See how black, brown and white don't have to be boring

Almond walls make this office designed by Ammie Kim look spacious while other white-shaded hues add some punch in the painting and accessories.
Think Wide-Open Spaces with White
Did you know that using white shades gives you analytical powers and the objectivity to solve problems? Maybe that’s why so many offices are white. But the non-color also makes any space look bigger (another reason so many offices are white!).
ALMOND:mostly white with yellow
BEIGE:mostly white with brown
TAUPE:mostly white with brown and black
WHITE:white only
But don’t just consign the white, beige and cream family to the work zone. When you combine the whites with the cheery colors on the white-shaded palette, you’ll create a space that makes you feel cooler, less confined, and infused with an uplifting, new freedom. Think of an inviting child’s room or a spring green kitchen.
