White is the most reliable, easy-to-use, and comforting shade. Plus, the color offers huge benefits: it can make a space feel larger, brighter, and lighter. Introducing any other shade into the room is easy since all colors pair well with it.
That said, an all-white room can sometimes feel a bit boring or vanilla. A stark or true white can come across as sterile or lacking character — especially in a living room, which is often guest-facing and ideally should reflect some personality.
