A MONOCHROMIC COLOR SCHEME 
What’s black and white and grey all over? A sleek and
chic condo employing a minimalistic color scheme, of
course. Not only will a scheme comprised of black,
white, and tones of grey lend a look of luxury and
sophistication to your dwelling, but it will also lend the
look of spaciousness without sacrificing visual depth,
which can happen when you are decorating with flat
hues.
CLEAN, UNINTERRUPTED LINES
One designer-grade tip we can offer is to pay close attention to
the lines created by everything from your physical furniture and
accessories themselves, as well as the lines created by your
layout. A minimalistic decorating scheme should be comprised
of simple, clean lines, free of any obstructions caused by visible
storage, for example.
AMPLE OPEN SPACE
When decorating with a minimalist’s mindset, it’s germane to
consider light, air, and traffic flow, and further, ensuring there’s
plenty of all three. Mind any obstructions – things such as
swinging doors, visible storage, and bulky furniture are all things
that tend to inhibit the aforementioned flow. To encourage the
light, air, and traffic flow in your condo, employ creative solutions,
such as see-through furniture and plenty of natural as well as
artificial light.
