Make a feature of toolsInject a little warmth into a slick space by displaying functional items you use in your office, bathroom or kitchen, nicely demonstrated here by the assorted cooking utensils on a rail behind the worktop. In your office, it’s surprising how orderly folders, files, pens and paperclips can look lined up on shelves. If having these on display is a step too far for your minimalist space, buy (or paint) boxes in a single colour and use them to keep your paraphernalia neat but interesting. In your bathroom, beautifully packaged toiletries can be artfully arranged (while the dingier, more bog-standard stuff can still be hidden away).
Perk up with patchwork If you’ve gone for a simple scheme in the rest of the room – like this white kitchen, for example – then patchwork tiles are the perfect way to pep up the look with a splash of colour and pattern. Available in ceramic or porcelain, these floor tiles come in a huge range of colours, sizes and prints to create a wonderfully unique vibe.
Add warmth to a pared-back kitchen With many homeowners preferring low-maintenance materials and super-efficient interior design, especially in functional areas, these spaces can look a little clinical. Swap the laboratory look of a monochrome kitchen for a warm and inviting space with the natural textures and colours of a hard-wearing patterned cement tile floor.And as a bonus, patterned tiles hide crumbs!

Pick patchworkThese stunning patchwork floor tiles are a feast for the eye, and can work wonderfully in a minimalist, clean-lined kitchen. Opt for sleek white handless units with slab fronts, as too much detailing could easily tip this design into OTT territory. A little restraint elsewhere to counterbalance the busy pattern has ensured the perfect balance.
Add interest to minimalismPattern is a wonderful way to warm up a minimal look that might otherwise verge on the clinical. The clean lines and plain colours of this slick kitchen really stand out against the tiled floor, which brings an Arts and Crafts edge to the room. This is echoed by the line of kitchen utensils and pans that hang against the far wall.
