How to design a white interior

White works in every room. It defines a calm atmosphere that’s inviting. White also means cleanness and style, which is why white kitchens are very common. Perfect for every room, white can help with limited space, making it look bigger and more luminous. 

But most people fear a bland white interior, thinking it might feel cold and not cosy. To avoid this, follow the number one rule of using white: layering whites. Mismatch various nuances of white with natural shades to get the warm cosy feeling of home. The way to do this is your choice. You can choose white statement pieces and add accessories in other shades to enhance the look. Or go for neutral shades for the bigger furnishings and use white to make them stand out. Always try to create a balanced look – all white is never enough.
