As someone who loves white and neutral tones in my home, I was thrilled to come across “For the Love of White: The White and Neutral Home”
by The White Company. As a parent and dog owner, I have always had to be cautious about incorporating white items in my home. White furniture and décor are often seen as impractical due to kids and pets, but this book showed me that with the right approach, it can actually be done.
The book is organized into three sections, Country, Town, and Coastal, which makes it easy to find inspiration that suits your personal style. I was particularly drawn to the Town section, which features beautiful white interiors in city apartments and townhouses. The photography is absolutely stunning, and I was blown away by the attention to detail in each room. From the subtle use of texture and pattern to the clever use of lighting, each space was thoughtfully put together to create a calming and peaceful atmosphere.
What sets this book apart from others in the same genre is the practical advice and tips provided by Chrissie Rucker, the founder of The White Company. She offers suggestions on how to incorporate white and neutral tones in different types of spaces, such as the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. I appreciated her approach to decorating, which is centered around creating a warm and inviting home that feels lived in. This is something that is especially important to me, as I don’t want my home to feel sterile or unwelcoming.
One of the biggest takeaways from this book was that white and neutral tones can be incorporated in a practical and stylish way, even in homes with kids and pets. The key is to choose materials that are durable and easy to clean, such as cotton and linen, and to opt for darker shades of white or neutral tones that can hide any marks or stains. By following these tips, I was able to create a white and neutral home that is both beautiful and functional, which is exactly what I was looking for.
I would highly recommend “For the Love of White: The White and Neutral Home” to anyone who is looking to create a calm and peaceful white home. Whether you live in a city apartment, a country cottage, or a townhouse, this book offers the inspiration and advice you need to transform your space into a beautiful white and neutral haven. It is truly a must-read for anyone who loves white and neutral tones in their home, and I look forward to incorporating many of the ideas and tips into my own home in the future.
Hi,
Love all the great information you shared with us! Thank you so much!!
I wonder if you have a solution to my problem…the front of the stainless dishwasher has “drip marks” running down the front. Is there any “miracle cleaner” you could share with me?
Thank you!
