When people think of white, they think of fresh and clean. White conjures up ideas of purity and innocence. White brightens a room, especially when it catches the morning sun. When thinking of creating a white space, like a white kitchen, there are many ideas that can flow through your mind. One thing to consider is to look at the various shades of white that you can use. A room that is made entirely of the same shade of white can lose the brightness and become almost clinical looking. You will think it seemed like a good idea that everything matches until you step back and see the complete picture. Then you will realize that too much of a good thing actually takes away from the space you were trying to create.

Another problem is pairing a bright white with a darker cream shade. Instead of seeing the cream as a good accent to the bright white, it can actually make the cream come off as dirty-looking. Then you will realize once again, it is taking away from the look you were creating. The white in the room can come from everything from the walls to the tile on the floor, or the fixtures and accents in the room. This is not merely discussing the paint on the wall. So the paint on the wall can be one shade and then the main fixtures in the room can be another, along with the accents for the room being yet another.

You can try out and determine which shades of white will complement each other, and which one will create the wrong look when paired together. Most paint and home stores will have paint cards that offer the ability to see which colors accent each other. There should be paint cards that offer an all-white option. You can place these cards next to each other in a room to get a feel for the finished look. Additionally, placing the cards around can also give you a picture if there will be too much white for your taste.

Planning a room remodel can be fun and exciting. You have the opportunity to change your look and go in a different direction that what you previously had. When planning the remodel, you are given the opportunity to see how things will look before they are put into place. By using this time to get your color scheme perfect, you can just sit back and enjoy you newly remodeled white room.
