Now there is an even whiter shade, which some hardware stores even call super white (RAL9016). This is really a bright white color.

So discover the different colors and think carefully about which shade of white you want to create your white living room with!
The basis of a white living room
Before decorating a white living room , start by creating a white, neutral base. Let's start with the walls. Preferably choose white walls, wallpaper or paint does not matter, as long as it is white. However, the floor does not necessarily have to be white. When you choose a white floor, this can turn out very nicely, but keep in mind that this creates little contrast and can be very dominant in a white living room . It does make the white living room a lot lighter and more spacious! A beautiful wooden floor creates just that little bit more atmosphere and contrast. If a wooden floor is too pricey, laminate or parquet is certainly worth considering.

Furniture in a white living room
If you are going to choose furniture for your white living room , you can actually go in many directions. A white living room with only white furniture is a bold choice, but can be very beautiful and unique. Certainly white furniture with gloss gives a chic atmosphere in a white living room .
Is this not quite your thing? Then choose furniture with color or a color combined with white. This creates more contrast in a white living room than just white furniture. Think of white in combination with beige, gray or warm wood colours. A black and white interior is also very cool!
