The Power of White

The Decorating and Staging Academy recently shared their own mini-mag with us. We found an awesome article on "The Power of White" and we thought we would share some key points!

White has many attributes which include a clean look, neutral highlights, and adds interest and freshness to your home and wardrobe! In a room with an abundance of elements white keeps the space from feeling overwhelmed. It provides a relief from the visually heavy wall color while creating a great contrast. White provides spaces with a visual resting place. For a potential home buyer white can encourage a buyer to linger in the space, appreciate it view, notice the square footage, and bond with the space. Adding white to a room creates a balance and a sense of calmness. The key here is to blend whites with similar undertones so they enhance and not compete.
