This dining space from a house featured in Homes & Gardens (UK) shows how an all-white decorating scheme can feel warm and inviting -- even in a modern architectural space. White (and its multifarious shades) can have more character than one might assume: Notice how this room uses several shades of white in one space.
Homes & Gardens, September 2005, IPC Media
A handful of dark elements, like the stools and the farm table's top, break up the all-white canvas. Meanwhile, natural wood, rush seats and multiple fabrics work to create texture in the room. The variations in color and texture work to give this space its warmth.
