White is a classic colour, and it’s also a trendy one. In recent years, all-white interiors, or almost all-white interiors, have been making a big splash. In some ways, a white interior betokens wealth and a degree of single urbanity (it’s hard to keep clean and not a great colour wall-to-wall in a house full of kids); but with wipe down surfaces and washable textiles it doesn’t have to be completely out of reach for all of us.It’s a tranquil and relaxing colour; some chromatherapists say that because white is made up of all the colours on the light spectrum, it’s a colour of balance and harmony, and will bring those qualities to an interior. White will certainly bring light to a space, thanks to its light reflective qualities, which is one reason it’s the most popular colour out there for walls but how can you pull this trend off without your home looking like a hospital room or a the set of a Scandinavian music video? Here we offer some ideas of how you can make an all-white interior work for you.
