There’s something electric about walking into a space that’s crisp, white, and full of life. That’s the magic of the White & Bright trend – walls painted in brilliant Plascon Easy Living Sheen White, with jolts of bold colour layered in through furniture, art, and accents.
It’s clean. It’s expressive. And it’s easier to pull off than you think.
Why Start with White?
White walls aren’t boring, they’re a design power move. Plascon Easy Living Sheen White gives you a velvety, low-sheen finish that softens light while keeping your space feeling fresh and open. It’s wipeable, hard-wearing, and works in any room, from high-traffic family areas to minimalist studios and bold bathrooms.
Think of it as your blank canvas. What you add next is where the fun begins.
The Colour Pop Crew: Meet the Brights
This season’s most exciting brights aren’t pastel or polite. They’re confident. Saturated. Made to stand out.
Here’s how to bring them into your space:
- Plascon Crazy Daisy (Y4-A1-1) – A bright, sunshiny yellow that radiates optimism. It’s the colour of laughter in a room, perfect for breakfast nooks, scatter cushions, and painted flowerpots.
- Plascon Cedarburg (O4-A1-1) – An intense, spicy orange that adds warmth and vibrance. Use it on a feature chair, lamp base, or even as a surprise ceiling colour in a hallway.
- Plascon Paradiso (G7-A1-1) – A deep teal green that feels grounded, cool, and lush. It’s ideal for a statement wall or velvet curtains that shift in the light.
- Plascon Monet Magic (B3-A1-1) – A powerful, inky blue that anchors a space with calm confidence. Try it on a sideboard, framed artwork, or as colour-blocking above white wainscoting.
- Plascon Fuscia Fizz (R2-A1-1) – A vibrant fuchsia pink that’s high-energy and unapologetically fun. Think scatter pillows, a painted bookshelf, or that one dramatic accent wall.
Each of these colours becomes more powerful when set against a clean white backdrop. The contrast is where the story lives.
How to Style the White & Bright Look
You don’t have to commit to painting all your furniture pink or buying new sofas. This trend works beautifully with small shifts that make big visual impact.
Try These Ideas:
- Paint your walls in Plascon Easy Living Sheen White to open up the room and bounce natural light.
- Use bright accent chairs, throws, and rugs to introduce your colour palette without overwhelming.
- Frame abstract artwork in bright tones for high-contrast gallery walls.
- Paint plant pots or floating shelves in Crazy Daisy or Cedarburg.
- Paint a single bold wall in Paradiso, Monet Magic, or Fuschia Fizz to define a zone in an open-plan space.
- Bring in multi-colour touches – a teal lamp base, pink rug, and yellow print – layered thoughtfully across the room.
White keeps everything cohesive. The pops bring it to life.

Balance is Key
To keep things looking curated rather than chaotic:
- Stick to two to three bright colours per room.
- Use natural materials like wood, rattan, and linen to soften the intensity.
- Let white dominate the space – it’s the anchor that gives colour room to shine.
FAQ: White & Bright Trend
Q: Will white walls make my home feel cold?
Not with Plascon Easy Living Sheen White. It has a soft, inviting tone that keeps spaces fresh without feeling clinical.
Q: How do I know which bright colours to use together?
Start with one dominant bright (like Paradiso) and layer in one or two accents (like Crazy Daisy or Fuschia Fizz). Keep the rest of the space neutral.
Q: Is this style just for modern homes?
Not at all. The contrast of bright on white works in Scandi-inspired spaces, boho homes, and even traditional settings when done thoughtfully.
Q: I love colour but I’m renting—any advice?
Keep the walls white and use bright décor. Painted furniture, colourful prints, throws, and even decals can give you the White & Bright effect without touching the walls.
