White Does Not Equal Plain

By Amy Patterson

Classy, elegant, clean, fresh – these are some of the words that come to mind when I think of a white-inspired interior design palette. Whether it’s all-white walls, white cabinetry, white flooring or white accessories, it is a color (non-color?) that matches every aesthetic and theme  and, like its counterpart black, truly goes with everything.  

Much like black, white can take on different styles depending on what color(s) it is paired with. This white room with black accents looks modern….
