Winter Whites
Love the look and feeling of a white room but not sure if you have to keep the white the same value? I have good news. You can relax and create a warm atmosphere by mix and matching all variations of white and cream. Mixing it up helps avoid a sterile, cold feeling. From frosty icicles and glistening snowdrifts, winter wears a wardrobe of white that helps to inspire decor in any style.
QUICK TIP —
Look for fabrics that have:
- Visual depth
- Texture
- Yarn variation (different sizes of yarns and different yarn types)
Don't shy away from using white this season — envelope it, adore it, live with it and best of all love it! As always, if you see something you like here or it sparks your imagination, contact me and I can source pieces for you or help in creating your room.
Here are some examples of how to incorporate white —
This exquisitely appointed crystal and polished nickel chandelier from Hudson Valley Lighting is elegant.
Nubby, chunky wool carpeting to add warmth and
texture under foot. This is called Jaffa, from Stark Carpet.
Curl up on this over-sized, comfy sectional with clean lines (find at Kravet.com). Just be careful not to spill the hot chocolate!
Pillow power from Pottery Barn — see what I mean about texture?
Add a dash of mirror and polished nickel (table from Worlds Away) to reflect all of the different textures and items for a home run!
Lacquered painted pieces (shiny) are a nice compliment to the thick, full textures
of the fabrics and flooring.
Accessories are key. Decorative coral (from Furbish Studio) adds an element of whimsy and texture to the table top.
The final touch — Add a stack of coffee table books, preferrebly with white binding accented with colored or black lettering.
