Decorating With White

Cozy Space

Let a focal-point architectural detail like a beautiful bay window inspire decorating decisions. A white cotton fabric sofa and glass table will complement–not compete with–the light and energy projecting from the window. To accentuate the room’s height and make it feel even more spacious, hang long white drapes as close to the ceiling as possible. Work in textures to warm up an all-white nook: Toss on pillows with subtle designs; layer an area rug in a muted tone over the wall-to-wall carpeting.
