Style And Colors
Minimalist style is often used solo, with nothing else as it’s very self-sufficient but you can add some touches of other styles, too. These can be modern, contemporary and Scandi styles, they blend with minimalist very well. Don’t go too far – just incorporate some furniture or décor in these styles and nothing else.
As for the color scheme, it’s usually monochromatic: go all-neutral, white, black and white or even dark. You can make some bright accents but limit yourself with them – minimalism isn’t about bold colors.
