WHITE DECOR * THREE BASIC WAYS

1) Smooth Cool Sleek Modern

Some like to go all the way with blue-white on sleek smooth surfaces. This is a very minimalist, usually modern, stark, effect. It mirrors and fits the psychological need for minimalist uncluttered lifestyle, at least in effect.

Go all the way with white in the contemporary interior design, or add a splash of color to change it up – anything – bright, pastel, black.



2) Creamy Warm Textural White Traditions

For others, welcoming warmer whites are wonderful, varying shades and tints in the room. The use of textures of textiles, fabrics, carpet, cushions, draperies, etc. in various whites create the substantial softening and ‘layering’ effect that creates wonderful awe-inspiring richness.

3) Warm White Textures And Tones

Stepping the white room décor further into color, introducing the warming tones of woods and earthy neutral colors create a still warmer effect. Keep in mind the importance of mixing up the textures, however.

Even with woods, try a combination of rattan woods or wicker, with traditional smooth woods. Different colors of woods work also.

Tips To Employ In The White Room

What is the test of the successfully appointed white room? It should feel balanced and comfortable. Regardless of how stark, or the varying degrees of white, you should be able to relax in any room.
· Combined Textures
· Textures Creating a Layering Effect
· Layering Contributes to Depth and Substance
· Use of varying tints and tones

PAINT - use flat or eggshell paint for walls. Using the same color, paint gloss or semi-gloss on millwork and trim. This contributes to depth and texture.

DEPTH – as you may guess is achieved by skillful layering of textural elements
