World of Color - White (2 comments)

View Slideshow
"White ... is not a mere absence of colour; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black.... God paints in many colours; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white."

--Gilbert Keith Chesterton [British author, 1874–1936] “A Piece of Chalk,” Tremendous Trifles (1909)
The white shades add to the coolness factor.

It is pretty rare to find a white home office. This one with the pretty colored items looks like a nice place to work in.

The white makes the room feel bigger and increases the light. The ceiling lights add to the enhancing effect.

I am sure the dining area would look equally splendid with a bowl of oranges in summer, or gourds in October.

A white table allows you to add chairs of different colors, thus letting you set the mood of the room ... and changing it at a whim.

I love using white with just a splash of another color (usually red or orange). I really like both kitchens in this ideabook.
Thanks for including my work in your excellent ideabook. --david
