Decorator's Color of Choice - White

Have you ever wondered why most decorators chose to work with white when there are numerous other colors out there? Why not another neutral color? What about blue or green? Those are unobtrusive colors of nature too. Well, the answer lies in a simple fact. Every other color is in fact, obtrusive. White is clean, pure, dramatic and unobtrusive; rooms photograph well when all decked out in white. The same reason a bride wears white from head to toe. We all love white - universally and unanimously. We do not question its presence but get caught up in its unique ability to create a feeling of grandeur and openness; a feeling akin to no other than heaven itself. Most people may have a different favorite color but they all still love white for its inoffensive and clean presence. Home decorators understand this natural affinity for a clean, bright and open space; they layer white trim with white fabric and furniture. It is easier to introduce accent colors to a predominantly white background. A touch of purple or blue adds a dash of romanticism to the place. There is no failing if you know how to work with white.

In conclusion, I must say that white is my favorite color. I understand that technically white contains all the colors of the spectrum and does not represent the absence of color but the inclusion of all.
