Interior designs with summer white have always been refreshing and cheerful. With the earth transitioning into a warming trend unlike any since the middle ages, perhaps it’s time for homeowners, even in the northern climates, to consider summer color schemes that lessen the effect of degrees of higher temperatures during the summer months.
Most people think that white reflects heat which suits the purpose for the sake of conversation. But, technically speaking, what scientists tell us is it simply doesn’t absorb and retain as much heat. A simple explanation of this is that as you add more color to white, it absorbs more until you reach the other end of the spectrum with solid back which absorbs and retains the most heat.
