How should you incorporate white into your design scheme?



When you are redesigning a room in your home, there are a million different decisions that you will have to make. The first thing you should decide on, however, is the color scheme of the entire space. This will help to inform every other choice that you make, from the kind of chairs that you invest in to how many pieces of furniture that you put in that room.

One of the choices you can make when deciding on your color palette is how to use the color white. There are two main schools of thought on using white, depending on the taste of who you ask. You could always use it as the central color and add bold accents, such as throw pillows or rugs, or have it be the accent color in a room filled with more vibrant and popping shades. A wonderful way to add white to any room is with a Shevon Ceramic Table Lamp, which will also add elegance to the space.
If you are looking to add a major splash of white in your home, a Contemporary Sectional Sofa for your living room will be just what you need.

The main advantage of using white as a main color is that it will give your room a clean and contemporary look. Too many hues in one space can often make a room feel too overwhelming or overstuffed, so many feel it is best to simply leave those richer colors to smaller items, as yellow and orange can be more attractive in small doses instead of completely overtaking a room.

"So how would you like to use white in your own household? Is it better off being a supporting player, or should it be the main focus on a room in your design scheme?"

 On the flip side of this, however, is how colors can create warmth and an inviting atmosphere in a room. If you have too much white in a centralized space, it can make the room seem cold and distant, while richer colors evoke feelings of summer and joy, so spending time in this room could be more enjoyable. It really all depends on what you are trying to evoke and how your personality will seep into your household design choices.
