White Done Right: Traditional Elegance

Room design by Phyllis Harbinger.

Mistakes to Avoid

• When working in the accessories, avoid anything in a bright, saturated hue, which can destroy the tone-on-tone elegant feel.
  
• Avoid yellowish toned wood furniture or flooring like oak. That’s an example of adding the wrong shade to a white palette, which clashes.
  
• Avoid patterns since they muddle a monochrome feel.
