SHADOW PLAY

When decorating with white, work with your room rather than against it. Take your cue from its architecture, observing how the light falls in different corners and crevices throughout the day. Layering tones of white, such as painting a feature wall, ceiling or woodwork in a slightly different shade, can help maximise the sense of light and space.
