White walls and white-painted spaces, including living rooms, have earned a bit of a bad rep in the last couple of years as being boring, safe or even sterile in some instances. But as someone who’s decided to paint my living space walls white (with a lot of thought and consideration going into it), I can confirm that there are plenty of ways to make a white living room interesting – and interior designers and experts agree.
Of course, it all starts with choosing the best white paint for your particular living space, based on the type of light the room receives – if your lounge is north-facing, then a warm-toned white is recommended, while a south-facing space will do better with a cool-toned shade. But once you get the right shade of white, it’s all about the styling and decorating from there.
