White living room interior design options
White embodies purity and purity. Solid white objects give the illusion of lightness and flight. Perhaps people who want to have only white shades in their home are very sincere personalities. The living room in these colors will give an opportunity to relax for everyone who will be here, and the owners will show their individual sophistication and sophistication.
Design features in monochrome
Monochrome scales are interior design in such a way where there is a kingdom of one color, in our case - white. Some may think that this decision will look stereotyped, but it is worth setting aside doubts and acting. Experiments in this vein will be very successful and multifaceted.
The main direction of monochrome design is a numerous combination of shades that acquire depth and volume. The white living room has a lot to say about its owners. A monochrome interior, decorated in white tones, is liked by people who have conservative and tough.
Calm colors include beige. Knowing how to arrange the space of a hall or living room in the key of these moods, you can get a balanced overall tone. And for this it is necessary to understand that when choosing a certain direction, only one color should dominate in it.
A here the presence of an additional shade must be minimized. For greater effect, you need to use a combination of different textures.For example, you can combine glossy and matte surfaces (you can add a rough one) or combine wood and metal, or you can “marry” fur and textiles.
To get the most original solutions, connect the volumetric elements to the background of smooth surfaces (for example, make a fragment of brickwork, use 3D panels, and so on).
To make the living room the best it is necessary to unleash the potential of the monochrome interior. And for this you should have at least some idea of the white color and then correctly distribute its shades.
Decoration in light colors will perfectly "fit" into living rooms, which have insufficient light. So light colors will create the diversity of the interior. In this way, all the power of white will be revealed, it will adjust the room and expand its boundaries.
Small rooms and living rooms will look original and optimal when you use white colors to decorate them. You will not reload the interior, it will be laconic and elegant.
However, it is necessary to remember about the disadvantages of white shades. Although they are popular, they differ impracticality and soiled. A with the wrong placement of accents, you can get not a modern and comfortable living room, but a hospital ward, which, unambiguously, will be deprived of comfort.
Style solutions
Previously, a logical combination of colors was welcomed, as well as a logical adherence to one style. Now everything has changed, modern society has advanced far in its ideas about the environment.
Nowadays, design directions are undergoing creative changes as a result of the influence of various trends. Today, many people choose interiors in monochrome with various styles, which began to mix with each other and combine a variety of subtleties. Especially in such unions, white is appropriate.
Light scales can reconcile various directions because of their inherent tolerance.
If you are ready to experiment, then try to get out of the box that gives you certain directions. To do this, it is necessary to conduct an experiment using a certain number of shades of the same paint (in our case, white), textures and things. This will give you a vector. He will lead you to a good solution.
So let's get started.
- Please note that modern items complement the style loft, which is inherent in combining various seemingly incongruous details, such as a brick wall and a wall painted with glossy paint. Light shades will look very good here. Therefore, choose a direction that will dominate.
To this direction, you can add notes of a different style (colonial) in the form of art objects, items of expensive decor.
- An amazing combination of modern and classic styles will lead to rather unusual and beautiful solutions. Try to combine vintage furniture with classic style. The main thing here is to adhere to the direction of the general color scheme. To do this, use textiles with suitable patterns. The classic style will look more noble if it is supplemented with art objects. He will make good friends with traditional trends, such as Empire, neoclassicism.
Both classic and modern styles in combination with Provence, country and vintage styles look very harmonious. And white color in the design favorably "restrains" some of the romance inherent in these areas, and also emphasizes the originality.
- Scandinavian style for light shades is a good choice when paired with other styles. So it is in this case that the emphasized modesty in the color scheme will make the Scandinavian style similar to minimalism. This way we get the most successful combination in the interior. An unusual ethnic style wardrobe, painted in white, can advantageously complement a "stingy" setting.Smooth surfaces and corners inherent in minimalism can be complemented with functional furniture. Natural materials (wood, glass, etc.) are also suitable here. Vintage items will complement the Scandi style well.
Various ornaments made in white shades will only emphasize beauty and restraint. Add to this splendor an old, refurbished white sofa. It will serve as a starting point in a minimalist interior.
- Country music also perfectly coexists with the Scandinavian style. The romantic character will soften the Nordic character of coldness in all its manifestations. In the direction of scandi, there are objects in the retro style. These directions are of the same age, therefore they are perfectly combined with each other.
- The industrial style stands out among others with an unusual atmosphere. When combined with antiques, ultra-modern materials and rough finishes, we get an absolutely incredible sight. As well as the directions of industrial and loft, designers combine with the Scandinavian direction. It turns out to be quite attractive, since the scandi style animates the rough atmosphere with the help of naturalization, which is present in the finishing materials.
- It should be noted that brickwork is an irreplaceable and beneficial backdrop for retro furniture. An assortment of different directions expands the scope. But the main thing here is to adhere to harmony. For example, the combination of a retro style interior and modern furniture will be an excellent complement to both styles - like eclecticism, it can be combined with elements of other trends.
But you need to remember that a combination of more than three styles in the interior will look very tasteless.
And remember about smooth transitionswhen you combine two or three styles in the interior at once.
Finishing options
When you have decided on the color scheme, you can start decorating the living room. It is necessary to choose finishing materials when you have decided on the choice of style.
- Walls. Their finishing should be within the same color range - white. Today on the market you can find many types of finishing materials. For example, the walls in the living room can be plastered, decorated with decorative techniques, painted or pasted over with wallpaper. It is best to focus on one wall. It can be decorated with decorative plaster, and wallpaper can be glued to other walls.
It is not forbidden to use photowall-paper in this case. They "push apart" the space well (just keep in mind, this solution should be sustained in the general range of tones). In a white living room, embossed panels look good under a decorative stone or under a brick.
- Ceiling. It should also be white, which will enlarge the room. If you chose loft or Provence styles, then place beams on the ceiling. Make an embossed ceiling using stucco or lining. These subtleties will also be able to embody the ideas of a certain design.
- Floor. To embody the general color scheme, we choose laminate, parquet or linoleum. Self-leveling floor will look great, but expensive. Floor carpets and rugs will help bring coziness to the living room.
Organization of lighting
There must be relevance in this issue. Cold lighting will suit a strict interior. It must be remembered that light plays one of the main roles in the interior of your living room. White reflects light very strongly. This means that if you choose the wrong angle when installing lamps, your living room will turn into one continuous faceless space, where everything will merge together.
Therefore, try to zone the room with lighting.
In a modern interior where there is minimalism style, you need to install lighting in storage areas, in niches, as well as in other furniture items.
Classic interior suggests central lighting in the form of a large chandelier. A sconce can be placed in the seating area with a sofa or reading chairs.It should be in the general style and in the style of the general color scheme. Place the built-in spotlights in the multi-level ceiling structure.
With this solution, you will be able to visually raise it, and the lighting of the entire living room space will be quite good.
Furniture selection
In order for the living room to meet all the requirements of comfort, put in it a wall that will have a gloss. No wonder this item is considered universal. Here you can keep things in perfect order. And the snow-white wall also has advantages in the form of a stylish and expensive overall look. In addition, you will need other furniture in the living room: several armchairs, a table, chairs, a sofa.
A sofa and armchairs are enough for a small room. The main thing in the living room is the white sofa. It is better to choose a model that is endowed with transformation. The most popular mechanisms include accordion, eurobook, dolphin, French clamshell.
Select furniture based on the overall mood of your living room.
Textiles and decor
So that your choice of interior does not look too impersonal, complement it with various items that will add dynamics. These are things with a pronounced texture, unusual figurines, and so on.
It is necessary to include some decor accents in the monochrome interior, otherwise we will get an office atmosphere. To do this, just put a pot with a plant in the corner, place pillows on the sofa. Will dilute the interior very well high-quality textiles made in cold shades.
Place curtains on the windows, and decorate chairs, chairs and a sofa with a canvas, just choose a tone that will be less easily soiled. And remember that in a small white living room it is better not to overdo it with things. Let there be fewer of them. So that the interior does not seem overloaded, choose the smallest number of accessories.
