A minimalist home doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice on style. Here are seven great tips on how to achieve this coveted and timeless look from this five-room home project by The Minimalist Society:

Long counters help to elongate the look of the kitchen, so invest in good quality countertop surfaces to give your cooking area a prominent feature.
Mirrors along a wall can create the impression of a larger space. It also helps to reflect light around the room, making the space feel brighter and airier.
Create extra storage spaces above your head by designing your cabinetry to extend all the way to the top. This draws the eye upwards, making a narrow space look larger.

The white and grey combi is a timeless look and will never go out of style. Best of all, it’s so easy to keep to the theme because the palette allows for various shades of gray to be used. This means you won’t have a hard time finding the right furniture in the right colour.
