Modern houses—sleek minimalism or cozy comfort?

Been scrolling through Pinterest lately (you know how it goes...) and noticed a ton of these super sleek, minimalist modern homes. They're gorgeous, but honestly, I can't help wondering if they're actually comfy to live in day-to-day. Personally, I lean towards something a bit warmer and cozier, maybe with some wood accents or softer textures. Curious what you guys think—would you rather live in a super minimalist modern place or something more relaxed and cozy?

Minimalism doesn't have to feel sterile if you approach it thoughtfully. Start by layering subtle textures—think matte finishes, soft concrete, or even muted metals. Then introduce indirect lighting to create warmth and depth. It's about crafting atmosphere, not just adding decor...

I get the appeal of textures and indirect lighting, but doesn't that start to push minimalism toward cozy territory anyway? Kinda feels like we're trying to soften something that's maybe meant to be stark... or am I missing something?
