Never underestimate the power of white. With an ability to be warm or cool and everywhere in between, this color can transform a room in the most unassuming way. Here are a few of our favorite uses of white at Remodelista; from a sugary coat on walls to the warm ivory of a natural fabric accessory.
Above: The white background in this simple bathroom in Australia allows the few design elements–a cross medicine cabinet, a pendant light and a round mirror–to stand out and punctuate the space.
Above: If the traditional beer garden table colors (green metal and wood) do not prove flattering for a certain space, consider painting it white like this one seen via Light Locations.
Above: This collection of empty vintage frames painted white creates an artistic visual full of depth and context, proving less is more. Image via Yatzer.
Above: In the Dutch home of textile artist Paula Leen, raw elements are softened by a light background. Here, a wash of bright white paint on the bricks accentuates the natural ivory of the wool sheep cover.
Above: At the Anthem Cafe & Bar in Tokyo, a collection of wine bottles spray-painted matte white creates a minimal accent on the shelves.

I did not know there was such a color as white until they let me out of my white rubber room, and the lovely Kodachrome world revealed itself to me for the very first time!
Great article, thanks for sharing :)
I especially like the textures like the brick with white. It adds interest.
looks so nice yet so simple.
Simplicity works! I love the idea of white bottles reused as decor
Since I use so much color in other elements, white walls work best.
like the look but couldn't live with it myself.
