17 Pristine, Touch-Me-Not Spaces to Escape to This Holi
For those suffering from the season's overdose of the 'colour frenzy', here are spaces that are spotless and all-white
Are you tired of all the colour talk and play? Is the bombardment of visuals of the Festival of Colours taking up all your screen space? Has it started to feel too much? Then here’s some respite for you. Presenting clean, crisp, white spaces that wouldn’t want to tolerate a spot of colour. Enjoy!
2. What makes this bathroom feel welcoming and friendly? It’s the warm white all across and the presence of natural accessories such as the basket and touches of wood and browns … what do you think?
3. The fluffy sofa, the long cushion and the throw ensure the living room is a cosy, meditative space. Plus, the earthy accessories right at the back ensure the scheme is not too pristine-looking, since relaxed is the aesthetic aim.
4. This neutral kitchen with stone flooring is a smart, sophisticated space that celebrates the beauty of white.

5. Long, winding, almost fairy-tale-like … this flight of steps is charming. The mouldings on the white walls and the slender wooden railings add a decorative touch to the ensemble.
6. This cloakroom shows that white doesn’t have to mean unadorned. Look at the Carrara marble floor tiles, the subtle wallpaper and the chandelier that add a luxurious and opulent feel to this not-so-simple white room.
7. Different textures come together in this monochromatic space and add life to it. The thick carpeting in one shade, sleek lacquer on the cabinets and the tufted headboard ensure there’s enough movement in design throughout the room.
9. The faux fur rug, pillows, starburst mirror and bean bag, ranging from white to beige, all combine to create a neutral harmony, punctured very subtly by the natural wood coffee table and touches of dark brown on a cushion.

10. The white scheme makes this slim kitchen look like a spacious room, especially with the concealed doors and drawers. This clever, space-saving and smart-looking design has my vote.
11. The un-pigmented basin, walls, WC and door give the room a more timeless quality because, let’s face it, white never goes out of fashion. Adding to the calm ambience is the wooden flooring.
12. This pared-back, simple white bedroom is like the sort of calm, Zen space I dream of having. The crisp bleached scheme boosts the feeling of airiness and keeps everything co-ordinated.

13. There’s much to admire in this dining room – the contemporary chandelier with its sharp, clean lines that contrast with the soft curves of the furniture, the detailing on the chairs, gold moulding on the ceiling and, of course, the large windows that ensure the room is flooded with natural light during the day.
14. It’s one thing to have a neutral kitchen, but china too? The white wall is covered with open shelves that proudly display glasses, plates and bowls drenched in the same shade as the walls … now that’s serious commitment to white.
15. It’s one of those spaces that makes you stop short and look again. Apart from the fact that this bathroom has a curved flooring, slanting ceiling, a chalk-white scheme, it also has a different kind of grouting – dark and clean – that immediately stands out.
16. Working in this super-bright, super-white home office definitely ensures one thing – the person using it will always be wide awake and fresh. Plus the cryptic No Wake sign in rust and white stands out more, and looks like some sort of modern art.
17. Who says a kid’s room has to be crowded with colour? This bedroom has a fresh, airy feel to it, with a warm, gentle colour underfoot from the pale wooden boards.
