If you ever feel overwhelmed in your home décor or wardrobe design–try getting back to basics with a look grounded in shades of white.
Let’s talk about white. The bright-as-a-blank-canvas, crisp-as-new-sheets, pure-as-a-snowflake kind of white.
White is perfect in many ways. Perfect for fashion, design, housewares and furniture. It works for everything from architecture to automobiles.
Don’t get me wrong, I love color. But there’s just something about white, especially in winter, that’s so appealing. Maybe it’s the idea of a fresh start that comes with January. Whatever the reason, simplifying a color palette can be inspiring, awakening a fresh start through the wonder of white in winter.
From bright white to off-white, cream to ecru, buff to almond, here are a few of my favorite things—made perfect in white.
