i've made it my goal today to research all white interior spaces. why? well, because up to this point in my life i've had a phobia of white walls. to my knowledge, the very reason i've developed such an opinion is due to the fact that in my mind color = liveliness. color = creative. color = better. let me also point out that throughout my college years, i lived in an apartment complex that was (let me try and not be too harsh) lacking in the architecturally appealling department and was going more for the 'cheap and tacky' demeanor. everything within the interior was a sloppy white. the only way i knew to remove the 'misery' from the space was to paint the walls. it was a quick fix; however, it never dawned on me that color, in fact, could be implimented into a room through the use of objects as opposed to the actual walls themselves. in researching this topic of white walls within my blog, my desire is to disprove my theory of white being bland, dull and lifeless. this isnt implying that from now on i will never put color on walls within my home. don't get me wrong, i still love colored walls very much. this is just taking me out of my own design box, and placing me comfortably into another one. and after deliberating on these images, i will say, i am completely pleased at what white can actually do for a space..
notice how beautifully color pops in each of the spaces. even books bring out a unique design feature in a white space, than if they were within a room immersed in color.
i just love the image below (left). the glass tabletop is resting on a stack of colorful magazines. aside from the fact that i'm jealous that the person who designed this space had enough magazines to create table legs with them, i am lusting over the yellow lamp resting oh so nicely on top of the table. what a delightful room?!
question(s): what do you think about white spaces? and how do you impliment creativity into an all white space? i'd love to know.
