The main job of accent furniture is already to provide stylish contrast within the ambiance, but when your surroundings are mainly white, all furniture becomes accent furniture.

This is mainly because all the furniture has been carefully selected in colours that add beautiful contrast to the surroundings and act in an accent capacity!

If there is one texture contrast that works exceptionally well with all white interior designs, its metal! Stainless steel complements the ‘cool’ vibe of dominantly white themes quite well.

For example: chrome and stainless steel for modernism, copper for traditional, etc.

Another way to add contrast to white interior designs is by using classy patterns. Plain white materials can come off as boring and uninteresting. Introducing patterns in such ambiance can make the overall space look more interesting. You can do so by using hexagonal tiles, mosaic patterns, patterned laminates, and more!
