Decorating With White

Give in to the simple elegance of white.

This go-to neutral pairs perfectly with every shade, but don't underestimate its power to stand alone.


Timeless Design
The kitchen's U-shaped layout makes it clear that this is the command center, where the entertaining, cooking, and family gatherings take place. Creamy cabinets, an ivory La Cornue stove, and neutral laminate flooring work together to make this high-traffic zone feel open and uncrowded.



Soothing Escape
In a small space, the decorating priority should be to keep the eye from being distracted. The easiest solution: Keep the palette cohesive without injecting too many shots of color. In this all-white bathroom, the tub, walls, and tiles create a sense of tranquillity. Even the details-frameless mirror, light and airy window treatments, and freestanding sink-reflect the understated vibe.



Warm and Inviting
When you have intentions of turning a room into an entertaining space, a neutral canvas is a great starting spot. In this dining room, the built-in cabinets, natural exposed paneling, and white linoleum flooring make the perfect platform to build upon. Add instant charm around the long dining table with Queen Anne upholstered dining chairs in an antique white finish. For an unexpected touch, hang a modern pendant overhead.
