White Texture

Contemporary decor asks for the minimal in color but maximum in texture and form. Above are some great examples of high texture in pure white. Play with your home palette by contrasting smooth and shiny with matte and textured objects. From the floor to the ceiling you should be exploring texture. Consider whitewashed barn wood floors and antique furniture with hits of new and contemporary plastic or ceramic pieces. Have some fun with it like the Her Chair from Fabio Novembre (1). Play with positive and negative space like the bowl from insideavenue.com (2).  My favorite way to add sparkle, texture and luxury all at once is to have a large Italian chandelier like this one from lamurrina.us (3). Vases and urns can decorate mantles, table tops and awkward corners. Play with heights, shapes and sizes to create a stunning array of form (4). Bring in flowers alive or contrived for a more natural palette little items like this decor piece from insideavenue.com can add a tonne of texture without needing to be watered (5).  Never cheap out on storage, a big white trunk at the foot of a bed or as a night stand or coffee table  can add interest, curiosity and most importantly hidden storage. Try one like this from insideavenue.com (6).  Be creative with your furniture, never take your furniture to seriously or stiff and try to vary seating types. For a lounging art piece try the truffle chair from porro.com (7).  The floor is one of the largest and greatest surfaces to explore texture, your bare feet will thank me. Consider something plush and carved like any rug from floortoheaven.com (8).

I found the fairy kingdom and I want to stay! The genius of Marcel Wanders amazes me time and time again. The creation of Villa Moda in Bahrain will be open soon and I am sure the girly girls will be lined up outside the store regardless of what they are selling just to experience this lace dream world. My best friend Dominique will surely be dreaming up some crochet masterpiece for me to incorporate into a design after sinking her eyes on these photos.
