Interior in white color

White is a "color without color": it contains the entire spectrum, but in this casemany people do not consider it a color. In many cultures, white is the color of purity and innocence, it's not for nothing that the bride marries in white dresses. And at other solemn events this color is also used, because it is both simple and refined, strict and refined.

Try to revive the white interior with live plants in pots. Elegantly will also look floral arrangements of white flowers: white roses, lilies or callas.

Only with patterns it is important not to overdo it, let them cover one thing: either the wallpaper, or the curtains, or the carpet, but not all at once. White walls can be enlivened by paintings. Or try to play against the contrast of textures.

If you like hi-tech style, then white color can be successfully combined with glass and metal (aluminum, steel, chrome parts) elements of furniture and decor.

Very important in the white interior is light. It is best to decorate a room in white,the windows of which look to the south or east: on a sunny day it will be flooded with light reflected from the walls and ceiling, then your white interior will "play". Another thing is to take care of local spotlight: the play of light and shadow will make the room more cozy. It is the backlight that makes the interior warm or cold, soft or fresh.

Despite the finicky and marchiness of white, he has a lot of advantages. It allows you to visually expand the space,create a sense of space, scale and ease. But at the same time a properly selected shade of white in combination with the corresponding textures can make the room cozy.
