Ricky Gervais may be a controversial character, but the comedian's taste is far less split. The British Multi-Hyphenate often offers its Instagram followers a look at his house (often after the whereabouts of his internet-famous cat, cucumber), and a recent recording of his extensive at the beginning proves that the actor strike comedian has a preference for luxury design despite his modest persona.
As for the high-end interior, Ricky's entrance makes an immediate luxurious impression. The extensive space has a huge marble staircase, crispy white walls and a high heel floor and not much in terms of decor, furniture or accessories. The minimalist space could be a pipe dream for most of us, but we can learn a lot from it, especially the simplicity of the color scheme.
At first glance, it may look like a mild and uninspiring entrance idea, but on closer inspection, the subtle scheme is clearly designed with intent. The light white pallet creates a luxurious first impression, but the few decorative details about the room really tie up the room, especially the addition of works of art that bring color bags into the room. If you want to decorate with white and at the same time offer a lot of visual interest, let Rickys space be your blueprint.
When it comes to effective rooms, there are only a few things that are as breathtaking as a spacious white input. If the space permits, it is a much respected look among the designers. Add subtle nuanced colors like Ricky and you have a recipe for a spectacular stylish space.
This entrance is proof that decorating with white is anything but boring. “Some may say that Ricky takes light white on the utmost of strong and sterile, but I have the feeling that the beautiful slim floor with absolutely no seams is a breathtaking addition to every room,” says ISY Jackson, owner of Cheltenham Interiors. “It uses a beautiful, purely white palette, but it is extravagant in the choice with a high shiny soil and the contrasting black grid design of the stair railings, these two monochrome -contrasting elements in design.”
Interior design and lacquer specialist Tila Lee also determine the more subtle use of color in the entire room. A little contraguically claims that pure white walls are actually the best place to present color. “In this room, the walls jump from you from you and generate illusions of the undertones in art on the walls,” she says. “Combine this with the shiny white floor and you really get a mirrored effect that shows the very minimal colors and shines the mostly empty slate.”
When it comes to choosing a color scheme, it is always a good idea to select a few colors in your favorite decor or accessories to plan the rest of your room. While Ricky's entrance falls onto the more minimalist side, the color splashes contained in its blue -brown works of art bring just enough variation into the picture and create a coherent palette that marries the room together.
“The neutral color in the stairwell walls extends similarly to the neutral color of blue art, and the wood in the railing fits very much like the wood in the door,” explains Tila. “This creates enough repetition to bring the minimally decorated space together and make it intended.”
If you are partially on minimalist, neutral interiors, but want a subtle splash of color in your room, a modernized piece of wall art like this is the right way.
White walls will always be a classic choice, especially in an entrance in which they offer a light and airy feeling. White Dove by Benjamin Moore is a designer favorite with just enough warmth for a soft, inviting feeling.

If you have not decided whether you want to decorate with white or not, have Rickys input entrance offered a source of inspiration. In contrast to the opinion, bright white walls with just a few colors can cause a great visual influence and prove that sometimes less is really more.
