Layer shades of white for Parisian style

Timeless, understated and effortlessly sophisticated – is there anything more elegant than Parisian style? Recreating this French decor is easy and, contrary to popular belief, you don’t need a spacious apartment or period features to make these interior design ideas work.

The interior design secret to this sensual style lies in the subtle colour palette of off-whites from Dulux. Try painting your walls in Almond White and your ceiling in Timeless White to create layers of interest in the room.

If your home decor has architectural details such as cornicing, skirtings and alcoves, you may like to highlight these with a slightly different hue of white, such as a chiffon white.

This classic colour scheme is the perfect backdrop for a few bold interior design accents. Think rich, warm hues like burgundy, dusky pink and sherbet orange – these will pop against the white background and add a feeling of warmth to your living room decor.
