simply white :: design inspiration



White is the blank canvas that draws you in.
to take a closer look.
A frame of white creates a pristine, clean and contemporary gallery ...the perfect backdrop.

I love the minimal feel of the images above. An oversize print in a dining room that peels back to just eat and art. Don't be afraid to make two unique pieces the focal point in a room. They become beautiful just by their large and 'wow' factor - ironically simplicity being their nature.

Wood and white is an absolute fav of mine. White will lean to modern, while the wood keeps everything warm. Be open to the spaces that you would normally overlook. The staircase is a tiny space with an odd wall. We all have a few of these walls, and they are the perfect opportunity to create something with frames, words and images. Let yourself get really creative.

The last image: Organized and Unfinished Beauty.
With room to 'add' or possibly just leave 'unfinished' (notice that one framed image is missing near the end?)
I love this.
Shy away from the norm of completing everything. In it's unfinished-ness I find myself questioning -- and what a beautiful thing to be curious.

What beautiful and curious spaces are you creating?

happy long weekend
