The start of the new year always puts me in the mood to refresh the home. It is time to purge and prune and edit. Darker winter make us crave lighter colours also, and there may be none better than white.
Here is a tip if you are looking to lighten your home: Paint walls at the fundamental off-the-shelf white at your paint store, and you’ll never need to colour match it for touch-ups and refreshing. Meanwhile, add a few white furnishings to decorate things up. — Valorie from The Visual Vamp
Candelabra
Oly Studio Faline Bed
Recently on Million Dollar Decorators, Martyn Lawrence Bullard had a bed custom made in faux ivory. This bed from Oly is an investment, but it is a million-dollar look for a lot less.
Candelabra
Restoration Warehouse Clara Barstool, White Weathered – $633.15
I adore this hoof-footed stool. You could change out the upholstery, maybe to some thing with hair hide.
Sam’s Club
100 Percent Genuine Sheepskin Rug – $268.24
White sheepskin rugs are a wonderful way to add winter white into your room. Check your local Sam’s Club for good bargains on sheepskin and cowhide rugs.
Candelabra
Restoration Warehouse Buddha Chair, Teak – $979.88
The secret to using white would be to mix in organic neutrals like this iconic chair. After a rare and expensive find, the hand seat is now being replicated for the masses.
Cost Plus World Market
White Canvas Reindeer Bust – $59.99
A chic white accent is the creature head. I love this one since it is covered in newsprint.
Cost Plus World Market
White Owl Accent Lamp Base – $24.99
Maybe this small lamp will be exactly the right touch of white onto your desk or kitchen counter tops.
Asian Storage Bins And Boxes – $49.95
White lacquer boxes are so simple and so elegant.
Home Decorators Collection
French Side Chair, Antique White – $169
Each area needs a French seat, and this one having a white frame and pale linen upholstery is so perfect. And at this price, you could find a set for the table.
Home Decorators Collection
Essex Bookcase With Glass Doors, Aged Cream – $479
A wall of those white bookcases are a speedy method to change an entire room.
Home Decorators Collection
Julia Armoire – $899
This armoire is meant to get a TV, but its chinoiserie lines make it flexible storage for anything from china to linens to garments.
Home Decorators Collection
Martha Stewart Living Classic Cotton Drapery Panel, Pure White – $19
Simple white cotton drape panels are so easy on the eyes and easy to accomplish.
Zinc Door
Global Perspectives White Faux Bois Dining Table – $2,248
I adore this table! The organic form of the tree trunk is just magnificent. It could also be used as an entry hall table.
Overstock.com
Stratham White Midcentury Modern Club Chair – $398.99
A classic vintage-modern seat in crisp white is a winner.
Urban Outfitters
900 Blok USA Coffee Table – $299
This java table in the shape of a map would be a superb play table at a kids’ room. Insert some floor cushions for seating.
Ballard Designs
Ceramic Vases – $24.99
Mix your whites along with other pale neutrals to get a layered look. Suzanne Kasler makes it easy with those ceramic vases.
IKEA
Ektorp Jennylund Chair, Blekinge White – $199
The Ikea Ektrop seat is still the very best price ever. It includes a white slipcover that would be more expensive than the seat if you had it custom made. Use four of these in a space rather than a sofa.
Anthropologie
Bramble Coverlet – $198
White bedding is flexible and always gives a bedroom a lift. This coverlet is so unique.
Overstock.com
Wingback Natural Linen Love Seat – $464.99
A white linen high-back settee can stand alone or be used as bench-style chairs in a table.
Amazon
Pale & Interesting – $21.86
This book says it all and will inspire you — and demonstrate how you can combine your items with white.
West Elm
Rocking Bird, White – $14
I just adore this small rocking bird. Put it on your coffee table with publications along with a vase of white blossoms.
