White is a great choice because it draws attention to itself, making your space feel big and airy. It also makes you feel bright and clean, which can help you fight off anxiety or depression. And since it’s often associated with sleepiness and calmness, it can help you fall asleep faster after a stressful day at work.

If you’re looking for something slightly more intimate than white—say, if you’re planning on having guests over for dinner—we recommend choosing one of our other colours: grey or navy blue.
