The model above must be applied if you want to build a minimalist work space. You must prioritize choosing furniture that supports the work inside, such as tables, chairs, shelves or cupboards. Decoration is not something that is prohibited in minimalist style. You can still decorate your room or work desk, but don't make it too busy so it's uncomfortable to use for work.
