Those colourful pieces almost look like stackable wooden blocks, giving the whole thing a rather **playful toy-like vibe**. But the design isn't proving a winner online. "Liquid Glass, the iPhone 17 Pros and now this. Has the Apple design team swallowed a fugly pill?" One commenter complains on MacRumors' news story announcing the design. "I swear, between things like this and some of the Liquid Glass stuff, they have 'designers' just jerking around with filters and effects in graphics software. There is no coherence to any of this," another adds. One user summarises, "Ugly, childish looking. Jobs would be firing someone."  The 'new' logo appears on Apple's website to promote the Apple One subscription service ## A Different Perspective But is the whole thing an overreaction? For my money, yes. Is it so wrong for Apple to have a little fun with its logo, particularly on such an insignificant page of its website? I'm a big fan of Apple's **colourful, retro past** – not everything has to be grey, grey or grey. And the 'stackable' motifs makes sense, given the different services making up the Apple One subscription. [](https://youtu.be/Ne1Zu8d3E0w) And then there's the fact that the logo isn't even all that new. It's been appearing on video ads for Apple One for a while now (above) – this is just the first time it's graced the Apple website. As another MacRumors commenter puts it, "Stop moaning. It's a colourful stripy Apple logo. it's not as if there hasn't been a colourful stripy Apple logo before."]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>apple</category> <category>logo</category> <category>design</category> <category>branding</category> <category>controversy</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/NJkDk7o99DhXhfAeEk8toM-1920-80.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[How This Derelict Belgian Home Became a Stunning Industrial-Inspired Sanctuary]]></title> <link>https://www.designremotejobs.com/article/how-this-derelict-belgian-home-became-a-stunning-industrial-inspired-sanctuary</link> <guid>how-this-derelict-belgian-home-became-a-stunning-industrial-inspired-sanctuary</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 03 Nov 2025 19:00:26 GMT</pubDate> <description>< ### Preserving History While Embracing Industry The architects retained the existing **derelict brick structure**, wrapping it externally with insulation and corrugated metal panels. Inside, the rough brickwork walls were painted white while the original **timber ceilings and floors** were exposed, creating a beautiful contrast between old and new. "The guiding concept was to merge a **factory-like aesthetic** with the intimacy of a family dwelling," explained the design teams. "The broader urban context, characterized by shed roofs in the neighborhood and the robust materiality of the nearby train station, influenced the building's form, facade, and color palette." ### The Sawtooth Roof Solution The single-storey rear extension contains a large living, dining, and kitchen space topped by a **pale blue sawtooth roof** made from corrugated metal. This design wasn't just aesthetic - it served multiple functional purposes.  "We wanted to open the house to daylight and sight lines, but without resorting to a fully glazed box that would feel overexposed," the studios noted. "The **shed-roof extension** with its visible steel frame achieves this balance - generously admitting daylight while maintaining intimacy and enclosure." ### Clever Design Connections A **triangular cut-out** in the ceiling above a concrete kitchen island creates a visual connection between the extension and the first floor of the original home. This opening sets the contrasting brick, timber, and steelwork structures against one another in a dynamic dialogue. Sliding glass doors open the living space to a rear garden, where two existing steel beams were retained, painted blue to match the sawtooth roof, and used to suspend a hammock - a perfect example of **functional preservation**. ### The Evolution of Color The project's color scheme went through an interesting evolution. "The first design proposed a bold red color scheme," the architects revealed. "The city, however, worried it might resemble branding for a nearby shop, and required a change." This led to the **blue-grey tones** that now define the project. "Colors that soften the industrial character while rooting the house more firmly in its surroundings," they added. The pale blue color scheme extends throughout the home, appearing in the exposed steelwork of the extension interior, kitchen and bathroom fittings, and staircase.  The Rinskopf project was recently shortlisted in the **house renovation category of Dezeen Awards 2025**, recognizing its innovative approach to blending industrial design with residential living.]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>industrialdesign</category> <category>homeremodel</category> <category>architecture</category> <category>belgium</category> <category>renovation</category> <enclosure url="https://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2025/10/rinskopf-home-renovation-atelier-avondzon-macadam-atelier-hero_dezeen_2364_col_1.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Why Warm Minimalism is the Design Trend Everyone is Adopting Now]]></title> <link>https://www.designremotejobs.com/article/why-warm-minimalism-is-the-design-trend-everyone-is-adopting-now</link> <guid>why-warm-minimalism-is-the-design-trend-everyone-is-adopting-now</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 02 Nov 2025 19:00:24 GMT</pubDate> <description>< *(Image credit: Bess Lovern Designs)* So what does warm minimalism actually look like in practice? According to designers, it’s all about softening the edges by swapping stark white for warmth, sharp angles for soft texture, and perfection for personality. As designer Molly Torres Portnof of DATE Interiors explains, 'While minimalism can sometimes feel stark or cold, **warm minimalism pairs simplicity and intentionality with warm, earthy tones, layered textures, and natural materials**. The effect is inviting, cozy, and beautiful.' Designer Sean Symington says that this comforting shift is here to stay: 'I think we’ll definitely see more warm minimalism trends in the future,' says Sean. 'Achieving this is about **simplicity with soul** – creating calm spaces that still feel lived-in,' he explains. And Robin Bird agrees: 'Warm minimalism is definitely going to be one of the dominating themes going into the new year. People are getting bolder with their choices (yay!) and really embracing the cozy.'  *(Image credit: Jessica Helgerson Interior Design)* 'Warm minimalism has been in for a while and is here to stay,' adds Sara Alexander, founder of The Scale Collective. 'In the context of our busy lives, and the constant stream of news, people have and will continue to flock to minimalism because they want to live in a space that feels like a sanctuary, and a spa like environment, that warmly envelopes them when they are home.' Not to be confused with cozy modern, although they certainly share design traits, at its core, warm minimalism is about stripping things back (but not too much). Designer Sarah Ellison of Frank & Faber describes it as 'an evolution of some of the more pared-back interiors we’ve seen over the last decade.' It shares the same calm restraint as classic minimalism, she says, 'but has none of the austerity or starkness. It’s about creating spaces that feel pared-back and considered but inviting and cosseting.' For Bethany Adams, it’s also about rethinking what minimalism can be. 'Minimalism gets a bad rap for being too stark and cold – all those white walls and sharp corners,' she says. 'The new look embraces the simplicity of the original, while welcoming softer colors and richer materials.' ## How to Get the Warm Minimalist Look  *(Image credit: Good Ave Design Studio / Lauren Andersen / SEN Creative)* Warm minimalism is about finding balance – keeping spaces calm and pared-back while introducing enough warmth, depth, and character to make them feel lived-in. This isn’t about cluttering a minimalist space with accessories, but about layering texture, tone, and feeling. 'Warm minimalism never feels cold, but instead gives that golden hour feeling – the moment that invites you to pause and stay a while – that you want to extend and relish,' adds Sara Alexander. From colors and materials to clutter-free curation, here’s how to bring this enveloping trend home. ### 1. Start with Soft Color  *(Image credit: Robin Bird Interiors / Lauren Andersen / SEN Creative)* As you might expect, **decorating with neutrals** is the foundation of warm minimalism. Set the tone right with your color palette, and everything else will follow. Alongside creamy whites, taupes, and **earthy tones**, designers are leaning toward hues that pack some gentle warmth, rather than pure whites or cool grays. 'To me, warm minimalism is all about creating spaces that feel pared back yet intentionally layered,' says Chelsea Miller of Good Ave Design Studio. 'The key lies in texture and embracing warmer neutral tones while steering clear of cooler color palettes. I recommend creamy whites, taupes, and rich earthy hues that bring a sense of calm and depth.' 'Think neutral paint colors, like Benjamin Moore’s Pale Oak and Farrow & Ball’s Dimity, and natural materials like leather, wood, linen, and wool,' suggests Molly Torres Portnof. These hues bring warmth without heaviness, and still remain a perfectly neutral backdrop to the rest of your scheme. Sean Symington also notes that deep hues with warm undertones instantly add depth: 'Warmer tones like ochres, soft terracottas, and creamy neutrals add instant depth and warmth,' he adds. '**Color drenching** is also brilliant for this style as it makes a bold, cohesive statement without doing too much.' The idea is to envelop a space in warmth, creating a seamless, cocooning effect rather than relying on contrast. ### 2. Focus on Texture  *(Image credit: Bess Lovern Design)* In minimalist spaces, **texture** often replaces pattern, becoming the main source of richness and depth. And the same can be said for this aesthetic, too. 'In this modern project [seen above], we felt like adding warmth was necessary to soften the stark modern architecture, explains designer Bess Lovern. 'We love creating a really neutral palette with the fabrics and furniture and leaving space for the art to really bring the personality.' 'We like to make sure we are always incorporating different finishes, materials, and sheens, so even when the color palette is monochromatic and minimalist, the space still has character,' she explains. Sarah Ellison calls texture and materiality the 'key to success' in this look, adding: 'Focus on warm naturals like raw oak, linen, clay, and stone alongside aged and ever-aging metallics,' she suggests. Something like the unlacquered brass Weatherford Sconce from Rejuvenation would work perfectly.  *(Image credit: Frank & Faber / Paul Craig)* 'Room color ideas should be kept simple with a color block aesthetic providing the calmest of backgrounds in warm, nature-inspired tones like soft neutrals, mushroom, muted ochre, and green shades,' Sarah adds. 'Soft furnishings are simple but textured and natural with long linen or heavyweight cotton drapes, woven rugs and textured lamp shades,' she continues. 'In warm minimalism, we like to embrace imperfections with handcrafted tiles, aged timber floors, and naturally creased linens. For designers working in historic or rural homes, warm minimalism offers an ideal bridge between old and new, allowing original character to breathe within a quietly contemporary framework.' To master this layered look, you also want to think beyond textiles. 'If you have the budget, plaster really softens any space and creates a richness and depth,' Robin suggests. Consider tactile surfaces, aged hardware, and stone or marble features to lend instant warmth. The Kimberly Side Table from Lulu and Georgia blends burnished brass and warm marble to combine the look, while Robin suggests swapping pillow covers and adding a comfy quilt. ### 3. Layer with Warmth  *(Image credit: Lauren Gilberthorpe)* Once the foundations are in place, it’s **layering** that brings the scheme to life. Warm minimalism might begin with restraint, but it finds its soul through pieces that add softness, light, and personality. For designer Lauren Gilberthorpe, this extends to how a space feels as much as how it looks. 'Soft colors and textures play an important role, but equally, understanding the light within a home can make a huge impact,' she advises. 'Artificial lighting can make a room feel stark if it is not designed carefully. Warmth comes through both materials and setting.' Designers recommend swapping your bulbs for Dimmable 2700K Warm White Bulbs for extra ambience. 'Likewise, consider all of our senses when designing – how a space looks, feels, and even smells,' she adds. 'Smell immediately evokes the senses and contributes to the atmosphere.' 'A simple guide to creating this look is to invest in key staple furniture pieces, much like choosing the basics for a capsule wardrobe,' Lauren continues. 'These are pieces that are timeless and anchor the room. From there, layer slowly with materials, art, and rugs. Rugs are particularly important as they create warmth both visually and physically. Thoughtful accessories, cushions, and throws then complete the space and give it character.' ### 4. Curate, Don’t Clutter  *(Image credit: DATE Interiors / Seth Caplan / Marian Marcki-Matos)* Finally, restraint is what separates warm minimalism from simple coziness. The aim is not to fill a space but to refine it, paring back what’s unnecessary so that the best bits can shine. 'The idea is to refine homes so they are comfortable but uncluttered,' says Lauren. 'The best way to try the trend is to pick a pared-back palette, and forgo the luxurious layers and pattern play that can lead a space towards maximalism,' Bethany advises. 'Deep, rich hues help as does furnishing in natural materials: think stone, wood, metal. Above all, keep it simple and serene, and your space will be both warm and calming.' Sarah Ellison echoes the sentiment, adding: 'Decorative pieces are chosen sparingly but every one tells a story, has a tactile quality and an imbued sense of history and character.' It’s not about the absence of *things*, but the presence of just the right pieces. ## Shop the Look After years of extremes, with the cool restraint of minimalism on one end, and the exuberant layering of maximalism on the other, warm minimalism works as a comforting bridge between the two. Calm but characterful, simple but never sterile.

We asked three experts to share the telltale signs that a space hasn't been updated in years—and their insights might surprise you. ## Key Points - **Pleated lampshades, gray fabrics, matching furniture, and wall-to-wall carpet** date a room. - To bring your space into the future, **mix materials, use neutral linens, opt for a sleek TV, and choose warm brass lighting fixtures**. - Keep your space feeling fresh and current through **new textures, art, and lighting**. It's no surprise that interior designers are extremely good at predicting trends before those styles officially take off and take over the zeitgeist, but they're just as good at spotting outdated features in a home, too. While there are obvious signs that designers look out for—like wall-to-wall carpeting and era-specific textures and features, to name just a few—there are more subtle ways to tell that a living room is due for an upgrade. If you're living in a space that's home to frilly lampshades and dated, tacky lighting choices, then interior designers warn your space is in need of an upgrade. Wondering what other features pros immediately clock? We asked three experts about the different design features that instantly date your living room, and some are more sneaky—and surprising—than you'd expect. ## Meet the Expert - **Lisa Simopoulos** is the founder of Simopoulos Designs. - **Jody Jones** is the founder of Blue Indigo Designs. - **Tracy Morris** is the founder of Tracy Morris Design. ## The Lampshades Are Too Frilly Believe it or not, the type of lampshades you use in your living room can serve as a clear indicator of when the room was last updated, says Lisa Simopoulos, the founder of Simopoulos Designs, who says that lampshade styles "quietly evolve." Just think about it, she says—in the 1980s, frilly, pleated lampshades were all the rage, but in more recent decades, cleaner silhouettes have reigned supreme. If you think lampshades are too insignificant of a feature to update, Simopoulos says to think again. She says that sometimes, her clients will change *everything* in a room except for the lampshades, and it makes a worse impression than you might expect. ## The Fabric Colors and Textures Are Wrong The fabric colors used in the living room can also closely indicate the era in which the space was designed. "Each era has its telltale textures and tones," Simopoulos says, adding that modern fabrics are generally made of linens or bouclé and feature soft neutrals. On the other hand, icy gray fabrics immediately scream 2010s, while heavy golds are associated with the 2000s, the designer says. ## You Have a Large Entertainment Center Technology itself has gotten more sleek in recent decades, and the way people display TVs in their homes has changed as a result, too. Jody Jones, the founder of Blue Indigo Designs, says that a bulky entertainment unit is one clear, obvious sign that your living room hasn't been updated in quite some time. In her projects, Jones says that an entertainment center will never be "the literal big elephant in the room," rather, she'll look for opportunities to blend it in seamlessly with the room's other design elements. ## Your Space Is Super Matchy Matchy Gone are the days of buying matching furniture sets for the living room, so if your space contains identical-looking furniture, it's a sign that it's quite out of date, according to Jones. She encourages people to break up these existing sets and weave in items that come from a mix of retailers and are made from a variety of materials for a more collected look. "We love mixing in at least one vintage piece in a living room and different fabrics and textures to bring a layered and timeless feel to the space," the designer says. ## You Have Carpet Everywhere Wall-to-wall carpeting in the living room is another look that will date your living room instantly, Jones says. Hardwood, engineered flooring, or luxury vinyl are among the most popular living room flooring choices as of late. Though you should always feel free to lay down a nice area rug in your living room, the designer says you shouldn't go all in with carpet. ## Your Accessories Are Tied to One Era Part of the fun of designing a living room is allowing it to evolve over the years as you bring in new accent pieces, says Tracy Morris, the founder of Tracy Morris Design. As such, she knows right away that when a living room contains tons of mass-produced art, matchy-matchy pillows, and the like, it hasn't been updated—or will very soon read as dated. "A well-designed living room evolves over time, and when those subtle layers of texture, lighting, and proportion stop progressing, it shows," she says. Consider this your sign to always make subtle tweaks as time goes on in order to keep your living room looking current. ## Your Lighting Scheme and Fixtures Aren't Right Lighting is another key giveaway that a room hasn't been recently refreshed. "A room’s lighting temperature can be a subtle time stamp," Simopoulos says, adding that cool white lighting and brushed nickel features were mainstream in the 2010s, but things have changed since. These days, she says, the go-to look is warm, natural looking light, and fixtures are generally made of aged brass or mixed metals.]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>interiordesign</category> <category>homedecor</category> <category>designtrends</category> <category>livingroom</category> <category>modernhome</category> <enclosure url="https://www.thespruce.com/thmb/b7iZLHh94jmAoj_SlVFuQl0wTcI=/3000x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/GettyImages-1271113589-ebc13481c7eb4ee3aece132992428145.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> </channel> </rss>
