If there’s one room where clean and comfortable are king, it’s the bedroom. Nebulous White is a great wall shade for those who want a white without starkness. It has a slight tint of gray while still being a clean white. A soft headboard in a warmer tone balances the cool, as do blue tones in the accent pillows and rug. Go “extra” with Extra White on windows and trims to welcome morning light.

A warm white, Canvas Tan brightens the all-important transitional room, the foyer, as it reflects light coming in through the windows.  An even warmer canvas and wood chair and rug balance cooler tones. The light fixture hints to a bit of luxury and brings a more modern touch to a traditional room. Don’t be afraid to mix metals, like the door handle. It shows your home (and tastes) evolve. Extending the Oxford White trim to the next room helps draw the visitor inside.

Look up. Don’t forget the importance of ceiling paint. High Reflective White captures light and plays with it throughout the day. Pick up the palette of pillows and artwork to coordinate and complement Pure White walls. Pure White adds a subtle contrast and brings out slight dimension from the fireplace.
