There is nothing quite as restful on the eye as the purity of a fresh white interior space. Coming home to an uncomplicated white living room decor scheme can bring you peace and serenity after a day away in a world that is visually cluttered with an endless confusion of colour. A plain scheme is like a cool calming breath of fresh air. If a lounge devoid of colour doesn’t appeal to you, then decorating the room to have a pure white backdrop also gives you the perfect canvas on which to splash a selection of brighter furniture and accessories that you can change out easily at will.
Our first white living room has a light grey settee that looks upon a slimline console shelf, which spans the length of the room. Above the television is a row of wall cabinets that merge seamlessly with the underside of a soffit. A black Eames bird matches the dark window frames, where the white living room curtains open to one side to allow in more natural light.
