More than one hundred years ago, in 1919, a school of art and design was founded in Germany that would forever change the way we think about interiors. The Bauhaus movement was revolutionary in its time, blending art, craft, and functionality into a single vision. Its principle was clear: design should be beautiful, purposeful, and part of everyday life.
While styles and trends come and go, the philosophy of Bauhaus continues to influence how we live with design today. Clean lines, geometric forms, and the belief that simplicity can be deeply expressive remain central to many of the interiors we admire.
A Philosophy That Lives On
The Bauhaus movement was never just about furniture or architecture — it was about a way of seeing the world. It taught us that design is not decoration, but an essential part of how we live and interact with our spaces.
This idea resonates strongly in the modern home, where beauty and function are often inseparable. The concept of “less, but better” is echoed in every curated object, every open space, and every thoughtful detail.
From Bauhaus to Today’s Homes
Even if you don’t realise it, the echoes of Bauhaus are present in many of today’s most loved interior styles:
- Scandinavian minimalism embraces clean lines and light-filled spaces that prioritise clarity and calm.
- Japandi interiors merge Japanese simplicity with Scandinavian warmth, honouring natural materials and balanced proportions.
- Boho clean living layers textures, organic shapes, and artisanal details, but keeps a sense of restraint.
All these contemporary styles share the Bauhaus belief that design should be purposeful, honest, and connected to the way we truly live.
Bringing Bauhaus Influence into Your Home
You don’t need to redesign your entire interior to embrace this spirit. A few intentional choices can bring that same sense of harmony and balance:
- Choose functional pieces that are also sculptural, where form follows purpose.
- Embrace geometric patterns or abstract compositions to add character without clutter.
- Keep palettes calm and neutral but introduce a single bold accent — a colour, a print, or a statement artwork.
- Allow space to breathe; beauty often lives in restraint.
Even a single piece, like a carefully chosen artwork, can capture the essence of Bauhaus and make it feel at home in a modern setting.
More Than Design
What makes Bauhaus so relevant today is not only its aesthetic but its mindset. It reminds us that a home is not just filled with objects; it is shaped by intention. Every piece has a role to play, every corner has the potential to inspire.
At Dallia Home & Co, we celebrate this philosophy by curating objects that balance form, function, and beauty. Pieces that don’t just decorate a space but become part of the way you live in it.
Our Canvas Print – Modern Geometry, was inspired by this very movement, a contemporary nod to Bauhaus principles, designed to bring clarity and quiet elegance to the modern home.
