Your publication has explained very well the minimalist decoration especially the colors, in my case I could not have a white sofa, the reason my cats, but if I would opt for something that is sober and elegant, currently my home I have a dark turquoise wall and I think it will last a while paints in my country are very expensive, and that color still remains so I will change color the other walls, but that will remain in that tone, but I agree that an excessive amount of furniture is a nightmare even to walk.
