Whiteness as a backdrop

From http://www.paloma81.blogspot.com/

Love this room, A great yellow, gotta be careful with yellows, too pale and it looks boring, to orange and it looks like it should be lines down the middle of the road. But when it’s right it’s amazing. Love the soft blues, harsh whites and of course I love the blacks. The mirrors create a lot of disception here and not of all of us can live with a whole wall of mirrors, I know I can’t. A mirrored wall can also go all 70′s disco on us and we don’t want that. (a side note – I did once have a client that wanted Disco – our relationship didn’t last long, as I had to advise here that if she wanted to sell the house anytime soon Disco would cause a major reduction of equity)  On a lighter note. white carpets, unless you have enough cash to replace them often, no animals, no shoes, no red wine, no coffee, no blue coolaid, etc.. don’t do it. It’s dangerous. As will most of the images we critique this room is staged, take your favorite elements and ALWAYS make your home yours and your alone. A good decorator will help you with that.
