ANTIQUE WHITE COLOR TREND

PSYCHOLOGY & FACTS

Shades of white are colours that differ only slightly from pure white. Variations of white include what are usually termed “off-white.” Colours often considered “shades of white” include cream, ivory, Navajo white and vanilla. Although strictly speaking, shades of white would be a neutral grey. White doesn’t feature on the traditional colour wheel, as it is considered to be a non-colour. It is achromatic, which means it has no hue. Being the opposite of black; which absorbs all other colours, white reflects and scatters all the visible wavelengths of light. A wide range of “off-white”shades can be achieved by mixing white with small amounts of other colours. The mood of the added colours can characterise the white shade. With warm undertones – Ivory is an off-white with a very slight tint of yellow or off-white aspect to it. A creamier, warmer and richer alternative to stark white. Bright white is a sought-after shade by fans of minimalism. The ultimate blank-canvas shade of white. Prized by architects for its ability to let the shapes and lines of interiors and exteriors stand out. As white light contains all the colours of the spectrum, it’s an impartial colour, favouring no single hue. White is illuminating, helping our minds to focus and aiding in organisation. However white can feel distant, impersonal and cold. Ivory is a calming and relaxing neutral. As a richer and warmer variant of white, it carries some of the pureness, softness and cleanliness of white but it is slightly richer and a touch warmer. Ivory is a mixture of several colours’ meanings. It’s tan, signifying the flexibility of its nature and white, conveying its association with purity and innocence. In Ancient Greece white was a sacred colour, representative of light and the milk of mothers. In Rome, a plain white toga was worn by all Roman citizens at ceremonial occasions. White was enduringly fashionable for both men and women in the 18th and 19th centuries, with a cultural fascination for Ancient Greece and Rome helping to prolong its popularity.

ANTIQUE WHITE COLOR TREND 2021-2022

IN INTERIORS & DESIGN

In the 20th century, white was the colour of choice for architects of the Modernist movement, with Le Corbusier and Oscar Niemeyer championing the colour for its minimal and stark aesthetic. Historically, white was applied to temples, churches and government buildings to symbolise religious and civic purity, whereas modernists used white to emphasize the clean lines and geometric forms of buildings.

Today minimalism is different from the clean-lined perfection of the past. Contemporary minimalism is not about the idealised absence of things – eradicating personality and imperfections in favour of a utopian ‘ideal state” – but about using the absence of things to enhance the meaning of what we chose to retain; quieting the room to enable the chosen pieces to speak clearly about what matters to us. The Spaces In the digital age, it seems we crave imperfections of analogue. New minimalism is about a small selection of curated, meaningful objects. A call to a mindful, intentional way of living. Less is more is still a key concept, by choosing a few considered items with timeless design and fine craftsmanship. Instead of visual interest, the focus goes on tactility and materials. Embracing a Wabi-sabi philosophy – finding beauty in imperfection. Sculptural shapes, natural materials and local design as attention turns to sustainability.

Another new trend that we can relate to the color of this month and its “mood” is the so-called Cottagecore. More of a lifestyle trend than a real interior style, actually, Cottagecore is influencing a lot in the decorating world as well. It is about embracing simplicity and encouraging people to enjoy being in the comfort of their own homes, and we all understand why it became so popular in these pandemic times. Social media gave this blossoming movement a major platform – during the pandemic it went from “budding” to full on blooming. At its heart, Cottagecore hinges on modern escapist fantasies, think baskets of wildflowers, foraged mushrooms, babbling brooks surrounded by woodland, forest bathing and rustic simplicity. Key aesthetic components are bringing natural elements indoors as decorative elements – dried flowers, fresh flowers, houseplants – along with a natural colour palette of neutrals and warm tones. Rural atmosphere, soft hues, inspired by a romanticised western agricultural life are the inspirations of this new decorating philosophy, born from the desire to return to a slower way of living. It is centered on the ideas of simply living and harmony with nature.

HOW TO USE IT IN INTERIORS

White is frequently used in home decor for its connotations of purity and cleanliness. One of the most common shades of white used in interior decorating, the colour ivory is warmer than pure white and features a yellow or beige tinge. As a neutral, falling somewhere in the colour spectrum between cool shades of white and more yellow-based cream. Ivory, off-white and cream are often used interchangeably to describe the same soft hue. The subtle warmth makes it a friendly companion to other warm neutrals, such as brown, tan and beige. Ivory is timeless, classic and versatile – with a luxuriously creamy tone – its calming warmth draws you in and allows for a mix of diverse colours. When using this shade of white in the home with light blues, earth tones, browns and greens it can create a relaxing effect. Ivory can be used as a counterpoint to offset jewel tones and also blends beautifully with brighter accent colours, providing a soft backdrop and definition for coloured patterns. This colour exudes elegance when combined with deep, dark colours like forest green, charcoal and navy. It can be effectively used throughout a room on walls, furniture and accessories without looking washed out or too sterile. Ivory used on the wall can open up a room, enabling natural light from windows to reflect throughout the space. Also it looks beautiful when added to natural elements such as wood and stone. Ivory is relaxing and can bring a touch of elegance to a room. This colour fits in beautifully with the simplicity of new minimalism and the rustic aesthetics of Cottagecore.
