White is certainly the color of the season as far as interior design is concerned. Modern, contemporary interiors in warm white shades are certainly the rage in interior decorations these days. White interiors have an elegant and sophisticated look. Moreover, white living room design or bedroom decor is quite popular these days due to the serenity and simplicity it evokes. White is a soothing and serene color. It is also considered the most refreshing color in the color spectrum as it evokes purity, cleanliness, and confidence. It also works beautifully as a backdrop or foundation for the rest of the decor. A white foundation can work as a perfect blank space for creating a striking place which is timeless in its elegance. Alternatively, it can also become the perfect backdrop to showcase your art or display your treasure or collections.
Also popular among interior decorators is the all-white look with little to no color accents. And while an all-white interior sounds stark and cold, when decorated carefully, it can be warm, inviting and fabulously stylish. Also well-known for its flexibility, white goes well with all other colors. This quality can help you create a sophisticated and seamless decor. The trick is to layer the decor in various shades of white. This makes the decor look uniform as well as symmetrical. However, if you are looking to add accents to an all-white decor, warm and light colors are a perfect choice. Natural materials also help enliven a stark white decor.
