The subtle balance between design and comfort
In a world that’s becoming increasingly complex, the desire for simplicity without sacrificing comfort is growing. Soft minimalism, an emerging trend in interior design, is the solution.
Unlike traditional minimalism, which is often perceived as too austere due to its clean lines and monochrome tones, soft minimalism embraces warmth, softness, and natural materials. Quick-Step’s collections seamlessly align with this trend, offering timeless, durable design floors that make life easier.
Design with delicate comfort
While traditional minimalism was associated with clean lines and pared back interiors, the focus is now shifting to organic shapes, natural materials, and tactile textures. Soft minimalism aligns with nature-inspired trends like Japandi, Scandinese, and biophilic design but adds an extra dimension.
Besides simplicity and functionality, the style revolves around softness and refinement. Light, neutral powder pastels create a calming colour palette, while soft fabrics and materials ensure an inviting, cosy atmosphere: it’s about coming home to a cocoon of tranquility.
Floors as the foundation of a cosy interior
A floor forms the basis of any interior and largely determines the atmosphere and appearance of spaces. Since soft minimalism is synonymous with a harmonious interplay between simplicity and comfort, it is important to consider both criteria.
Fortunately, Quick-Step offers a wide range of floors that perfectly match this new trend. For example, decors like chalkstone or dusky bluestone from the Muse collection combine a minimalist stone look with the strength and comfort of a laminate floor. Vinyl tiles in a concrete look from the Illume collection also provide a soft, pleasant surface for an interior that emphasises simplicity and serenity.
Additionally, Quick-Step’s vinyl tiles with a carpet look in soft sage tones seamlessly blend into trend’s colour palette. Those who want to accentuate refinement can choose a vinyl floor with a wood herringbone pattern or an authentic wood floor in soft, natural shades like light oak.
More than aesthetics
Soft minimalism is not only about appearance but also about comfort and ease of use. In floor design, this means materials that are not only visually appealing but also practical in daily life.
Wood parquet floors, as well as laminate and vinyl collections from Quick-Step are durable and wear-resistant, even in heavily used areas – they last a lifetime. Wet shoes in the hallway? A cup of tea on the kitchen floor? Kids playing in the bath? No stress! Quick-Step designers have developed waterproof innovations that prevent damage from water and make the floors easy to clean.
This way, Quick-Step ensures that life not only becomes more beautiful but also easier too. Conclusion? A Quick-Step floor is the ideal foundation for a soft minimalist interior where comfort, durability, and refinement come together.
