German architecture, whether Bauhaus or Baroque, has the ability to touch something deep within us.
German-style design and furnishings describe furniture, objects, graphic art, and interiors created as a result of the influential design and architecture movement of the early 20th century, named after the German school founded by the architect Walter Gropius. The Bauhaus embodied an approach where “form follows function” and “Less is more,” which still resonates today.

From the high ceilings of Berlin’s historic apartments, to the welcoming beauty and design of Hamburg, to the chic warmth you can find in Cologne; all, of course, with wooden floors that also recall Scandinavian furnishings.

German-style furniture and design objects have a streamlined appearance and timeless elegance that is easy to incorporate into today’s minimalist interiors or more eclectic spaces that mix periods and styles including vintage, antique, and contemporary for a timeless look. Incorporate it into your interiors with color accents, for example by painting a door or wall in a bright color, perhaps a primary one, through vintage posters as a quick way to showcase the timeless and captivating geometric graphics that define its appearance.

• Modern German interior design proposes a clean home, sharp lines, and therefore simple colors.
• The materials used to decorate the home are metal, glass, steel, and wood.

Other common features of German-style furnishings are shades of white, pressed wood, shiny plastic and enameled aluminum, steel and wide flooring, color touches used in artworks, natural fibers, natural lighting, and fewer accessories that personify this type of furnishing.

Sense of simplicity and comfort in every element

German interior design ideas are minimalist in style, with neutral and airy colors used to paint the home’s interiors, simple and linear furnishings, essential structure, furniture with organic shapes and simple manufacturing: in all this, it knows how to grant many classic details and an abundance of accessories that do not hide their roots in European sensibility.

What does a German-style apartment look like?

First of all, it is impossible not to notice how Germans love natural light; large windows are combined with glass doors to let in sunlight, almost representing a sense of openness to the world, so you never feel closed within four walls, at home. As we have said many times, it is minimalist; the goal is to provide an ultra-clean look: look for furniture with organic shapes built to last, especially those marked by curved lines.

Make sure everything in the house has a functional value. Accessories should therefore remain few, so as to have plenty of space to walk, choose quality in fabrics and materials such as wood and stone. In other words, German interior design is like everything that comes from this country: functional and built to last. However, it is also capable of not sacrificing beauty in this process, as everything that enters the home must be relaxing, for the soul and also for the eyes.
