Decorating with white can be a difficult task. The combination of different whites, varying amounts of matte and gloss, and figuring out how to balance out what little color the room has can be a challenging process.
Decorating Your Home with White
When decorating with white from room to room, it's important to keep your wall color consistent. Picking a matt or eggshell paint will give you the most flexibility, allowing you to use off-white and high gloss accents to capture both ends of the spectrum. Moulding is an important aspect of any white decor that uses accent colors on the walls.
Area rugs are an easy way to add a splash of color and warmth. You're likely to have ceramic tile or marble floors when creating an all white interior. Area rugs help you make a comfortable environment in your bedroom, living room, or office. Runners in your kitchen areas can add a degree of safety and comfortability (after all, who wants to stand on cold floors and wash dishes?).
Because white is such a strong presence, don't over-do it by subscribing to a single period when selecting your furniture. Asian fusion, traditional, and ultra contemporary can all co-exist in your white space, so don't be afraid to mix it up!
