According to minimalist interior designer Darryl Carter, strip away busy patterns and loud colors and focus on well curated pieces. White makes old things more current.

Taking his advice, I just painted my grandmothers brown wooden sofa, mat white and it looks super stylish.

4. Explore the different shades of white

There are many variations of white with different undertones… like blue, pink, grey. Paint a small part on your wall and see it at different times of the day and then decide what you like.

5. Use wooden furniture
