The colour white and interior design
When buying furniture you really cannot go far wrong if you go for white!
The popularity of white furniture has increased a lot in recent times. People seem to be reverting to the minimalist look and the clean feeling that comes with it. When furnishing our homes the choice goes on and on. White furniture is made in dining tables and chairs, wardrobes, dressers, bookcases and much more.
It is found that the most commonly used colour in interior design is white. This is so in bathrooms and kitchens where cleaning and most importantly, the preparation of food is carried out. This is mainly due to hygiene and of course it makes sense that dirt shows up significantly on white and surfaces are far more readily kept germ free.
They say that technically this is’nt really a colour as such, it is in fact a neutral.
It was Sir Isaac Newton who experimented in 1666, using a hole in a window shade that admitted a ray of sunshine into a dark room, where a glass prism was placed in such a position that enabled the light to pass through it. He found that that the ray of light was refracted when passing through the prism and spread a beam of multicoloured light in the colours of the rainbow which appeared as white on the wall beyond.
Newton’s conclusion was that white light was a mixture of different types of light, each one being a single pure colour and that each colour was bent at different degrees, violet by the most and red by the least.
So it was found that white light does in fact contain all the colours within it, they are simply not visible as they are being reflected.
I have seen some wonderful interior designs that are entirely white with just the odd addition of one or perhaps two other colours introduced into the design. So don’t dismiss the use of white painted furniture in your decor because white interiors tend to have a very calming effect and help you relax and feel at home.
