It's hard to keep an all-white room looking clean.
Tom Merton/Getty ImagesArchitect and interior designer Kobi Karp of Kobi Karp Architecture and Interior Design told Business Insider that the all-white, minimalist trend isn't practical for most homes.

Instead of going all white, try a rich blue or sage green that imparts a cool and clean vibe without the laborious upkeep.
