Timeless and classy white interior
As much as we love colorful rooms, there is one type of space that will never go out of style: all-white interiors.
Whether it's a light and bright kitchen or a colorless living room filled with textures and intriguing art, there's something timeless and soothing about a whitewashed space. Some people stick to white for fear of going wrong with some bolder shades, while others simply enjoy pure classics. Whatever reason you have for choosing white in your interior, know that this look is not always easy to achieve, let alone maintain. Avoid decorating mistakes by following these helpful tips:
TEXTURE IS EVERYTHING!
You can create a lot of depth and interesting layers to a monochromatic design by playing with different textures and materials. An all-white interior does not mean that all shades of white have to be the same. Different shades of white and layering of textures are key, and it's also important to create reflective moments with lighting, mirrors, and a few key pieces of art.
CAREFUL SELECTION OF COLOR
Choosing the perfect white color is not easy, but there are a couple of proven tricks for that too. Always choose the color in accordance with the direction in which the room faces as well as the color tones of the selected furniture, floors, and walls. If the room has a warm vibe, use a warmer white. In contrast, pair the cooler white with chrome or more modern furniture.

INCLUDE NATURAL ELEMENTS
An all-white interior can look quite sterile. This works well if you want the space to be minimal and modern, like a gallery. However, if you want the interior to feel cozy, it's important to incorporate a mix of natural elements with rich textures. Elements that help make a space feel alive provide a great balance for a calmer environment.
MAINTAIN YOUR SPACE
People tend to shy away from white furniture, especially when they live with small children or pets. White furniture and bright carpets can be risky, for example, if you tend to eat food in front of the TV. But there is always a trade-off, so choose durable fabrics that can be maintained more easily.
SHOW YOUR ART
The all-white interior provides the perfect canvas for artworks of any kind. There's a reason galleries are white. The beauty of an all-white interior is that the art really stands out and you have a lot of flexibility. Whether it's a monochrome look, more white textures, or even sculptural art, it all really works.
