The Strength of White In Interior Design

Celebrities are undeniable fashion and style icons, and this spills over into interior design as well. In actual fact, a survey was recently done by the Better Home Exhibition that revealed celebrities were among the top sources of inspiration for people updating their own homes. In reality of course, most celebrities employ professional designers to consult on the hottest trends and rarely do the work themselves. An interior designer to some of Hollywood's biggest stars has told one newspaper that people wanting to create an impressive room can structure their design around a centerpiece, such as a piece of white bedroom furniture. Usually this is quite a large piece such as big white wardrobes, and it can afford to be as it is a neutral colour. This is not something that works as easily with say a bright yellow or blue piece, as these will overpower all the supplemental colours in the room. Kelly Wearstler told the Daily Mail that a big, bold centrepiece can provide inspi
ration and ideas for the rest of a room's design, such as the bedside table or curtain design, and said that she loves the use of white and black to create contrast.Wearstler is one of many designers who use the black/white contrast in their work, a movement that finds its roots in the 80's but has seen a resurgence of late. She said "I have such fun playing around with whites and blacks as they can be fitted in to any design you think of. It's the textures and materials that make it interesting." She added that rooms suffering from a lack of depth can really be enhanced by clean and sharp colours. Wearstler lastly commented that any room which looks untidy or messy, even when their is no clutter, really needs the colour scheme simplifying and more whites and blacks being injected into it. Its not a simple thing to get right, but if youre strict with the colors you use, you can pull off a very sleek look.
