How to decorate with winter white

Nothing is as classy as an elegant mix of black and white in the home. However, homeowners tend to stay away from this palette because they don't exactly know how to make it work, or are afraid that pure white may be likely to show stains. If you're stuck in a design rut and are looking for ways to incorporate winter white into your room, take a look at some helpful tips below:

Find the right shade: "Decorating with winter white means getting the white right. It's not a pure white; it's not a bright white – reserve those colors for summer decorating, reports Yahoo Shine. "Winter white is all about creating a soft white palette by using off-white hues or ivory colors." If you need help finding the right shade, there's nothing wrong with asking for outside help. After all, that's what the professionals are here for!

Start small: You don't necessarily have to bring an all-white sofa into your living room to achieve this modern look. Starting with winter white home accessories, including throw pillows and even custom curtains and drapes, will do the trick. If you're curious about the hue, now is the time to test it out in your Milwaukee home. Many Christmas decorations, including garland and candles, are made in winter white. Take baby steps before you commit to an entire design scheme.
