Anything but boring, white is incredibly versatile. And decorating with
it—despite its hundreds of shades—is simpler than you might think. From
a true, snowy white to warm creamy tones to pale, silvery grays, the first
step is to understand the difference—and why it matters for your space.
Create a canvas with crisp white sheets—you can never have too many sets—then add your layers. A mix of textured jacquards, European flax linen and soft metallics feels luxe but lived in.

Create a foundation with a white table + buffet, then bring in other tones—marled gray chairs, ikat rugs and ombre accents—for a monochromatic mix.
Shop All DiningClassic white dishes will never go out of style. Make them pop with metallic trim + punchy black flatware.
A raw-edged flax quilt feels relaxed but refined. Don't be afraid to add a rich pop of color in the form of an accent wall or headboard.
Shop Cream + Natural BeddingCreamy whites are a
natural complement to
raw materials like
wood, jute and flax.
Don't shy away from a light sofa—neutral upholstery lets design details shine. Looking for durability?
Choose a poly-blend fabric like twill or performance velvet.
Rethink tradition with a tufted Chesterfield in black leather. Cover the spectrum with a tiled table in white and a tonal graphic rug to pull it all together.
Shop Living RoomGeometric shapes and oversized art add drama + dimension to a soft gray space.
Dress your bed in an ombre of grays for a soothing effect. A pop of modern pastel—like soft blue or dusty pink— creates a cool contrast.

well on a bed of
traditional matelasse to
create a simple, crisp look.
