ALL WHITE NOW
An all-white colour palette brings a timeless sense of serenity to any space – and in this case, where the textures are soft, worn cotton and sheer linen, the effect is instantly soothing and settling, the perfect combination for a quiet reading room.
Design Notes
Natural fibres in the rugs underfoot, on the sofa cushions and the soft woven blanket break up the all-white scene and bring tactile pleasure to this living room scene.
Here, the crisp white tone brings a fresh and uncomplicated flavour to the interior. For a sun-splashed space, a cooler white works best while a warmer shade is best for rooms that don’t see as much light.
♦ A splash of colour (here, in the form of a Heath Nash wirework) breaks up the blank canvas and brings in a quirky focal point to the space.
♦ Here, the pared down palette is reflected in a trio of stools painted white but their interesting shapes ensure the monochrome scene is anything but monotonous.
Before committing to a color of paint or fabric in white, you must be certain that they marry well with space. Exposed from the front to sunlight, white fabrics can take on a yellow tone and paints that are too white can take on a blue tint.
