Decorating with whites

Sometimes we don't know what to do to have a classic and elegant room. Just using the white color can make the room lack of warmth and its elegant. It is the time to use the range of whites. And don't forget to add other elements into the room, but with the blending of the colors : white.


Texture is important in one-color schemes. Where a room lacks color contrast, just add rugs and fabrics to impart warmth. Gloss-painted floorboards and furniture will reflect the light to provide extra interest.


Paintwork should be part of the color scheme. Use a white which relates to the walls when painting the woodwork and radiators.


Ceilings are often best painted in a pale color to reflect the light, but don't use pure brilliant white. A soft white which tones with the walls prevents a harsh contrast, while pastel shades will subtly offset mouldings and decorations which are painted white. The ceiling is kept white to reflect the maximum amount of the white.


White and ivory make a really effective in the bathroom. White is often used to match bathroom ware, but it can cast a chill where light is limited. Ivory is to add warmth.


Similar shades used for walls and carpet create a most restful setting in the living room. The walls are painted silver grey to picture-rail level to offset the display of paintings, while the French door is stained to match the green-gold shade of the sofa. The ceiling is kept white to reflect the maximum amount of the white.
