White dcor can be very effective in a kitchen, according to Tania Richardson, of Tomas Pearce Interior Design in Toronto. Its really sort of a lifestyle thing, says Tania, who believes white works particularly well when creating the illusion of more space in smaller kitchens. Tania, who has designed many all-white interiors in apartments in the city, says When the average suite is only about 650 square feet, doing everything white helps create volume and makes a smaller space seem larger and more liveable. I like the purity and simplicity of it, she says. Theres a certain cleanliness and elegance to an all-white environment. Heather Shaw lives in an all-white home in Toronto with her husband and two small sons. Virtually everything in her home is white. I cant even imagine not getting into white sheets at night, she says.Heather believes that white works well because its a useful way of hiding imperfections. Her kitchen contains a mismatched collection of cabinets that a few coats of white paint tied together beautifully. You cant go wrong with white, says Heather. And it works in any room.White kitchen sinks and taps really complement the modern home. It is also easier to keep white items spotlessly clean.
