White Space
I wrote to lovely Sophia from the So Binique blog because I spotted her very white living room there and thought it would be nice to share corners of it on decor8 for some inspiration! I like to begin a new weekend feeling positive and motivated and nothing quite does it like seeing a beautiful home, eating a good meal, having social time with friends, a nature walk… and since we are sharing this virtual space together and I cannot cook for you — then I have chosen to show a beautiful room with lots of white to clear your mind and give you a fresh slate to work from for the weekend! :) Trust me, you are better off — my cooking skills leave much to be desired. :)
See any lovely ideas that you can use at home? Thank you Sophia for sharing your living room details with us today. :)

It is so beautiful and serene! I just love it! It is so exciting thinking about your book coming along. I absolutely cannot WAIT for it to be published! You have been so sweet to let us all live vicariously through you. It feels a bit like it is ours too! I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing weekend.

These pictures make me want to redo my entire apartment in white. Knowing myself, this would be utter disaster. Let’s hope the feeling is fleeting!

Can you share the paint color on the wall where the shirt dress is hanging? It seems to pair perfect with white!
August 7th, 2010 at 12:29am
Oh, I LOVE this! I WANT this! I NEED this. :P
I just know Hubby won’t be sold on the white floors, but I sure am going to work on it! x

I like that this room has such a washed out look to it but in a very beautiful way. You have to really stop and notice all the details since they don’t pop out at you at once because of the use of white on white scheme. I also really like all the touches of nature from the butterfly on the wall to the dried flower set in a vase on the floor.
Have a relaxing weekend. I signed up for your class! Yay! Cannot wait.

This is so beautifully light and ethereal; I just love it, especially the sea green glass vase. But if I lived there, it would end up swamped with black shoes and dresses before I knew it!

these rooms are so bright. I like the way she plays with textures: the tried flowers-the quilling of the cushions which looks like an arrangment of fabric flowers-the relief of the word Photo-instead of real photos-all this whiteness brings out these different textures very well…one can spend a lot of time looking and discovering.
August 7th, 2010 at 11:30am
Wonderful pics, very poetic. Thanks for sharing :)
August 7th, 2010 at 1:26pm
This is so beautiful, very calming. Does anyone know where I might get a lamp like the beautiful white one she has in her livingroom? Thanks xx

I love everything but the dress on wall. Somehow it looks out of place, sort of an afterthought. In the bedroom maybe but certainly not the living room.
August 7th, 2010 at 7:32pm
i saw on one of the comments that you are writing a book?! That is great! Let us all know when its out!
What a wonderfull livingroom that of Sofia’s…love the grey on the wall and the white wooden floors.
dreaming on…

I just discovered your amazing blog. It is like taking a walk through “lovelyland”. The subtle color pallet is so relaxing, white is so soothing and serene. I am now a follower and look forward to many more lovely posts.

white spaces are my favorite. i sincerely hope that when i have a house i have at least a few white rooms.

I love white rooms and tried to make one once but I have a big black dog with lots of fur.

I think this is gorgeous but feels very staged, which I’m sure it was in a way for the photos. But if I walked in my first thoughts would be where do I hide my not-white purse and why is there a shirt hanging on the wall in the living room and one shoe in the hutch?

Beautiful and serene but would only be practical in a dream for me (and dreamy it certainly is)… Not sure about the top on the wall (my OH would think I lost it for real if I suggested that for my own home) but lots of other things that are truly lovely.

I love this! And am dying to know where the floor lamp comes from… I never thought I could like these oversized desk lamps.
August 9th, 2010 at 2:06pm
A lot of effort put into the design, but some splashes of colour, apart of pastels, would be nice.
August 9th, 2010 at 4:21pm
oh……my……..goodness! this is easily one of the more amazing interiors i’ve seen to date!

Oh. My. Goodness. I love this!! I was raised in a house w/ a mother that did almost everything in white (and would LABOR over what shade of white to paint something), so when I “grew up” I went nuts for color in every house I’ve ever rented or owned.
But this… this is white that I could do. Live with. Love in. Wow! Just wow!

Beautiful, but it’s really difficult appreciating the beauty of a space when the photos are so washed out and overexposed. Sometimes good old fashioned photos with full color do the most justice to a space.
August 10th, 2010 at 10:19am
Cate – I think that is just her photographic style but I agree, I’d love to see them a bit more natural as well because so much detail is lost. I think she is trying to give the illusion of living in a dream, a heavenly apartment – and that she definitely does!
August 10th, 2010 at 1:11pm
Wow, very inspiring. White interiors look so fresh and pure. Love it.

Hi there,
I love this room! My next project is our guest room and I’m really thinking all whites. Even with close to no colour in the room, you’ve managed to create a warm space.
Thank you
