White is one of the most usual colors in home decoration, being present in all the rooms of the house due to its versatility to be combined. Its light-capturing properties enable it to provide brightness to small dark spaces. For this reason, white is a must for home decoration in all those regions located in the north of Europe.

An added value is white’s capacity to visually enlarge spaces, especially in the smallest rooms of the house, like a hall or a reception area, a dining-room or a bedroom; painting walls or ceilings with white, may be a useful technique to create a nice, spacious feel, full of light.

Decorating with white

Furthermore, white suits perfectly any color. It becomes a solid base to introduce other colors as an accent, offering the possibility of creating bold contrasts and introducing striking textures and materials. Decorating with white may give your house a new breath whenever you decide it. It is enough with renovating clothing and textiles, for example, to get a completely different vibe.
