White Walls: A Trend That's Here to Stay

Take a moment to swoon over the white walls, custom cabinetry and bright, natural sunlight in this sunny kitchen. The design dream team at CLOTH & KIND share why they opted for white walls: "This modern farmhouse project of ours is set on a pristine, 65 acres just outside of Athens, GA, and so we wanted to take total advantage of all that mother nature has to offer! This included letting the light in and using crisp, white walls to maintain a simple, clean and calming vibe throughout the home. The white backdrop also allowed us to really layer in interesting textures, art, accessories and, of course, plenty of vintage and found items. Because at the end of the day, it's these things that truly make a house feel like a home and allow for us to create the most beautiful spaces — those brimming with history and heart, with story and substance."

Use varying shades of soft whites, creams and grays together for a tranquil bedroom that guarantees restful sleep. The classic pairing of these colors also ensures a space that never goes out of style. What better place to start and end each day, eh?

"This large master bedroom had an unusual vaulted ceiling," shares interior designer of this grand and gorgeous master suite, Claire Paquin. So why white? "We wanted to capitalize on the ceiling's height without calling too much attention to its asymmetrical nature. If we painted the walls a color and the ceiling white, your eye would have immediately been drawn to the unusual shapes above. By selecting a soothing white color, Ballet White by Benajmin Moore, for both the walls and the ceilings, we enveloped the room in a wash of light, and the drama of the space can be truly appreciated."

Embrace the sun with a light-reflecting wall color. White ushers the natural, warm light into this glorious spa-like bathroom. Easily achieve the same look in your own master bath by layering white walls with white countertops, white floors and pops of earthy accents.
