2482 views,

Just ten years ago, when choosing furniture, many were guided by such a criterion as practicality, diligently avoiding sofas, chairs and snow-white kitchen units. The established stereotype gradually became obsolete, and white furniture became a symbol of impeccable taste, elegance and purity. A sparkling snow-white shade expands the space, filling it with air and comfort. We’ll talk further about how to choose the right white furniture, what it goes well with, and what secrets there are in the process of arranging a home.

Features of white color

Properly selected white furniture can instantly transform a room, giving it a touch of solemnity. In the subconscious, the shade is associated with freshness and purity. However, not every housewife can decide to equip a living room or kitchen with such furniture. The opinion that white flooring needs additional care is wrong, and in Western countries you can quite often see apartments and houses harmoniously furnished with snow-white sofas, bar counters and wide countertops.

If you choose the walls and floor to match the color of such furniture, set off the noble white color with playful shades and add stylish details, then it will be able to reveal itself to the fullest. White color in the interior has the following features:

• gives the room a feeling of cleanliness;
• all furniture looks more expressive;
• the space visually expands;
• there is a feeling of comfort and coziness;
• dust is hardly noticeable on the surface of white furniture;
• Snow-white products combine perfectly with any shade.

It is noteworthy that furniture can have any shape and size. Almost any design of white looks advantageous, and there is no feeling of bulkiness. In addition, white color amazingly creates the impression of diffused space, as if dissolving pieces of furniture. This solution is perfect for both large and small rooms.

Varieties

White cabinets are suitable for furnishing almost all rooms of the house; the difference will only be in their functionality, size, and appearance.

• for the kitchen, the most obvious option would be wall cabinets in which dishes, small household appliances, cereals, seasonings, and other small items are stored;
• In the bedroom you cannot do without a wardrobe or wardrobe with hinged doors. The white surface of the cladding will add coziness to the room, harmonizing with light bed linen and a mirror on the dressing table, and frosted glass inserted into the doors will add restraint;
• The children's room is an ideal place for both clothes and a bookcase in light colors. A white wardrobe in a nursery is responsible for a good mood, and also teaches the little owners of the room to maintain order;
• It is better to equip the hallway with a sliding wardrobe, combined with open lower and upper shelves for storing shoes and hats, with mirrored doors. White cabinets are especially relevant for narrow hallways - with them the rooms will not seem completely tiny;
• the living room, where everything should be conducive to a pleasant stay and ensure a good mood for the owners and guests, is a place where an open wardrobe in light shades with shelves and transparent doors will fit perfectly. It is best to fill shelves and open spaces with decorative trinkets (vases, figurines), flower arrangements, books, photographs.

Fantasy, a sense of style and photos of interiors will tell you which cabinet will be the best option for a particular room.

Using white furniture in different styles

White furniture in the interior acquired particular interest at the beginning of the 20th century. At the mere mention of snow-white sofas and tables, images of lush interiors made in a luxurious Empire or Renaissance style involuntarily appear in your head. White color in the interior is an integral component of romantic Provence. Decorated with patina or gilded elements, white products are associated with elegance and unique taste.

The “pioneers” in the use of white furniture were the inhabitants of Scandinavia. Gradually, fashion began to spread throughout Europe. Depending on the chosen style, some features have emerged in the selection of furniture:

• in a classic style, it necessarily has rounded shapes, and the very essence of classics lies in the harmonious combination of all interior elements;
• the Empire style is characterized by massive furniture with rich fittings using patina and gold;
• Snow-white furniture in the Provence style must be complemented with delicate details: ruffles, bows and frills;
• Baroque and Renaissance - the furniture has smooth lines, it is complemented by elements with skillful carvings;
• Mediterranean style involves the use of furniture of any shape, but it should be complemented by marine elements: shells, anchors, starfish.

Beautiful white tables, elegant chairs and original sideboards can satisfy the most original female whims, and practical tabletops and laconic white sofas will become a real outlet for representatives of the stronger half of humanity. This is where the versatility of color, its practicality and originality are manifested.

White furniture in the kitchen

A white kitchen set will undoubtedly add a touch of elegance to the room. There is a feeling of comfort that every housewife will appreciate. A kitchen in milky white and vanilla white will look great; they are calmer compared to the spectacular snowy white tone. To avoid a feeling of excessive “coolness”, it is worth choosing some contrasting details.

For example, you can complement snow-white furniture with stylish paintings depicting fruits and flowers. Light azure or purple tulle in combination with matching dishes will become a real highlight of the kitchen. Even seemingly unnoticeable details can distract attention from sterile white furniture. The walls should not merge with the set, so you should choose a neutral or, conversely, contrasting coating for them. Elements in black or dark blue, rich red and turquoise look impressive.

Living room with snow-white furniture

The white living room is an ode to solemnity and grandeur. The Angstrem line of living room furniture offers many interesting variations with high-quality fittings from leading European manufacturers. Light furniture looks organic in any style. A snow-white table and matching shelves will perfectly complement a white sofa. One of the features of using white color in the interior is the ability to use a large number of textures and shapes within one room.

White furniture in the living room looks luxurious against a contrasting dark background. Dark parquet will also perfectly highlight the beauty of a light sofa. An elegant interior decoration can be a white piano or a fireplace built from light stone. By choosing light furniture, you can achieve a background effect from the walls so that this particular furniture becomes the main decoration of the room.

Cabinet sizes and shapes

For a spacious hall, quite spacious, long three-leaf or larger wall-length structures are often preferred. This model can replace a wardrobe and easily provide storage space for clothes, bedding, books, dishes and other wide variety of items.

Also, to maintain order in the room, tall cabinets are used, which perfectly accommodate a huge variety of things necessary in everyday life. In small living rooms, corner models of a semicircular, trapezoidal or triangular shape would be appropriate. They make the best use of free space, add style to the interior and eliminate bulkiness.

Radius oval products with smooth lines and a convex or concave shape look very original. Such rounded cabinets can occupy a corner in the room or be located along the wall. They easily follow the curves of the room and are perfect for decorating a non-standard layout.

White color in the bedroom

White has long been considered a traditional color for the bedroom. It creates a feeling of comfort, cleanliness and additional space. Facade profiles based on deep-milled Turkish MDF form the basis for high-quality furniture from Angstrem and look quite impressive in a modern bedroom. It is in the bedroom that light furniture does not need any contrasts; the walls, floor and ceiling can duplicate the tone of the bed, wardrobe and bedside tables.

It is appropriate to use elegant details in gold and silver shades. Inserts in mint, olive and beige colors look stylish. The materials from which bedroom furniture is made can have either a matte or glossy finish. It is important to pay attention to the lighting, make it spot-on and even a little dim.

Manufacturing materials

When choosing a new cabinet in white or similar shades, there is no need to worry about the quality of the materials, since they are traditional for this type of furniture. This:

• solid wood;
• chipboard;
• MDF;
• Fiberboard;
• Chipboard.

The desire to acquire a piece of furniture made of natural wood excludes pure white, but in this case you can choose light colors close to it - bleached oak, ash, birch, maple, hornbeam.

In other cases, the material of manufacture is not important, since for laminated facade cladding over particle boards, fiber boards, and MDF, white color is not a problem, as is the huge variety of its shades. A magnificent white glossy cabinet can decorate a chic living room, a formal office, or a children's room. White gloss is obtained in different ways. The surface can be made of:

• PVC films;
• acrylic plastic

Can be painted with glossy enamel. The last option is the most durable and beautiful.
