Sometimes, white can come across as a cold colour to decorate with. Most homeowners shy away from it because they are afraid to create a room that is not confortable or welcoming but, paired with the right elements you can give this colour a twist and make it appear warm, cozy and elegant!
One of the greatest benefits of this colour is, that when you paint the walls of a room in white, you are working with a blank canvas and you have the freedom to choose any other colour to complement it opposed to working with a bold colour or wallpaper on the wall, you will have more trouble finding the right pieces to suit that wall.

White also acts as a highlighter for crown moldings and craftsman details in an older home. Some great ways to warm up your white rooms is by adding wood elements, wood is always a great idea to do this as it can warm up even the most sporadic white room. Other ways to warm up white rooms is to add natural textures and patterns to the decor to create a room that has depth and interest. |

When it comes to painting your walls white, make sure to choose the right shade of white, there are hundreds of shades to choose from and believe it or not, they are all different! Specially when it comes to the light in a room, all whites have an undertone that could be pink, green, yellow, purple all the way to blue.
At the end of the day nothing says clean, airy and bright like white. That is why for me White, is one of my favourite colours to decorate with and I try to implement it in all the rooms I work with.
