Wonderful White Wonders

Elle Decor
Living in a hot Christmas climate always makes me think of the winter white palette that the north of the world gets to play with at this time of year, and this picture above is a gorgeous reminder of how wonderfully whites and creams work with the festive touches that only this time of year can provide. But, even away from the season you all know that I am totally devoted to the warms white and cream family and these next images, although not Christmas related, show who wonderful they really are at any time of year.

White linen covers on sofa’s and chairs is always a winner in my book, and a staple to any decorating scheme, along with blue and white china it is an enviable duo. Not to ever forget the tactile and textural wicker – always a friend of these two!

Creamy white kitchen units paired with nickle is another winner, as teamed up here by one of my favourite designers, Sarah Richardson.

Country Living
Now, lets not forget the vintage and antique elements to really set off a white scheme. I have always loved blue mixed in with white and these ticking cushions are a wonderful pairing to all of the vintage artwork on the wall…and the bus roll!

..but, this is photo is a wonderful example of all of those details I love – Worn wood, wicker, sisal, white cupboards, linen, slipcovers, greenery, vintage lighting, antique/vintage pieces and all within a wonderfully white canvas. All that’s needed now is some artwork or prints on the walls.
Is there anyone out there that is as smitten with these things as I am?? or am I just crackers, I am sure there are more of you.

  • You are not alone Ness. Heart palpitations over all these things here too in sunny (snowless) Queensland. Boy, snow would have been nice here today… what a stinker. Blah, why do I live here again? I forget how hot it gets every year! A-M xx

  • I adore the white look and would like a lot more of it, but my husband likes colour and keeps destroying my plans, so I have given in. He is always sticking some ugly bright thing in the middle of my vignettes. Oh well – his house too! haha. Living in a VERY cold climate, I do think a touch of visual warmth is nice – the all white can feel VERY frosty when it’s -25C outside (which it is here now!!!!!). Horrid!

    Love the pics. Yes, must be odd having a hot Christmas – never thought of that, as we always have cold and snow. I would LOVE to exchange with you….
