///// White has the power to unify incoherent spaces.
White on the walls and floors harmonizes the space and creates continuity from one room to another. It encourages flow and makes a room quiet and relaxing to the eye.
///// On the floor, white makes a daring statement. White hardwood changes the entire look and feel of a space, creating an open, bright appearance. Painting floorboards in a white shade, will add to the illusion of space. For a white opaque finish on floorboards use Acrylic Enamel Floor paint in a low gloss. For a softer washed-white that highlights the timber’s grain, choose a wood wash paint.
///// White can soften architectural peculiarities.
If everything's painted white, then that odd pipe or ugly door almost magically disappears.
///// White makes old things seem more current. Do you have a divers mix of old furniture and only a limited budget? Get white paint and start painting your furniture. Mixing various styles and materials will create an interesting space with understated personality. Mismatching furniture, all painted white will work perfect together. Tip: make sure to select different shades of white and different effects like velvet, lacquer or crackle finish.
///// White upholstery can be practical. Let the white be lived in, even if you have children. Use pre-shrunk slipcovers in machine washable materials. Don't iron. Embrace the crumpled, imperfect look.
//// Use outdoor fabrics inside. Faux leathers, fur and suedes are also very forgiving. Use vinyl to give the sense of texture without sacrificing stain resistance.
///// Use white drapes. If you have young children, don’t cover everyday pieces in white fabrics. Instead choose white-linen curtains, which are much less likely to get stained, specially if you add a contrasting colored border to the bottom of the curtain, where the fabric grazes the floor.
///// To accentuate a room’s height hang long white drapes as close to the ceiling as possible.
/////Add rows of white portieres.
According to M.Smith, the "utterly simple curtains are made from 200 yards of pure white medium-weight Italian linen with a matte satin finish, hung with a glamorous drape from plain wrought iron rods."
