The OP can get a bit of an idea of his fit and finishes.
Minimalism started with Bauhaus (meaning - building house) School of Art and movement 1919-1933.
Their principles of interior design were based on a minimalist approach which unified art, craftsmanship
and technology- meaning that artists should and can work with industry (form and function).
This radical concept was viewed as degenerate and undesirable when Hitler came to power.
I have been trying to mash up Limbert style designs with Scandinavian mid century. Basically lighter, more air, but exposed joints. Also I would like to use maple, birch, and even furniture grade bent plywood rather than the heavy dark finish of the originals for some of the pieces I am revisioning.
I was very much into the Eames collections (replicas actually) 2 years ago, the table, the lounge chair and the side chairs. I love their simple and streamlined curves. But today, they're all over the place, everywhere. So I'm thinking of those rustic live edge tables, I may buy one or get into diy myself.
One of the first places I decorated by myself was almost completely furnished by Scandinavian Design. Scandinavian Designs
It was great because I didn't have a lot of stuff so the simple design worked. It was also easy to clean.
My last place was Victorian - at the other end of the decorating scale.
