Following the trend of this year, both in fashion and interior design, Benjamin Moore chose the color of 2016: Simply White (OC-117).
It may seem trivial, but given the Nordic style that gained popularity, especially in 2015, we have every reason to believe that white is full of opportunities. Both contemporary white specific to Scandinavian style, and the warm white which characterizes Classic and Shabby Chic styles, offer ample decorating options.
From floors, to walls and decorative items, white can both prevail, and highlight certain items.
And if you think it is difficult to maintain, we say that it is not more difficult than black, mahogany or other strong colors. Besides, your reward is guaranteed.

Often, when we talk about colors we refer to our color preferences, but it is also good to take into account their influence on our mood and state.
