Design of Anna Shemuratova - participant of the contest "Best apartment design"
The design of an apartment in white style with white light, mirrors, glossy surfaces, uneven walls and ceiling first confuses - it is unclear what are the true dimensions of the dwelling. White color is supplemented by eco-materials: wooden floors, which turn into walls, rounded river stones. On the main wall of the living room and kitchen wall - granite with natural pattern and relief. The white design of the apartment is fraught with many surprises: the door to the bedroom and the nursery are like disguised moves into secret rooms. The white interior of the apartment continues in the nursery, but is complemented by a gentle-green color. Decorated panel two-story bed - at the same time an adaptation for games, study and recreation. In the adult bedroom, the design of the apartment in white tones is highlighted with a plaster panel on the wall at the head of the bed. The bathroom is finished with natural stone and translucent glass - practically a home SPA. It is conceptually integrated with the living room with frosted glass and a waterfall.

A look into the past
The use of white in design is not a modern invention. In the 20-30s of the XX century, the interior in white tones served as a symbol of aristocracy. He, as it were, emphasized the wealth and exquisite tastes of the owners of the room.

Effect of lighting
White walls in the interior expand the room, especially in small rooms. When the predominance of white in the design should use a different texture and texture of light surfaces - textiles, ceramics, stone. The play of light and shadow on these objects will contribute to the formation of numerous glare, thereby giving the white color a variety of shades.
Warmer combinations are obtained by diluting the main white with red, yellow, brown. This combination is particularly important in rooms with a lack of natural light. On the contrary, in the design of too sunny premises you can add cold shades of blue, gray, green.

Glass air shelves will make the kitchen interior even easier. Transparent table completely corresponds to the airy interior. The color of the chairs can match the color of the kitchen apron, blinds and various details in the form of kitchen utensils. Sometimes even a bold version is used in the form of replacing light household appliances with a colored one.
White Bedroom
Walls, furniture, flooring, interior details rarely perform in a single color scheme. A bedroom in white can look monochrome-white and cold in appearance. As an option, White makes two important elements of the interior, for example, white walls and furniture.

White interior - ideas and tips for apartment design, photo.
If you are striving to create an unusual interior in white tones, forget about using any bright or expressive colors. It is enough to pick up a jar of white paint and fill it with everything that will fall under your arm. I, of course, joke, but in every joke ... In general, I officially declare to you that snow-white interiors are a real trend of the season. An original, but still a trend! And do not think that their arrangement is elementary. Not every interior designer will undertake such a task. And yet I will try to outline in general terms the basic rules for creating superb and fashionable interiors of white color.
Ideas and tips for interior design
No dark colors in the white interior.
White is known to be an excellent background for any expressive and vivid color. But! We were asked to create an exceptionally white interior, including wallpaper. And in it there is no place for any dark object, which on this background will seem like a real black hole. For example, if in a snow-white room you put even a snow-white fireplace, then its interior will seem to you a portal to the other world. And this, as you know, is undesirable. For the same reason, I would not recommend placing any TV in white rooms, which, when turned off, will create a similar effect. Or weigh one big black and white picture in a black frame.
Dynamics or static for a white interior?
To be honest, the white interior is very hampered by static. They are, in their own way, lifeless, and if there is anything alive in them, it will be a big plus. How can you create dynamism? The answer is simple. To do this, you need to use objects of the most complex, even pretentious forms. When arranging furniture, make sure that it has a maximum of vignettes, threaded elements and curls. You can also put carved white doors. The game of shadow and light will make such furniture surprisingly agile and vibrant, and these characteristics will necessarily be passed to the entire interior. As for furniture without pretentiousness, then looking at such an interior, you definitely want to move something, because the frozen state of it simply gets on your nerves. At least to me.
We get rid of boredom in the white interior.
I would strongly recommend trying to balance the pretentiousness and simplicity in order to get a white interior, which does not cause yawning. Indeed, most of the white interiors may sound boring to you. The eye, literally, there is nothing to catch on, as a result of which you can even feel emotional or visual starvation! If the vignettes and curls are not for you, try to diversify the classic shape with an interesting texture. For example, chairs and sofas can be decorated with fluffy pillows, and the walls are covered with roughened material. In this case, the same game of shadow and light will enter the game, which will save you from boredom.
Correct lighting for a white interior.
Sunlight does its work regardless of your desire. But to think over artificial lighting, with all its individual characteristics - this is your work. Incorrectly arranged lighting devices, and your interior crawled with unpleasant shadows that will not only look alien, but will visually narrow certain areas of the room. Equally important is choosing the right color for your lighting. For example, a bluish color will make the room insanely cold. Conversely, the yellow light will erase all the memories that you once had a snow-white room. My advice to you. When choosing furniture or interior materials (for example, white laminate flooring), try testing them for different light sources. For the final result, this is very important.
