'Tis the Season for Winter White

Winter White creates a classic design statement. Winter whites include softened whites, creams, and shades of gray, gold or beige. These warm colors are layered throughout a design to create depth and tonal drama. Woven fabrics, furs, burlaps, washed wood carvings, and distressed accessories are all

examples of this layered color.

Traditional design displays the warm tones of white and creates the warmth and glow within a space. Cooler tones are used for a more contemporary trend and create crisp and distinct design lines. These cooler tones favor the modern color

pallette of gray, silver, and oyster.

The honeycomb design motif has become a modern day marvel in interior design. It stems from the classic bee motif that dates all the way back to Napoleon. Its geometric pattern lends itself well to comtemporary and streamlined design.
