Accessories are so often a place for incorporating color without having to commit to major changes. But in the effort to create impact, sometimes white is overlooked as an exciting, viable choice for making an accessory statement. Against a dark backdrop, white can be a showstopping color; against a neutral backdrop, it can fade gracefully into the background, letting another element of the room shine. For versatility and a clean, modern feel, it's hard to beat the color white. Here are some of our favorite ways to incorporate white accessories into your decor.

| A white accessory on a dark table is so eye catching. An unexpected, unusual shape like this is a bonus. |
The kitchen is one of our top spots for incorporating white accessories. White canisters are perfect for storing everything from tea to pasta, and they add clean dimension to counters and shelves.

| Against a dark or patterned wall or backsplash, white accessories make the stonework or wall covering stand out. |

A home office is one of those rooms where there tends to never be enough space. Sticking with white touches makes the room feel cleaner, larger and less cluttered. White file and storage boxes are functional and aesthetically pleasing.

| White accessories from the sea are some of our very favorites. Coral, starfish and unusual shells look great on occasional tables, in a bookcase or as a centerpiece. |
Dark woods or metallic tones are so often a go-to choice for frames. Against a colored wall, white frames can make just as big a statement while looking fresh and modern.
A white vase or pitcher highlights the vibrancy of blooms fresh from the garden.
One of the most prominent features of a Lucite coffee table is that it allows a view to the colors and patterns of the rug below. Accessorizing is made easy with a couple of well-placed white accessories that don't fight with the floor.

Plates and cups may be made for dining, but if you love them, why hide them behind a cabinet? White china looks great in any kitchen and is a timeless choice you'll be glad you made years after you put it on your wedding registry.
