Best Paint Colours for Minimalism

Use these paint colours and design ideas to imbue restorative, minimalist design into your space.

Understated. Tranquil. Essential. Explore minimalist style through the lens of colour.

Today’s minimalism has evolved beyond “clutter-free” toward soothing, exuberant comfort. Use our colour palette of white, greige, gray and black hues to set the mood.
“The right paint colour elevates the back-to-basics ethos of minimalism. While white is a go-to choice, there are plenty of other colours to consider for creating a timeless look that aptly reflects minimalist style.”
