Update every room with the colour white White is a versatile colour in home decorating. White helps any space look effortlessly chic, blends well with just about any colour and can be incorporated into various design styles - from modern to traditional. While the colour white is always trendy, the paint manufacturers Benjamin Moore chose white (Simply White OC-117) as their "it" colour for 2016. White can be used nearly anywhere inside and outside the home. Improving interior and exterior spaces with white elements is easier than you might think, and it instantly can make anything look as good as new. Homeowners who have children and/or pets should look for furniture with removable slipcovers. This way they're easily removed and laundered. 27 | Stouffville Sun-Tribune | Thursday, October 27, 2016 Bathroom White bathrooms look fresh and are easy to clean and maintain. White tiles provide a classic look. Include coloured bath mats, towels and shower curtains to break up the white as you see fit. A neutral white base makes it easy to switch out colour schemes whenever you feel like it. Bedroom Feminine and fresh, white bedrooms may not be the first choice for novice designers. If the prospect of white on white seems too sterile, offset deeper hues on bed linens and walls with white furniture. This provides some pop against the darker contrast. Keep in mind that doing a bed up in all white means it will always be easy to find matching sheets and pillowcases, allowing you to play with textures while making it possible to ensure everything looks cohesive. Kitchen While rich cherrywood cabinets and deeply hued granite countertops have long been popular in kitchens, creamy white cabinets paired with blonde wood countertops can work together to make kitchens seem open and airy. If all white is not your thing, brighten up kitchen spaces with white canisters, cookie jars and a fresh bouquet of white flowers to add instant appeal. White is a versatile colour to use around the home. It's consistently a favourite among designers for its crisp appeal. Living Room Use white as a base colour for living room spaces so you can build on it with other hues on pillows and draperies, mixing and matching however you see fit. Outdoors Use white paint on trims, shutters, mailboxes, and more to provide that pop of contrast against the rest of the home. White complements just about every colour, making it a versatile choice on a home's accents regardless of the main exterior colour of that home. White and other light shades will reflect the sun as well, contributing to cooler temperatures on walkways, decks and other structures, which can be advantageous to homeowners who live in warm climates. Is it any wonder that white continues to be a classic and popular colour to use around the home? Whether you do so with monochromatic white roomscapes or accent pieces, you can incorporate white into design plans throughout your home. -- MS The sylvia morris Team in Canada for Century 21 Canada for 2015 #6 Team Gord Cowan* stePhanie LianG* Cindy Chen* robert atkinson* Serving Unionville, Markham, Richmond Hill, Stouffville and surrounding areas FOR SAlE Call For A Free Market Analysis D: 416·705·7785 O: 905·477·7785 www.sylviamorris.com HOME OF THE wEEK HOME OF THE wEEK FOR SAlE SylviA MorriS* COMMERCiAl 61 THiCKETwOOd Blvd., STOUFFvillE Beautiful Open Concept Bungalow In A Very Desirable Area.
