A Colorful World: Shades of White with Sarah from Cozy.Cottage.Cute

Today I have Sarah here from Cozy.Cottage.Cute.  She is the perfect person to talk about white as her home is filled with all sorts of pretty white things!  See for yourself!

I heart white. Like a lot.

I might even be a little bit obsessed with white. The list of white things in my home could go on and on and on and on: couches, furniture, linens, curtains, frames, dishes, lamps, lampshades, pitchers, trays, flower pots, flowers, mirrors, accessories, etc. etc. etc.
What I love most about white is that it can be paired, and look good with, just about any other colour. 

For example (all images via Country Living):

White + Pink

White + Blue



White + Red



White + Yellow



White + Orange



White + Black

White + Turquoise

White + Neutrals

White + White

In my own home, I have so many white pieces of furniture and accessories that I like to bring colour in through wall paint (pale yellows, blues, and greens) and a few coloured accessories. I also like to add in some natural materials (woven baskets, unpainted wood, bamboo blinds) to add some texture.   

Here are some examples of whites used in my own home:

White dining table and chairs.

White slipcovered couches.

White curtains.

White frames and pictures.

White mirrors.

White shelves.

White accessories.

What I also love about white is how versatile it is. You can use it to create so many different looks. White paired with rustic elements can create a farmhouse feel. Adding a few ruffles, florals, and chippy furniture can create a shabby chic look. Breezy blues and stripes paired with white can create the feeling of a beach cottage. You can even add some white, clean-lined pieces to give a room some modern touches.
Summary: I love white. What about you? Did I bring you over to the dark white side? 🙂

    Lately I have been really loving white! I see that It could be used in so many ways. White with a mix of turqoise is my favorite. The more beautiful pictures I see like yours, the more I am gravitated to whites! Thanks for sharing!

    Such pretty images, especially love that white and yellow bedroom! Makes me wish for a house decorated with more white, a getaway retreat maybe?
