Reinvent Your Home: All White Design

Have you always wanted to design a space with a white theme, but aren’t sure where to begin? We have useful tips and tricks that are easy to implement and are guaranteed to bring a sense of freshness to your space.

White is a fresh, clean and pure color, and experimenting with shades of white adds contrast and depth to your space. Think of an open, airy space as a “palate cleanser” says Will Meyer, a New York City-based interior designer. White can be difficult to work with, and it’s easy to wash out a space if you do not include the right level of contrast throughout your space. Create contrast so you can avoid “having your all-white space look like a sheet-rock box” says Meyer.

Texture and contrast are two simple ways to design an all white space while developing your personal aesthetic.  Minimal contrast in shades of white adds dimension to an all-white design, as does textured flooring. Focus on the details in an all white space to accentuate the existing elements in your home. If you want to redesign your entire home in an all white theme increase the scale of contrast and choose one space to paint a dark color. The higher level of contrast that exists in a white space will make it more successful and engaging. Artwork, throw pillows and decorate accessories will make more of a splash!

If you’re lucky enough to have ample natural light it will flawlessly accentuate an all white space, but if you lack the right amount of light experiment with glowing light for a warming effect. White spaces achieve their goal of openness when light flows into the space accentuating your choices in furniture and accessories.

A white space often calls for contemporary luxury furniture echoing Scandinavian aesthetics to play on the simplicity of a white aesthetic. Include accessories that accentuate luxury furniture, and choose an accent color that lends toward a vibrant color palette.If your taste lies in traditional luxury furniture choose accessories that offer continuity within the existing elements of your home for a cohesive look and feel.

Remember to add personal touches throughout your home. Flowers often accentuate a white space with a pop of color, and your favorite bWhiteDesignCollageooks exude a homey feeling no matter the space.

Throw pillows in bright colors instantly make a space more vibrant, but make sure to place color strategically not to detract too much from white themed space. All white spaces are beautiful and offer a contemporary avenue to those who want to create a luxurious space that also feels open and airy.
