We are certainly not alone in the feeling of wanting to shed in January... shed a few pounds, shed any grudges, shed clutter, shed the daily news. What could be more refreshing and exciting than a clean slate?
My fantasy of a clean slate is an empty apartment, painted white, and preferably in Paris. Near the Seine would be amazing, but I won't get too picky. The fantasy continues with how I would decorate said apartment. Usually I would go with some bold colors and textures to brighten those gloomy Paris days, but currently I am craving whites. Lots and lots of layered winter whites.
I often browse through all of the Castel books in my office thinking of fun ways to scheme our fabrics together. I am always amazed by how many different styles and looks I can create with under 1000 skus! Modern, clean, fancy, traditional, boho, neutral, patterned and colorful all in a pile on my office floor.
Our advice on pulling off a winter white interior is not to match, but rather to embrace the subtleties of oyster, crème, beige, ecru, and snow white through textures and slight patterns. You will discover that whites are actually quite warm and inviting.
See! This photo was shot in our snowy backyard, and voila, warm! Winter interior fantasy complete.
Give it a shot, and let us know if you need any white samples, we are stocked and ready for winter! We are off to warm up with hot toddies by the fire...
