Make an entrance stand out with large, oversized trim on the baseboards, door and window frames to really add light and space to your foyer. Want an extra boost of design? Add a bone-coloured area rug for some extra pizazz.

Invest in a White or Cream-Coloured Sectional or Sofa

Furniture is an investment, so you want to make sure you select pieces that will stand up to the test of time. White and cream coloured pieces help to make a space feel large and open, but they’re also completely versatile when you do want to add small pops of colour via toss cushions or blankets.

Add a White Table Runner

An oversized table runner is less cluttered looking than individual placemats and it adds an instant country classic look to your dining room. Whites and creams not only keep the look neutral so you can decorate your table year-round, but they work with any kind of wood surface, too.

Add White Finishes to The Kitchen

White cabinetry, or pops of it in the backsplash and on the countertop, help to make the kitchen bright and open. You can add in complementary colours through accents or a stand-out island with cupboards in a different shade.

Add a White or Cream-Coloured Headboard

Nothing makes a master bedroom stand out more than a statement headboard. Opt for a lighter coloured piece that’s thin but definitive; it adds instant design appeal and lets you play around with coloured textiles on the bed itself.

Add a Vintage Vanity to the Bathroom

At one point this vanity may have been stained, but by painting it a brilliant shade of white the piece feels updated and fresh. Now, it pops against the pretty blue of the wall, and feels right at home on the oversized white tiling below.
