The Soft Minimalist Home | Abi Dare

We’re thrilled to feature The Soft Minimalist Home by Abi Dare as our latest pick for the Humble & Grand Design Book Club. This is a book that beautifully aligns with our belief in timeless, intentional spaces.

Imagine a home that feels effortlessly calm, beautifully curated, and deeply personal—without feeling stark or unlivable. That’s the heart of The Soft Minimalist Home.

This book invites you to rethink minimalism, not as a rigid set of rules, but as a way to create a space that nurtures your well-being while reflecting your unique story.

Through 15 thoughtfully designed homes across the UK and Europe, Abi showcases how minimalism can be warm, inviting, and livable. A London apartment embraces subtle pops of color. A 1920s Dutch townhouse is bathed in natural light. A Swedish family home draws inspiration from nature. Each space is a testament to the idea that minimalism isn’t about living with less—it’s about living with what truly matters.

Interwoven with these stunning home tours, Abi offers practical guidance on creating your own soft minimalist space. From choosing the right color palette to incorporating texture for warmth, she shares simple ways to make your home feel both stylish and deeply comforting.

The Soft Minimalist Home is more than a design book—it’s an invitation to slow down, edit with intention, and craft a home that supports your everyday life. It's a book you will pull from your shelf for years to come for design and styling inspiration. 

 If you’ve ever felt drawn to minimalism but hesitated because it seemed too cold or unattainable, this book will show you a different way—one that feels natural, inviting, and uniquely yours.
