\"white-2\"It is surprisingly easy to make a striking statement with an all-white theme.<\/p>\n

White can also help your home feel lighter and brighter and can give the impression of space, airiness, clarity and purity.<\/p>\n

It can be a difficult colour to live with as it is obviously unpractical if you have children, pets or live in a muddy area.<\/p>\n

White can also sometimes make a room look sparse or cold.<\/p>\n

However, if used in the correct way, white can be a highly successful theme.
\nHere are a few tips for using white:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Add interest in ways other than colour. Choose unusual pieces of furniture and mix different styles.<\/li>\n
  2. Look at different variations of the colour white. There is obviously bright white, but you can also go for a more muted white or even branch into creams and greys. These can take the edge of the starkness which can sometimes result from an all white theme.<\/li>\n
  3. Add some neutral colours to the floor or window treatments. Wicker and wood are good at warming up your white design scheme.<\/li>\n
  4. Go for floaty voiles for your curtains and match with light furniture to give an airy impression.<\/li>\n
  5. Texture is very important. Mix smooth and glossy furniture with fluffy rugs and cushions.<\/li>\n
  6. It can also be a good idea to add some colour, while keeping the overall theme white. An accent of red, purple or even black can make a bold statement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The combination of black and white together can leave you with a dramatic look. Using black to accentuate certain accessories, light fixtures or furniture can sharpen any decorating scheme and add elegance.<\/p>\n

    If you think a completely black and white theme is a bit too dramatic, then try adding touches of another colour such as pink, yellow or purple, while still keeping black and white the prominent colours.<\/p>\n

    A further advantage of having a white theme is it’s an extremely good base for any future decorating ideas. It can be simple to subtly alter the overall look by ading a colourful rug, changing the window treatments, or adding throws and cushions. A white theme is one which can be continually updated without having a complete overhaul of your house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
