Classics of the genre – combination with white

White is a universal color, therefore, when difficulties arise with the selection of a color combination, you can safely choose white: it does not carry a color load, therefore it is ideally combined with any color.

In the case of lilac or violet, its effect will depend on the shade of the paint: the combination of the lightest shades of the color scheme will create a very delicate, airy atmosphere that is suitable both for the room of a little girl – a newborn, preschool age, and for a sophisticated girl. If you decorate a living room in a shabby chic style in this combination, a small elegant sofa in light colors would be an ideal addition. You can choose violet or orchid color.
