I am enjoying my home in Houston Texas! I am married to Mark Royalty my high school sweetheart. He supports me in my unique and expensive decorating pursuits! My 12 year old daughter Maddy is a budding designer and my 15 year old son Harrison could care less about design right now but I know there is hope for him!

warmth of white (5 comments)

So many people say that white is cold. Haven't you heard of the term "white hot"? White has a warmth by reflecting light beautifully like no other color can do. These rooms are "radiant" in white, just like a bride is on her wedding day.

Great ideas! I really like the impact of all the whites with just a few touches of other colors.

The contrast of the paintings in the perkinseastman apartment, against the pristine white background, is stunning.
White Hot!
I have a very white/cream scheme in my home. I am finding it hard to add some color. It seems to take away from the power of the white. Does anyone else find this to be a problem? How do you decide what to add?
jith says:
Royaltygirl - it's got to look right for you, but as with the bold red painting I commented on, the white/cream scheme background is so versatile. Try accessorizing with bold colors for vases, throw-blankets, pillows, flowers, rugs. Against the white/cream, the more brilliant the better. And when you get bored with one combination you can mix it up with new accessories.
