Many people are convinced that the walls in a room should be made as bright as possible.

It is believed that if this condition is met, the interior will acquire “juiciness” and beauty.

Red, orange and yellow colors really attract attention and make the room look interesting and unusual.

However, Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti in the field of design and interior, still recommends making the walls white.

Especially if the main feature of the room is the furniture.

Why are colored walls worse than white ones?

There is a simple explanation: bright walls distract attention from interesting interior details.

Have you installed expensive and beautiful furniture, but at the same time used bright finishing materials?

In this case, beautiful objects will simply “get lost” against an overly bright background.

Want unusual furniture and interesting decorative elements to still attract attention? Then make the walls white!

This is a very effective design trick: important parts of the interior gain brightness against a neutral background. At the same time, the laconicism is preserved.
