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.
