White is often disregarded as a colour to use when decorating one’s home. It can be seen as an uninteresting and unimaginative choice but this couldn’t be further from the truth. White lends itself to contemporary design and clean lines. It works well in a multitude of rooms including the bedroom and living room.

 

Choosing an all-over white colour scheme for your room may seem like a dramatic statement to make but it can bring feelings of purity, cleanliness and spirituality to any home.

 

 

It’s important to remember that not all whites are snow white, so if you find bright whites too dazzling, why not try something slightly less daunting such as Crown’s Sail White or Milk White in your bedroom. Complete the look with textured accessories to prevent your room from looking clinical. Wool or fur rugs as well as 3D lampshades and headboards work well to add personality to a room.

 

Your living room can also be transformed into a chic, modern room by opting for white tones. Crown’s Classic Collection has a number of fantastic white shades that will work in your living area such as Organic White and Classic Silk.

 

White can be used in a number of ways to create a relaxing environment in your living room. It can be used to create a sleek, contemporary room complete with all of your technical gadgets. Think uncluttered and minimal for this look. Another way of using white in your living room is to create a romantic and luxurious room with sweeping curtains and lots of pretty accessories. Try using lace with candles to incorporate silver and dusty pink into the room.

 

White can be a great starting point for adding colour into your home. Even the most reluctant decorator can get it right with a white based room. Add a splash of your favourite colour by incorporating accessories or furniture of your chosen colour. Red is particularly effective against white walls as seen below. Try using patterned soft furnishings such as rugs or cushions for an instant style update.
