We’ve all seen our fair share of Scandinavian-inspired spaces, and if there’s one motif that’s entirely undeniable, a monochromatic scheme is it. Here, we’ve gathered an eclectic set of spaces, which prove that modern minimalism and vibrant color palettes do, in fact, exist. See for yourself.

Elevate a reserved color palette by incorporating eye-catching textures into the mix. Note the marbled gray wallpaper to the right, borrowing a common chord from the flooring, which pairs so perfectly with the pink wall paint.

A monochrome decor scheme is saturated with a vibrant display of greens, pops of color from the pillows and throws, and bright art on the walls. Consider this a compromise.

Incorporating more than two colors within a space can get tricky, especially when it comes to the kitchen. Yet, this space proves that finding a shade that complements the two – in this case, black – can help achieve a more cohesive look.

An autumnal palette brings this all-white space to life, with a modest yet inviting display of color.

Vibrant wall art and blush toned walls aside, we can’t get enough of the mod coffee table, sporting a multicolor leg situation!

Inside this Stockholm hotel, a gray wall paint with smokey green undertones lends a chic backdrop for the modern furnishings of a complementary scheme. Brass fixtures, a light gray rug, and stained wood accent pieces complete the decorative effect of the room.
