​Go White with Every Fabric in the House

10th Mar 2016

While white may seem a boring color to some, it has actually proven itself to be one of the most dramatic colors around. It is considered as pristine by most, cozy by some, and neat and uniform by most others. Adorning your home’s furniture with white fabric can help open up the smallest spaces and bring cohesion to large rooms filled with lots of items.

However, it is important to note that not all whites match. Once you begin putting together different tones, it cannot be assumed that they will all work well. Instead, they need to be scrutinized next to each other to see if they will blend.

Why Use White Upholstery Fabric?

With white upholstery fabric, there are no distractions and a lot of room for creative expression. When white fabric is used as a foundation, it can make other colors pop. Using white with lots of natural textures can help give the room a distinct character ranging from classic and rustic to contemporary and modern. Plus, using white fabric as the main decorative feature in any room can also help soften any architectural quirks in that space.

White Fabric Can Work Well With Any Color Scheme

White’s association with fresh and clean can be very practical. The color makes using outdoor fabrics inside a cinch. Among other things, white is easy to pair up with a range of hues. The color palette can be as soft as pastels, or as bold as busy patterns. White can also make old things seems more current and new things vice versa. It is a color that has a lot of range with the power to make everything seem simplistic yet strong at the same time.

White Fabric Can Unify Different Areas Of The Home

White has the power to unify disjointed places. When placed on the walls or underfoot, white can easily harmonize the space and establish continuity from one room to the next. In this respect, white encourages flow around the home whereas an abrupt change in color may destroy the sight line. An all-white decorating scheme, on the other hand can also let you move furniture around. For instance, a white upholstered chair pulled from the living room can work equally well at the dining table.

White Never Goes Out Of Fashion

Since white is eternally fashion forward, it becomes easy to freshen up or spruce a white room by simply swapping out one or two items in any room for a complete makeover. For instance, a white bedroom can be quickly reinvigorated by trading colored throw pillows or changing the rug or a piece of artwork. Or simply use a plaid blanket on a white sheet set to add color and pattern to the room.

The addition of an accent color or two in a room that is otherwise upholstered in white can give the whole room a new look with minimal effort.
