Building A Room Around A White Centerpiece

Celebrities are undeniable fashion and style icons, and this spills over into interior design as well. In actual fact, a survey was recently done by the Better Home Exhibition that revealed celebrities were among the top sources of inspiration for people updating their own homes. Having said this, is not very often that the styles come from the celebrities directly, but instead from the designers they employ.

An interior designer to some of Hollywood's biggest stars has told one newspaper that people wanting to create an impressive room can structure their design around a centerpiece, such as a piece of white  bedroom furniture. Usually this is quite a large piece such as big white wardrobes, and it can afford to be as it is a neutral colour. The same cannot be said for other colours in the spectrum, which, when used on a grand scale tend to dominate a room and leave very little room for maneuver in terms of colour.

Kelly Wearstler told the Daily Mail that a big, bold centrepiece can provide inspiration and ideas for the rest of a room's design, such as the bedside table or curtain design, and said that she loves the use of white and black to create contrast.  She is not the only one to adopt the contrasting of black and white in design as many professionals in New York have been using this in client’s homes for years.

She said "I have such fun playing around with whites and blacks as they can be fitted in to any design you think of. It's the depth it adds that is so intriguing." She added that lots of rooms that suffer from a lack of space or light can really be enhanced by using a simple, clean colour scheme.

The last point from Wearstler was that a room can often become "confused" when it is over-designed and keeping the colour clean prevents this happening. “It’s not a simple thing to get right, but if you’re strict with the colors you use, you can pull off a very sleek look”.
