Following Justin's example, you can absolutely have a minimalist house that's full of color. In order to harmoniously marry colorful art into a minimalist design, you need to pay attention to the details. Research your area for local artists that will bring authentic flavor to the space and reflect its surroundings. Search for common colors within both artwork and styling accessories and place them in proximity so they create a harmonious look.
If placing a painting or print next to a window, notice the view. Are there any shapes or colors that are reflected in the piece? And last but not least, soften any sharp, rectangular edges in a room with rounded shapes in your chosen artworks.
