Five Ways to Spice Up Your White Interiors

Are you simultaneously excited by and terrified of a white interior? White is known for having a clean, calming aesthetic but can be difficult to maintain as it shows dust and other marks more prominently. Our team at Rachel Brosky Interiors has put together some easy ways for you to add a little zest to a white interior.

1. If you think white is too dull to use as a primary color in your decor, we can assure you it isn’t. Like all colors, it can look dull and flat, but that’s easily avoided by incorporating textures and patterns. Throw blankets, pillows, and area rugs are fun ways to add personality and style to an all-white interior. The right window treatment can also add texture to a space. We’re thinking the cellular structure of Duette® Honeycomb Shades would really pop on your windows without changing the dynamic of the decor theme. An added perk to honeycomb shades is that they absorb sound and provide insulation to keep your home at a more comfortable temperature.
2. An all-white interior doesn’t have to be absolutely and completely white. A space filled with a single color can be overwhelming for the eyes. Adding dark accents sparingly around the room gives eyes a spot to stop and rest while also encouraging people to look around the whole room. If your goal is to keep a minimalist space with clean lines, we encourage you to consider Designer Roller Shades for the windows. Roller shades offer a sleek, straightforward design without being boring or frumpy. More than 400 fabric options give you several dark choices to complement a white area.
3. Think about the last time you saw a white interior paired with gleaming metal or warm wood accents. We’re willing to bet it looked sophisticated and welcoming. Do the same in your own interior with stainless steel or brushed nickel fixtures or by staining wood trim in dark mahogany. Make a shining statement with Modern Precious Metals® Aluminum Blinds in marble or matte finish for a room where you entertain. Parkland® Wood Blinds in a light or dark stain finish will add instant warmth and character to your space and make guests feel right at home.
4. Mix and match shades of white to maintain your desired color scheme with a little more visual interest. Choose a sofa or sectional in a shade of white you love and pair it with chairs in a slightly different shade. You’d be amazed at how many varieties of white exist in the decorating world! Layering window treatments is a great way to add some excitement to a room and also combine two shades of white on a single element. Consider pairing light-colored linen panels from the Design Studio™ Side Panels & Drapery line with Pirouette® Window Shadings in the shade or two lighter than your drapery.
5. Placing houseplants in a white interior adds another level of renewal and life that perfectly complements a light background. The real deal or faux will work just fine, depending on the time you have available for care and how green your thumb is.
