Home décor: Decorate with white
When we talk of decorating the house, we think of painting the walls afresh with bright colours or replacing the old flooring with new hardwood floor or ceramic tiles or may be changing the lighting of the house. Whatever may be the way of decorating, usually decoration translates to colour and white hardly features in our thoughts.
However, it is very much possible to decorate your home with white and decorating with white lends an elegant look to your house.
Here are few ways how you can decorate the house with white colour.
All white: You can get one room to wear all white, i.e. everything in the room is in white – walls, ceiling, bed, drapes, cushions, ottoman, mirror frames, chairs, pillows – everything. It will create a room with spaces soaked in natural light. The room will look clean and simple and give you a wonderful experience of living in a beach side or bestow a spa like atmosphere to the room. Bed room would be the best choice to go for a all white cloak.
White linens: If going all white for a room seems little too much for you or you think it would be too stark for eyes, you can consider making white a special part of your bed room. White linens for your bed always makes the room feel cool and clean.
White contrast: White can be used to create aesthetic contrast in your dining room or living room. If you have a rich coloured wall then a beautiful contrast appeal can be created by keeping a white chair or table in front of it. Usually white would create a contrast with any rich colour – be it deep blue or red or violet or green.
Kitchen decor: Your kitchen can be given an adorable jewelry box kind of look by maintaining a nicely balanced mixture of white and cool blue. The cabinets and walls can be white or rather off white in colour which will be smoothly converged with cool blue coloured tiles and ceiling. Keep in mind that if you want to go for white board cabinets, then it may further assimilate with the utensils and glass interiors like a chandelier dangling above.
Whitewashed interior: Whitewashing your interiors with white is another innovative decor idea. You can whitewash your permanent furniture like cabinets, dressers, fixtures and also brick to make the room appear pristine and clean. Whitewashed bricks add elegance and personality in comparison to exposed bricks and if used for decor purposes selectively, can do wonder especially to a small room.
White accessories: You can transform a room with contemporary furniture in to a breathtakingly splendid room by incorporating white accessories. Accessories may be the white dishes and utensils in grass front cabinets or in an open shelf or it may be a vintage style cream white rug; be sure the white glow will brighten up the room.
Wall decor: A white wall can present you with myriad ways to decorate your home. As for the living room, your white wall can be a great background for a modern art that you are proud to possess.
You can camouflage the white wall without even painting it. Assemble a book shelf and the back of the shelves can be spread with scrapbook paper and different lights can be used to light up the shelves in different colours. The white wall can also be decorated around like a window as you can hang curtains in front of it from ceiling to floor to give a unique look to the interiors.
