The popularity of white furniture
When you buy furniture you really cannot go far wrong if you go for white!
The popularity of white furniture has increased a lot in recent times. People seem to be turning to the minimalist look and the clean feeling that comes with it. When furnishing our homes the choice can be endless. White furniture is produced in dining tables and chairs, wardrobes, dressers, bookcases and much more.
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 hole in a window shade that allowed 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 discovered that the ray 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.
Newton’s 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 bent at different degrees, violet by the most and red the least.
So it was discovered 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 entirely white with just the odd addition of one or perhaps two other colours introduced into the design. So don't dismiss the use of white painted furniture in your decor because white interiors tend to have a very calming effect and help you relax and feel at home.
