Since there’s a lot of visual dissonance between the minimalist and contemporary ideals, it can be quite a challenge to bride them in a single interior design. Here are 5 ways to do it in a seamless manner:
1. Dove grey and attractive

This kitchen interior design epitomizes the minimal aesthetic – there is not one frou-frou addition to its visuals that stands out in any kind of a contrast. The countertops, laminates, and even the backsplash have been introduced and executed in the simplest of harmonies. The only ode to contemporary is in the form of the stainless-steel accents used in the form of appliances and accessories that make the ambiance more interesting – it’s a totally unique execution.
2. When visuals meet functionality

While minimalism is all about the function, the contemporary style is all about the visual interest. Finding the perfect balance in both aesthetics can be quite a challenge, but this dining area does it exceptionally well. The use of accent chairs, unique light fixtures, and interesting in-built appliances is enough to balance out the simplicity of the background minimalism perfectly.
3. When colours are a deliverance

The minimalist palette is largely made up of a neutral colour scheme. The contemporary palette on the other hand is constantly evolving. This bedroom interior design features an excellent example of how you can merge the two schemes flawlessly. The trick is to seamlessly transition from a dull t bright colour. The alternation from wood to black, and grey to pink in this space is a great way to carry out this technique.
4. With beige and materials

Sometimes, you can use a creative blend of unique materials and a minimalist colour scheme to make your spaces interesting. Just take a look at this bathroom. It uses the beige palette to execute a minimalist outlook while the cleverly selected material scheme takes it to a whole new level with its distinct surface texture.
5. Fixtures count for the most
