Summer, Summer, Summer Whites

All you need is love (and a can of white paint)

A home drenched in white is cool and calming all year long.  How you apply the versatile color to the room is key.  When faced with a white backdrop, most go with the “anything goes” approach, but that’s when things get chaotic.  There should always be theme in mind when planning your approach to your interior.  Our trusted tip? Let the furniture help tell the story of the space.

White is the go-to if a room is on the smaller side, as it maximizes light and gives the illusion of a larger space. The key to white-on-white is using different shades to add layers of dimension to the room, while still maintaining that big bright space.

The splashes of color in this room differentiate the space into sections-- where the room should look large and spacious, and where it should be small and cozy.

White walls and installations keep this kitchen cool and modern. Mix whites with high beams to achieve maximum open area in a room.

We love brick in bedrooms, but it can certainly tighten a space. Interrupting brick walls with white paint opens up the space and makes for a unique contrast.
