Stop with the White! Perth’s Content Creators Under Fire for Creating a Boring City
Stop with the white!
That’s right. White paint is often touted as a one-size-fits-all solution. Why? Because it’s fresh, clean, and goes with everything. But it’s also boring.
In some spaces, white is the best choice, but it’s never the only option. Before you choose another shade of white, think about whether it really delivers the impact your space needs.
It’s time to stop listening to monochromatic content creators and start exploring a wider world of paint colours that will add a little life to your property.
A Stark Cityscape
Increasingly, Perth design and renovation influencers are coming under fire for their heavy focus on stark white designs.
These all-white finishes are framed as sleek, elegant, and minimalistic. In many cases, though, they simply lack character, leading to a cityscape where every house looks just the same.
Worse: many content creators are advocating for a white-paint approach to heritage renovations, where rich traditional colour schemes are much more in keeping with the property’s history, along with the wallpaper and wood finishings.
The result is a homogenous cityscape, where houses adopt clean all-white finishes that do nothing to showcase their unique character or the personalities of their owners.
The Latest Colour Trends
So, what’s the solution? It’s time to get out of your plain-white comfort zone and explore bolder painting trends.
Gone are the days of the cool, stark white and grey colour palettes. The latest trends lean towards expression and impact, introducing far warmer and richer hues.
Many homeowners are now choosing deep, earthy colours like olive green or musky pink. Others are choosing terracotta, ochre, and burgundy, all designed to offer a sense of warmth and grandeur – not to mention personality.
Aside from creating dramatic and impactful spaces, these popular colours open new pathways to interior décor, and they work well in detail-oriented environments, like heritage properties, without losing the character of the home.
Revitalising Renovations
Across the city, renovation painters are excited to get back to colour, leaving behind the world of only white painting projects.
