I’m an interior designer and there’s a colour you should have in every room – it levels your pad up to luxury
THERE’S one colour you should have in every room in your house if you want to make it look dreamy and luxurious.
It might be subtle, but having plenty of cream shades around your home will instantly level up your pad.
Kreiss, who is based in Los Angeles, is an interior designer that specialises in luxury home furnishings.
He shared a video on TikTok explaining why cream is the key to a posh pad, and it’s more simple than you might think.
It turns out the colour is a favourite of the interior designer because it looks good year round and is above trends.
“Switch to a stark white to cream on your walls and your home is warmer in an instant,” Kreiss said.
But it’s not just cream paint you should incorporate into your interior style.
In fact, the pro suggested ditching trendy shades like grey in favour of cream when it comes to furniture too.
“Use a creamy palette instead of grey and you’ll go from dreary to dreamy in an instant,” Kreiss continued.
A cream sofa looks loads more luxurious than other colours, but you could even add cream accents like throws and pillows to get a similar look.
“Cream will even help you level up your lifeless white kitchen cabinets,” he said.
Although not everyone was totally on board with Kreiss’s love of cream, some TiKTok users agreed it looks more posh than white or grey.
“Yes! I’m so glad grey is over,” one commented
And a second agreed: “I’ve just done this, had white for years and it can be cold sometimes.”
But others thought the creamy shades were dull compared to bright whites.
“I’ve just got rid of all cream after 20 years, I’ve gone all white and it feels fresh, bright and clean,” one said.
But Kreiss said a “taupey soft white” would give the same look.
“The word cream is triggering but what we mean is a warm white,” he added.
