made in heaven

When you purchase furniture you really cannot go far wrong if you go for white!

The popularity of white furniture, such as bedroom furniture has increased a lot in recent times. People seem to be turning more to the minimalist look and the clean feeling that comes with it. When it comes to furnishing our homes the choice is endless. White furniture can be found in dining tables and chairs, wardrobes, dressers, bookcases and much more. You can even get white bedside tables now.

You will find that the most commonly used colour in interior design is in fact white. This is so particularly in bathrooms and kitchens where cleaning and very importantly, the preparation of food is carried out. This is primarily due to hygiene and it makes sense that dirt shows up significantly on white and surfaces are more readily kept germ free.

It is said that technically this is not really a colour as such, it is in fact a neutral.

It was Sir Isaac Newton experimenting in 1666, using a small hole in a window shade that admitted a ray of sunshine into a dark room, where a glass prism was placed in such a position that enabled the light to pass through it. He found that the beam of light was refracted when passing through the prism and spread a beam of multicoloured light in all the colours of the rainbow which appeared as white on the wall beyond.

Newtons conclusion was that white sunlight was a mixture of different types of light, each one being a single pure colour and that each colour was refracted at different degrees, violet by the most and red by the least.

So it was found that white light does in fact contain all the colours within it, they are simply not visible as they are being reflected.

I have seen some wonderful interior designs that are completely white with just the odd addition of one or maybe two other colours introduced into the design. So don’t dismiss the use of white painted furniture in your decor because white interiors, especially it seems white dining room furniture, tends to have a very calming effect and help you relax and feel at home.
