Decorating With White

How do you go about decorating with white? Technically, white isn't a 'color'. It is the absence of a unique spectral reflection.
But, use it as a method of decorating and design in a room and you feel the 'presence' of the light.

Whites and off whites can be used almost exclusively in a room, and, when splashes of color are applied sparingly, the whites take on a focus and personality of their own.

Gone are the distractions of multi colors and patterns, so each muted piece, texture, shape and shade of white can be fully seen and appreciated. Should you add some color to a room that is has been decorated with white? That is up to you, but consider introducing a subtle touch of color. 

Your selected color(s) could be found in a table arrangement, a picture frame, as a pattern in an area rug, collectibles on display, flecks of color found in a carpet, artwork on the walls, a lamp base or shade, to name a few.

What colors look great with white? When decorating with white you can add just about any color and it will look good against the neutral backdrop of the room.

Mix white with lavender and gray and you’ll get instant glamor. White and black, instant drama. White and yellow, instant chic. White and blue, instant freshness.
