The new year is a perfect time to add some winter whites into your home to create a fresh, clean look. However, white decor isn’t the easiest to keep clean, especially with kids and pets. So rather than opting for a big, white couch, HGTV suggests incorporating the winter neutral with one of these elements instead:
Lighting Accents: White diffused light fixtures or a sculptural statement lighting piece can be the perfect pop of white in any room, and will create a cozy glow in darker
spaces.
Painted Brick: Rather than all-white walls, painting a brick fireplace or accent brick wall can make a space seem larger and brighter. Plus, they will allow for other
color pairings throughout the room.
Texture and Patterns: Add touches of white with a faux-fur throw or rug in the living room, or layer different patterns, such as
a duvet and pillows in the bedroom. These items will add depth to a space, and they can be easily removed or washed if anything is ever spilled on them.
Drapes:
White linen drapes are not only great accent pieces, they help diffuse outside light and are easy to clean.
Marble:
White Carrara marble is a beautiful accent, but it comes with a large price tag. Rather than have the entire kitchen or bathroom outfitted, choose a smaller area, such as a breakfast nook or vanity, to fit the space and your budget.
