We all love a white wall, as it’s a great backdrop for any color. The color white makes the room appear larger, whereas dark walls can make a room feel small in size. White also diffuses light better than any color and makes the space much brighter.
Momtaz says, “White is bright and when sunlight streams in through your windows that whiteness intensifies, making you feel energized and happy for the day ahead.”
You can complement the white with turquoise and pink accessories, a summery, ice-cream-inspired trio, these are classic colors that together create an appealing combination.
