How to Master the Art of Decorating with White

I love the way using light neutrals in home décor lends an uncomplicated elegance to a room. In my home, I use pale, creamy tones on the walls for an effect that I find both soothing and classic. Since writing my first post about the lovely book Cottage Style: A Palette of White, I have heard a number of compliments to the talented team at The Cottage Journal for their fine job of showing the creative potential of working with white interiors.

From traditional décor to modern accents to sunny coastal retreats, the coffee table book has home tours to inspire fresh décor for any space. After browsing the pages, readers might love the look but feel lost when figuring out how to make all-white work for them. So to help, the editors at Cottage compiled 5 Tips for Decorating With White, which showcases some of the book’s beautiful content and offers practical design ideas you can easily apply to your own home.

Pairing white walls with wood tones, for instance, allows nature’s beauty to shine through your indoor spaces. White walls also make an ideal backdrop for a colorful collection of books or china.
