If you have followed this blog for a while you might be familiar with my line “Life is too Short for White walls”. Well ironically, or perhaps to test myself (?) the bungalow rental we are in for the next few months has…yes…only WHITE walls. After living with a kaleidoscope of colors in our old house it felt at first refreshing with stark white walls. But walking through our Virginia house (soon no longer ours…) via Skype yesterday and seeing all the pretty colors – I suddenly felt deprived! Sorry but I really love color!
That’s not t say you can’t create some some cheerful spaces with an all white backdrop. For all renters out there, or white-wall-lovers-but-want-a touch-of-color-people, here are some ways to add color to your space..

A great starting point add a– BOLD COLORED COUCH.
Via Belle Maison.
Add CONTRASTING FURNITURE AND PATTERNS. This fun window seat and dining table certainly does not lack color. (Okay the walls are light gray but you get the point)
Adding COLORFUL ART and PILLOWS and BOOKS is another way to bring color and life in to the space.

This cool dining room is framed by white, but nothing a bright kilim can’t slam dunk.
(Can’t wait for my vintage kilims to arrive next month.)
And last GREEN PLANTS add a lot of warmth.
