Mimicking the physical world's graphic objects, environments, and experiences in mobile or website apps is always a vital design goal that UI/UX designers try to achieve. This exploration process led designers to discover the VR and AR design trend, as well as another new and shining design trend drawn from both flat and skeuomorphism design - "Neumorphic design".

This new design trend has a soft and plastic look, giving your website and mobile app a completely different aesthetic touch.

But, what is neumorphic design? How can you apply it to your UI/UX design? What should you notice when you're using neumorphim? Let's find all the answers in this article. The best examples and free UI kits are also included to help you incorporate neumorphism into UI/UX projects. Also, try to create a neumorphic design with an online prototyping tool while reading this.

What is neumorphic design?

Neumorphic design, also known as "neumorphism" or "soft UI", is a minimal visual design style that uses monochromatic colors, subtle shadows and low contrasts to showcase buttons, switches, cards, progress bars and other elements from the background, creating a really soft and plastic-like look, with layers.
