White color is a priority

Designers call white the most interesting, sophisticated and richest shade. Amazing, right? The reason is this. that white color is very “mobile” and works great with other colors. This is the color of calm and tranquility, grace and wisdom.

White color can be warm or cold - the mood of the resulting interior may depend on this. To get the right cool shade, you need to add a little black or blue to the white pigment. The result will be such exquisite shades as “parchment” and “alabaster”. Warm shades look cozier and are created by adding ocher, sienna and other natural earth pigments to the white pigment, resulting in a warmer base.

If the windows face east or north, then it is better to choose a warm color for the walls in the bedroom. And, conversely, it is better to compensate for light coming from the west or south with cool shades. White color allows you to level out the area of the room: if the room is small, it is enough to paint the floor and walls white.

White interior is the most neutral and basic. You can create a certain mood with the help of accessories and accents of any color - here you are limited only by your imagination.
