So how do we get our interiors to look very cutesy, very mindful and very demure?

Very cutesy, very mindful, and very demure are the latest buzzwords taking the internet by storm this week, so how can we incorporate the ‘demure’ trend into our home life and interiors?

With #demure already at 46k views on TikTok and 26k Google Searches in the past month for ‘very demure’ interior experts at Magnet Kitchens have uncovered how we can get our interiors looking ‘very cutesy, very mindful and very demure’ and what this trend would look like in the home.

How to get the ‘demure’ look in your home and kitchen

Interiors expert Jen Nash says, ”The exact meaning of demure is modest and reserved. So in the home, you can imagine this as elegant, Shaker style cabinets that are classic and timeless, as well as soft pastels and natural materials that create a quiet, refined, and deliberately understated home environment.”

1. Light and understated colours 

”By introducing the same colour palette throughout your space, it’s instantly going to make the kitchen feel understated and modest. Avoid bold and bright colours like black or blue and stick to light colours like sage green, creams and pastels.”

2. The style of your kitchen

 ”Shaker kitchens are a great example of a demure kitchen style. Adding a timeless and classy feel to your kitchen, shaker cabinetry and island spaces can really elevate your space but they still remain understated, achieving that classy and demure feel.”

3. Furniture styles 

”Avoid trendy and bold furniture if you want your home to feel demure. Think of gently curved sofas, simple wooden tables, and chairs with elegant but unassuming lines. Keep any detailing on furniture minimal—perhaps a hint of tufting on a chair or the soft curve of a table leg. The emphasis is on quality and craftsmanship rather than bold statements.”

4. Lighting is key

”Incorporating soft lighting into your kitchen space is the key to achieving the demure feel. Imagine table lamps with fabric shades, and pendant lights with frosted glass or paper shades providing a gentle, warm glow. Maximising natural light is also key.”

5. Natural elements 

”Introducing natural elements like plants or simple, elegant floral arrangements, perhaps a few stems of white lilies or pale pink peonies in a clear glass vase, will add a touch of nature which is a lovely way to elevate the space without overwhelming it.”
