The popular believe is, that choosing white as the main color of a design scheme is the easiest “bullet-proof” solution.
Far from it! Deciding to go for an all-white decorating scheme can be the beginning of a large set of problems. White rooms are much more complex than they appear, because there are no distractions. Every choice becomes critical. White can be very boring or cold and clinical. However, used in the right way, it can be a very dramatic color.
Check out these 6 tips that can help you to create a dynamic all white interior.
///// ADD TEXTURES Avoid a sea of perfectly smooth white surfaces. Choosing textured furnishings and decorative objects in several tonal variations adds interest to an all-white scheme and avoids a stark and clinical feel. Stick to soft whites, then vary the tones for depth. Play with texture, such as matt finishes and limewashes, and add accents.
///// WALLS Uses a variety of different paint finishes and add extra interest to white walls. White can hide imperfections in old walls, make tiny rooms seem larger than they really are and transform a dark area into a light and airy space.

///// TIP: If you have old and imperfect cracked walls, keep them as they are and oppose them with high polished sleek finishes.
///// WHITE ACCENT WALLS Instead of the usual choice of saturated colors, white makes for an unexpected accent wall. A individual white wall can create a bright focal point in a room, can create an anchor to a seating area or showcase art.
