HOW TO


DECORATE


WITH


This classy color palette is simple and refined,
and doesn’t have to look sterile or cold. Here are
Nadia’s tips for designing all-white interiors.

MIX SHADES
In this kitchen, there are many different shades of
white and off-white. They all fit together to create a
kitchen that looks white overall but isn’t completely
monotone. Try mixing off-white cabinets with
a white backsplash, as Nadia has done, or white
countertops with some marbling to add a bit of color.
The trim of the room should be a different color than
the walls too, even if both colors are similar.

ADD ACCENTS
Accents of a different color are a great way to break
up big blocks of white. These can be colorful accents,
like green dishes or red barstools, or neutral accents,
like the wood table and cutting boards that Nadia
added. Keep in mind that the less bold color you
have, the more texture you’ll want to incorporate.

White


The homeowner likes whites and off-whites, so Nadia made sure to
choose a color palette that would match the rest of the home.

Try mixing linen-hued
colors with a crisp white
for a fresh look that
adds dimension.
