Summer may be coming to a close, but that doesn’t mean you have to let go of the crisp brightness of the season. Decorating with white will reflect sunlight and invite light into any space in your home.
Select different shades for different aspects of the room to give the space more depth. White furniture and décor complements wooden floors and furniture trims.
- Find a beige shade of white for your walls. This way your base decorative color won’t be too stark, but it will still bring that fresh, crisp look to the room.
- Choose window treatments that are cream or sheer. These curtains will let in more light and complement brightness.
- Lightly colored hues such as pale blue or green pair nicely with white layers. However, be careful not to overdo it – you don’t want your living room to look like a nursery of pastels when you’re decorating with white.
Highlight Bold Colors
White allows bold colors such as turquoise to become the focal point of the room. Decorating with a white or neutral base draws attention to colored accent furniture pieces or accessories by providing a crisp, clean background.
Decorating with White Accessories
If you don’t want decorate your entire room with white, incorporate white accessories to a room to lighten the space. Bright white throw pillows pop out against an otherwise neutral sofa, and white lamps add a crisp touch to wooden side tables. White accessories in an otherwise dark room will pop the same way brightly colored accessories become the focal point in a white room.
Keep this crisp, refreshing look in your home and draw attention to unique focal points by decorating with white.
