2. Add a Pop of Colour

Do you have a favourite colour in mind? Instead of clumsily splashing the entire house with that one colour, use it as an accent piece for a sophisticated finish. A bright yellow armchair against a muted couch, a yellow drawer on your glossy white cabinet; the contrast against crisp white walls will elevate the space instantly.

3. Go Au Naturel

Plain white walls can look cold and uninviting. To prevent that, try finding inspiration from nature. Adding a potted plant in each room creates warmth to the space and is visually pleasing for tired eyes. Complement this with natural wood elements to achieve a serene ambience for a home that is perfect for relaxing.

5. Pattern Play

Or you can choose to be bold and invest in perforated wall panels. The feminine patterns on the panels, accentuated with delicate Chinese porcelain create a whimsical yet elegant effect to the entire home. Exquisite pieces like a marbled carpet also works well to ground the room, amplifying the classy grandeur of the house.

6. Let There Be Light

If you are looking to achieve a Scandinavian look, white walls paired with ample natural light from French windows and mirrors create an illusion of additional space. White also acts as a diffuser to create a soft natural glow in the home, achieving a light, airy quality that is great for winding down. Combine your white walls with the natural light to obtain a house that is perfect for a good day rest!
