When decorating a home, many people ignore the color white because it is strongly associated with a hospital.

Belnovosti online publication expert designer Yulia Tychino gave some advice that will help you expand the space with white. It doesn't look like a clinic at all!

The right shade

If you're talking about a lot of white, such as when you're planning to paint walls, choose a warm shade.

Cool white will look harmonious on the ceiling or small accents.

You can dilute the “severity” created by white color with the help of indoor plants.

By the way, if you add wooden elements to this combination, for example, stands for flowerpots, you will be able to create a Scandinavian design or even an eco style.

Don't forget about accents

If white has been chosen as the main color for the room, adding bright colors using accents will not hurt.

The main thing is not to overdo it, 1-3 saturated colors are enough. Use accents pointwise, otherwise their excess will create a feeling of motleyness.
