a new design trend making waves: minimalist maximalism. This fresh approach is all about keeping things simple and functional, featuring clean lines, open spaces, and a mostly monochrome colour scheme, jazzed up with bold accents. It’s all about picking a few key elements that really bring a space to life.


At the core of this trend is the idea that sometimes, less really can be more—but with a fun twist. Unlike the cold vibe often linked to minimalism, minimalist maximalism invites warmth and character into spaces with thoughtfully chosen decor. House of York is leading the charge with a lineup of multi-functional trays, drawer organisers, and crates that blend practicality with a splash of style.


Functional Aesthetics


House of York’s collection is all about making your home look great while keeping things practical. Our multi-functional trays double as decorative pieces and smart storage solutions, helping you keep your spaces tidy without sacrificing flair. The sleek design fits right into the minimalism vibe, while the lively colours can pop in neutral rooms.


The drawer organisers help you maintain order in your living spaces, ensuring everything has its spot. Available in a bunch of colours, these organisers not only tidy up your stuff but also add a nice hint of colour to an otherwise calm environment.


Colour and Texture: The Maximalist Touch


In minimalist maximalism, colour is used thoughtfully and intentionally. House of York offers a palette that encourages homeowners to play around with bold shades against neutral backdrops. Imagine a bright blue tray as the star of a muted kitchen or vibrant crates adding some depth to a minimalist living room.
Texture plays a big role in this design philosophy, too. House of York's sleek wood finishes bring in a natural feel with a polished twist. This variety in texture makes spaces more inviting and lively.


Creating Vibrant Spaces


In a world where many homes stick to neutral shades, using House of York’s multi-functional pieces can turn your living area into a vibrant retreat. By picking out a few standout items, you can strike a balance that captures the essence of minimalist maximalism. The key is to choose pieces that reflect your style while keeping things simple and functional.


As we look ahead in interior design, the blend of minimalist maximalism is set to change how we think about our living spaces. With House of York leading the way, it’s easier than ever to give your home a touch of personality and warmth while keeping it elegantly simple. Whether you want to refresh a single room or overhaul your entire place, House of York's mix of practicality and style is sure to spark your design journey.
