Speaking about home décor, if there is one colour you can never go wrong with, and almost always blindly choose if you’re confused, it is white.
The symbol of peace and calm, white’s appeal is universal. From time immemorial, it has appeared everywhere from grand monuments clad in marble to small and serene Zen gardens. So no surprises then that the colour has the unique power to lift up any space in your home without much effort.
Want to make your spaces look larger than they are? Go for white. Want to always remain in trend? Go for white. Want to choose a subtle background against which you can hang or place your precious art? Go for white. As the poet Keats might have put it (with a little nudge): “Beauty is white, white beauty”! Here are some of the ways you can incorporate it into your home and create a White oasis of calm.
White accents in the kitchen
Kitchen is the one place where one needs to be composed in order to create some culinary magic. Make it a pleasant place to work by adding some soothing white accents. Say, a wall with white tiles that forms a beautiful, neutral background to your shelves and counters. And even on the counters, you can play around with white jars and bowls that will not only be readily accessible but also add to the overall aesthetic.
Cozy white nooks to relax
The most powerful combination that can lift up any space in your home is the meeting of natural light and white interiors. It instantly creates a space that exudes warmth, is inviting and welcoming, and encourages you to slow down and reflect. Go for an all-white table, whose beauty can easily be accentuated by a contrasting chair in a darker tone or a single pot of plant on top, making it the perfect spot to unwind.
White crockery that rejuvenates
While trends for the latest crockery that involves intricate designs will come and go, the simple whites will never let you down. And when we say white, we’re not strictly suggesting you to give up playfulness. The best way to make the white shine is to thrown in a subtle element of colour, like a blue-rimmed cup and saucer. Waking up and having your bed tea in a rejuvenating white ensemble is the perfect start to the day!
Rejuvenating White in the bedroom
A bedroom is arguably the most important room in a home. It’s where one’s body is nourished, relaxed or rejuvenated after a hard day’s labour. So make it a space that has a stamp of your aesthetic, the stylistic flourish that announces that it’s a calming space where you feel instantly at home after work. And what better colour to say so than white? Think white walls with understated artworks, crisp white linen, a white vase with your favourite flowers. It’s the perfect dream room to dream your dreams!
