Summer is the ideal time of year to go
light and white in your living space. With long summer evenings and
plenty of sunshine during the day (we wish!) a white living room can
lift the spirits and the improve style of your home.
We can take interior design ideas from
our neighbours across the pond who have some great coastal living
rooms, which are predominately white. If you don't fancy a coastal
theme travel to Scandinavia and be inspired by their beautiful white
living spaces.
White doesn't have to be boring,
hostile or clinical looking is you include plenty of pattern, albeit
that they are subtle ones, and plenty of different textures. Mix and
match rough with smooth and highlight your living space with
accessories in a dark contrasting colour – this could be a dark
slate grey or a natural dark oak.
If you have wooden flooring wooden
blinds will compliment each other beautifully. Look for whitecurtains which have a subtle repeat pattern – if you're using grey
as your accent silvery scrolls or trailing foliage will add
sufficient interest to highlight your windows without them being too
dominant.
