Living Etc - The homes magazine for modern living
Living Etc May 2012 features "Decorating with Shades of White" a smart, stylish colour scheme that epitomises glamour.
The article features 4 wonderful ways to decorate your home with white including Oriental, Dramatic, Rustic and Glam.
Eastern, oriental style decorating features intricate wallpapers with subtle hints of rich colours including red cushions and throws and black paper lanterns in different sizes hung at varying heights in the corner of the living room.
Let the drama of white stand out by placing sculptural silhouettes against a bold, solid coloured background.
Warm whites, textured fabrics and minimalist furniture create a rustic look in any room.
Glam decoration requires high quality, luxurious textures, patterns and furniture. Replace black with softer shades of grey which looks brighter and lighter.
To recreate the Eastern look in your room or home use a mixture of black paper lanterns ranging from 8" in diameter to 20" and clear fishing line to suspend the paper lanterns from your ceiling to give the illusion of floating black spots in the room whilst bringing accents of Asia to your decorative scheme.
