White or light-gray interiors used to be super trendy, but now it seems to fade away.

While sometimes white walls can still be super attractive and fashionable, designers suggest adding more colors.

Let's find out, why.

Lack of Warmth

While white interiors can create a clean and minimalist look, they can also appear sterile and lack warmth and personality. Many people now seek spaces that feel cozy, inviting, and reflect their personal style.

Maintenance and Practicality

White surfaces are more prone to showing dirt, stains, and wear. Maintaining a pristine white interior can be challenging, especially in high-traffic areas or homes with children or pets.

Individuality and Expression

With the rise of social media and online platforms showcasing a variety of design styles and inspirations, people are increasingly seeking unique and personalized interiors. White interiors, while timeless, can sometimes feel generic and lack individuality.

Connection to Nature

There is a growing appreciation for incorporating natural elements into interior design, including earthy tones, wood accents, and greenery. White interiors can sometimes feel disconnected from the natural world, whereas warmer and more nature-inspired color schemes can create a sense of harmony and tranquility.
