I have totally fallen in love with white for my home. This may not seem that odd, but as a designer who specialises in colour and whom shares a home with a husband, 3 boys and & big brown dog, white was not really on the agenda.

In saying that my house is very neutral, but their is a huge difference between neutral and white. My new mantra for bringing in more white furniture and furnishings is..
If it can be washed or wiped then it can be white.
Having a stylish liveable space means exactly that…livable. I need for my family to be able to sit on white lounges and to be able to wash white curtains that will get little fingerprints on them.

I have featured quite a few images here from the lovely Dreamy Whites blog because Maria has the most stunning “white” interior, has 5 children and the house is on a ranch. So this is fabulous example that you can have white in a family home. In fact I would say it may even been easier because you can launder it.

So far the white that I have introduced has actually made the space look, to my surprise, cleaner. Even with the usual mess that creeps into our family room, it still looks cleaner with a white sofa.
I have a list here of my top ten white paint colours, but my favourite is Natural White by Dulux. It is soft but without losing its whiteness {not too creamy} and is a really great backdrop for a white room, hallway etc.
