Using White in your Home Decoration
Posted by GuestPoster in -Home and Furnishings
White comes in a great many subtle variations of colors and tones. Just one white standing alone is easily described. It is simply white. A selection of whites seen together reveal that tones of white can be warm, cool, dull, bright, old, faded, blue, brown, etc. Brilliant white is the most reflective of all of the whites, and can be hard and dazzling when it sits along the rest of your home decoration. For example, with a color such as bone white, which is warm, soft, and natural, your home decor will look different than when the white has tones of blue, which would be fresh and cool.
The many white variations that can now buy as named paint colors have been created to meet the demand for color free decorating schemes based on the idea of a pure style. Color and synthetics have no place in this white world, only natural fabrics and materials in a variety of white textures used together to create a harmonious, peaceful environment. The only acceptable color here is the natural wood used for furniture and flooring, or the living green leaves of an indoor plant. It may sound like an impossible dream, but if the style is used in just one room it is simplicity itself. A bedroom or bathroom will be easiest, but good storage is essential because colorful clutter will ruin the effect.
Use a chalky white distemper paint for the walls in your bedroom. Floors can be sanded and polished if the wood is pale, otherwise floorboards can be painted white. Scattered sheepskins or white flokati rugs are the perfect way to create islands of warmth on wooden floors and make the most deliciously soft bedside rugs. Sheer, floaty white curtain panels, white wooden shutters or natural linen blinds are all suitable for windows.
