White Now
Kara Cox -- Home Accents Today, 7/1/2005
With summer in full swing, a cool white palette simplifies design to create a light-as-air style. An all-white look uses texture and scale to create interest as luxe fabrics such as linen and silk offer a chic contrast to shiny surfaces like glass and lacquer. Tone-on-tone pattern leads the eye and brings attention to the finer points of design. White-hot style creates a glamorous canvas where form and detail truly shine.
