The tranquility of White and the lightness provided when using in decor around the home has been used for centuries, but is timeless. Perhaps John Lennon,  for example found the calming, peaceful energy of white perfect for relaxing in his home and The White Room gave him the inspiration to write  music and lyrics such as those in ‘Imagine’?

All of the stress and the  pace of modern living needs to be counterbalanced with space and time to unwind and center yourself.  An all white room can be a place where you can retreat for meditation, quiet or mental and spiritual regeneration. White holds the potential to move toward every other color and this makes it a good choice for newbeginnings, and development in any direction.

Whether you are wanting a fresh look for a room or a cosy space to unwind in, White rooms are so versatile and the natural lightness that it can bring to a room can be  enhanced by using white furniture, mirrors and lamps with the room still remaining totally uncluttered and calming. Some people think that White can make a room appear cold and clinical but this is very deceptive because as long as you choose the right furniture and soft furnishings white will surprisingly bring about feelings of mental clarity and tranquility.

Blasting some fantastic colours into your home can be difficult but with  white New England Furniture it  is a breeze because of opening up a whole load of style ideas from modern to old fashioned and quaint. Hot pinks are a great way to get a contemporary look without being too feminine but sexy enough to create a romantic space within your home, even in the living room you can have a stunning effect against the white furniture, when many people  seem to keep the pinks to bedroom colours only. I think in an all white room,  splashes of pinks are a good choice and can emphasise the modern feel of the white furniture , giving the impression of more space in the room. You could mix and match your effect by choosing bolder prints and colours at one aspect of your lounge or living space, and at another angle choose a more delicate pattern which creates depth and character to a space.

Pinks are an excellent choice because of the many shades to be found. Even the smallest of accessories can give your room a spark of colour reminiscent of spring and summer warmth. Florals and shapes can add interest and you could most certainly bring a little bit of the outdoors inside with you.

New England Lifestyle’s white furniture has something for every room, in  fact no matter what decor you are planning the unique style will fit in with most home styling.  The Newport Coffee Table really does accentuate a white suite, no matter whether classic white fabric or a modern leather look.

The New Hampshire Bookcase is wonderful for displaying your bright accessories, and if your white room is larger and feels as if there is a space which needs to be filled the bookcase is a great piece of furniture  for filling and creating a focal point – you may want to just put your romantic novels in there.  Then again maybe if you are lucky enough on the 14th Feb, display your pink flowers!
