What element broke the monotony in this room? If you answered the rich, wood flooring, then you’re correct. Featured here is the Brookston King Bed from Fine Furniture Design.<\/p><\/div>\n

Keeping a home white and neutral can make a dark space appear illuminated and spacious. And since autumn and winter are seasons that require you to shut the windows, then a monochromatic color palette will definitely work to your advantage.<\/p>\n

Now here\u2019s a word of caution; a monochrome home could easily look bland, too, so you have to know how to set up a white-walled home without making it appear this way.<\/p>\n

Choose the Right Furniture <\/strong><\/p>\n

The first step in achieving a beautiful neutral home is to pick the right pieces of furniture. In the living room, for instance, the right couch, accent pieces, and chairs can complement even the whitest of white walls. Stick with off-white cotton or linen on your seat fabrics. The right amount of wood elements will balance the starkness.<\/p>\n

Add a Dash of Color<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here and there, don\u2019t be afraid to add a dash of color that will balance the whitewashed surroundings. While your chosen style is streamlined and clean, it won\u2019t hurt to add a pop of color that will cap the look.<\/p>\n

An example is to put brass or gold hardware in an all-white kitchen. The hanging pendants in that room, if well chosen, should provide the necessary welcoming ingredient to the whitewashed ambiance.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Correct Lighting Only <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Boho chic room should have soft and romantic lighting. Nothing about it should be jarring, as this will only emphasize the unembellished theme that you\u2019re setting up.<\/p>\n

The Parisian bedroom is no longer just a dream. You can have this right in your own bedroom when you use twinkle lights along with a rustic wood headboard. Add a pair of warm-colored bed sconces and you have an intentionally stylish place of rest.<\/p>\n

The Right Kind of White Please <\/strong><\/p>\n

You might think that whitewashing your home immediately means buying gallons of white paint. A monochrome home can have several layers of shades of the same neutral color.<\/p>\n

When you still haven\u2019t decided on the color that you would use to paint your room, be sure to pay attention to the lighting. A room that\u2019s filled with natural light will naturally provide a warm tone. This is the room that needs the cool shades of white with gray or blue hues to balance the whiteness.<\/p>\n

In the same manner, a smaller room that needs artificial lighting most hours of the day would benefit from the warmer shades of beige and creams.<\/p>\n

Remember that white rooms can easily feel monotonous so know how to break up the zones by adding the correct textures and layers. Layering elements could be wooden logs, bricks, even that cozy area rug that you\u2019ve been eyeing for the longest time.<\/p>\n

Be Realistic <\/strong><\/p>\n

It pays to know your home. Not every shade or tint of white can work in your home. Of course, you still have to approach this project with a realistic mind. If your kitchen is a mess each time you end your cooking, then it would be a bad idea to have white walls there.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re an art lover, then you can showcase a masterpiece on a blank wall. This can be that wide space right above the headboard or it can also be that spacious wall in the living room.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019ve decided to stage a Scandinavian space or just the cute shabby chic details, it\u2019s really up to you. Just know that white is a wonderful canvas but it has the power to break your design scheme, too, so be very careful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
