🎨 Is minimalism in app design still a good UX principle in 2025?

Over the past few years, minimalism became the standard for clean and modern UI design — neutral colors, lots of white space, and simple layouts.

But lately, I’ve started wondering… are we reaching a point where everything looks the same?

When every app follows the same flat, pastel aesthetic, does “minimal” still mean useful and clear — or just safe and predictable?

I’ve seen users respond better to small touches of personality — colors, microinteractions, or even playful typography — as long as it doesn’t break the flow.

So I’m curious:

👉 Do you still aim for minimalism when designing your apps or products?

👉 Or do you try to add a bit of visual identity, even if it means breaking the minimalist trend?

Would love to hear how other makers think about balancing simplicity and character in modern UX ✨
