Decorating for calm. . .

The Summer heat is pushing me to the extreme. It's making me want to surround myself in a sea of neutrals, soft nudes, beige and white mostly. It's typically around this time of year when I become obsessed with all white interiors. I think I just crave that cool, clean and calming color palette so that I can reset and prepare my inspirations for the second half of the year. 

I've also found myself burning tuberose around my home constantly. While I love more complex, luxurious smells. Florals keep me feeling lighthearted, happy and blissful. 

For many of us who lead busy lives, all white can be really difficult to keep clean. I encourage you to open yourself up to layering white with neutrals and beiges. This is how you can achieve the look, without stressing yourself with keeping the whites pristine.

Design Inspiration: Working with whites

I can't stop feeling inspired by really good white interiors. Just layers and layers of white. White walls. White-ish sofas. White pillows. White floors. White lamps and tables. White chairs. All of it. It just feels so good and fresh to me right now. 

I loved this living room + bedroom combo, Kerri Rosenthal's home looks so good in Lonny. 

You can add just a simple pop of color for some major impact or you can go with beiges and natural elements like wood for some warmth. Either way it looks so good. 

For me personally, I'd probably go with some black for the glam factor. 

I love a modern white dresser in even the most casual of rooms.  This kind of white chair is pretty and durable which is always a plus. White bookcases will always be all the rage. I think pedestal tables are bomb for showcasing busts and sculptures. White mirrors looks so good on a glossy white wall.  I love a unique modern dining table feel. I think a white moroccan pouf always works well. How chic is a femme bust with a partial silver face? Love it. The Dora Maar white vase is pretty bomb too. White marble grapes are such a chic coffee table topper. A white box with a gorgeous stone always steps up the glam.
