The complex texture of walls, stucco elements, furniture collects dust and dirt on itself, and it is extremely difficult to wash such surfaces, therefore it is better not to use such details.

The influence of white on the human atmosphere

White is usually associated only with bright, positive associations - a white dove, a prince on a white horse, a bride's dress. In the mythology of the Russian people, there was a character "Belun" - a house-man, who brought money to the dwelling. Many colorkles are associated with the hospital.

This color can be annoying, tiring, although at first it calms, relaxes. The eyes in this room also quickly get tired, because the pupil, not observing darker shades, remains narrow all the time. In a standard, not completely white apartment, this window frames, ceilings, sometimes wallpaper, plumbing, tulle on the windows, bed linen, part of the kitchen furniture and household appliances. Advice: snow-white shades most often form an apartment where they do not live permanently, but are only periodically.

What should be the lighting

White is the color of the midday sun. The smaller the room, the more light it requires. Zoning of the space, one way or another, is carried out in any apartment - each zone is lighted separately: over the bed - diffused light, where a person reads, writes, draws, works at a computer, handicrafts, lighting is made as bright or adjustable. In the kitchen, the working area is brightly illuminated, and the dining room is slightly weaker. In the nursery each corner is sufficiently illuminated. In the bathroom, your own light source is needed above each plumbing fixture. Loggia, dressing room are also equipped with lamps. Illuminated and all the large mirrors, especially the one that is located above the dressing table. The floor perimeter should preferably be illuminated with an LED strip, especially if the family has small children and elderly people - it is difficult for them to navigate in the dark if they have to get up at night.

The warmer the light in the room, the more comfortable feel it is in it. Warm light is associated with the sun, in a "snowy" apartment it is required a lot. Cold lighting is suitable only for the kitchen or the hallway.

Do I need accent spots

The accent elements will not be superfluous - without them the room seems boring, lifeless. To make accents in snow-white space is much easier than in any other. To the interior did not seem excessively strict, it is added textures - textile elements, rounded corners of furniture, glass and metal. Indoor flowers, whether violets, palms, cactus, well complement the space, animating it.

Contrast photo wallpapers on one wall are allocated a separate zone - for rest, work, sports, etc. Draperies on furniture are combined in color with curtains, carpet - with screens or paintings on the walls. But it is not necessary to create many accents - chaos will arise.

White or accent furniture

Advantages of white furniture:

  • pure color, beautiful shape;
  • the illusion of space - expands space, being unobtrusive;
  • cosiness - has to rest, relaxation.

Upholstered furniture is better equipped with removable covers, even white ones - they are easier to wash than to wipe the stain off the couch.

Dark furnishings on a light background look no less profitable, but a solid closed dark wardrobe or a huge leather sofa is completely unacceptable here - a dark spot will ruin the design idea. Soft furniture is then made into light furniture, cabinets are decorated with silver inserts, mirrors. The kitchen set creates the necessary contrast in the room and can become the only color accent on a light background.
