Decorating: How To Enhance An All-White Living Room Using Pops Of Colour

An all-white living room offers a very modern and memorable approach to decorating. Yet, any rooms furnished in white requires careful accessorising. In a nutshell, exploring different contrasts is the surest means to make your white interior memorable and impressive. And here are some of the best, the most effective ideas on how to enhance an all-white living room using pops of colour:

Choose up to three accentuating colours

The amount of accentuating colours will mostly depend on your room size. If the living room is really large, you can have three different splash shades in the room — but no more. In a really small room, one bright shade in all of the accessories will be enough — more will create clutter.

Go for bright soft furniture upholstery

Bright soft furniture upholstery can be one of those accentuating colours in your all-white living room. Nothing looks better that a bright, deep warm sofa in an all-white wooden or high gloss environment. Cold shades also work fine, but warm ones are better to enhance an all-white interior, which already features enough coldness.

Contrast with dark wood floors

Another idea on how to enhance an all-white living room would be to contrast white furniture with dark wood floors. You do not necessarily have to go really dark — Canadian oak, teak, and walnut will work fine with white furniture, no matter if the latter one is made of genuine wood or of MDF in high gloss finish.

Add tinted glass or glossy plastic

This idea is more suitable for a high gloss living room. A tempered glass coffee table or a couple of glossy plastic chairs in the dining area — if any, of course — will provide a relief from the all-white decoration pattern. Colourful plastic will give the room a cheerful, modern look.

Explore the greenery of live plants

To enhance an all-white living room using pops of colour, you do not necessarily have to think in terms of furniture and accessories only. Live plants, for example, will add a touch of greenery into the white room, making the interior fresh and crisp. A more colourful flower arrangement centred on the coffee or console table can add even more colour into the room.

Use one bold contrast

As it was already mentioned, in a small room you should better stick to few accents — and quite often, just one bright accessory will be more than enough. A bright sofa is a perfect example.

Finally, while looking for white living room furniture or bright accessories to enhance your interior, stick to local stores. In the UK, one of the best platforms to get started is Furniture in Fashion. It offers an astonishing selection of highest quality furniture from the best local and international manufacturers at very affordable prices. Moreover, it offers a chance to examine furniture prior to the purchase — company showroom is open from Monday to Saturday — which is a huge plus while looking for complete living room furniture collections.
