White interiors: a firm favourite through time


White interiors: a firm favourite through time

Depending on the culture, white as a colour has a strong meaning, primarily symbolizing purity and goodness. White is the most commonly used colour in interior design, especially in areas where bathing, cleaning and food preparation are prevalent. In technical terms, white is not a colour, but a manifest of all colours, forming a complex
energy field of light. White is the colour of truth, the colour of power – white, to some, in one simple word, is perfection.

White light actually contains all the colours within it, we just can’t see them as they are being reflected. The neutral “colours” range from white, through the greys to black. White reflects all light, so it makes spaces appear larger and that is why it is used on ceilings. Most ceilings and bathrooms are white, plus a good proportion of bathroom and kitchen fittings and appliances -probably since everything matches well with white. Just imagine a bathroom in traditional white marble.

White gives us the impression of cleanliness and good hygiene, this is another reason why we like to use white in a bathroom and kitchen – if there is any dirt, you can see it and scrub it clean. Adaptable and elegant, white interiors have been popular for centuries from the days of lead paint through to today’s glossy architecture.

Depending on your taste in décor, white adapts well to minimalism or maximalism. Use it as a blank canvas with your beloved colourful bits and bobs and works of art, or layer white on white for ultra-chic ambience.

We are well into a new millennium, but the recipe for an all-white room remains the same: use texture upon texture, with just the right light and do beware of red wine, children and pets.
