Colour Trends 2019: Best White Furniture Ideas For Your Home
When it comes to interiors, colour is definitely not the be-all and end-all. Choose the things you like, in colours that make you happy, and create the perfect space that’s right for you.
Trends, however, are useful when it comes to getting a little inspiration for your home. After all, the general fashions will bring with it a whole new wave of products to match. And if you’re thinking of giving your home a little facelift, then perhaps this year’s colours might be the ones for you!
One of our favourite looks for the year is monochrome – or specifically, black and white.
This is a classic look and one that definitely won’t go out of style making it an ideal choice for your home. And of the best things about it is that you can style it up with different accent colours, or simply leave it plain for a more neutral look.
How to use monochrome in your home
By using different amounts of black and white, you can achieve completely different looks.
For a look that’s more subtle, use more white than black – this is especially better for smaller rooms. Or, if you want to go for a bolder, more striking look, use more black than white – simple!
Black also makes a really good outline so can be used around picture frames, the edges of rugs and mirrors, or around the edge of a room by using furniture such as black bookcases.
Patterns can also be just as striking in monochrome. Think rugs, cushions and smaller items like vases to help you achieve the right balance.
Using white to achieve your look
To achieve the right ratio of white to black, it’s best to start with a blank canvas. This means starting off with white and then working in black until you reach the perfect balance.
