The anticipation of spring has us longing for fresh, light shades. But how do we create a light interior – think white walls, natural tones – without making our living space appear cold?

A crisp, white space is like a blank canvas for you to play with – the possibilities are endless. Neutral shades on the walls work well in a bright space, allowing the natural light to reflect on the light surfaces. Whites with warm undertones will add brightness to your living space without appearing cold. Opt for a colour like off white and add pieces of furniture in earthy tones. Set against a white backdrop, your carefully selected pieces of furniture will really stand out. If you’re home has a warm, wooden floor, you might want to choose white shades with a cooler undertone. It will balance out the warmth of the wood, inspiring a sense of calm.

By combining different neutral hues, you can stick to a minimalistic colour palette while diversifying the overall look of your interior. Different textures - from furniture materials to fabrics - will affect the feel of your interior too. A table in oak wood will bring life into your home. If you’re eyeing one of our tables, opt for one with chamfered edges. It enhances the table’s light, airy feel. Add a few dining chairs in wool fabrics and invite a sense of comfort to your living space. Kvadrat has a wide variety of neutrals for you to choose from and… you won’t have to worry about stains!
