As soon as you move into your new home, painting the walls from white to some out-of-the-box color becomes a top priority. And, then, you wait to get inspired. We have all seen the design shows that tell us how boring white is, but we’re here to show you that it doesn’t have to be. In fact, it can be downright inspirational.

Truth be told, we love a dramatic master bedroom. The four post bed, the chevron rug and the highlight—a painted black canopy and circular wooden art piece, takes boring white to another dimension.

A green Italian sofa from the 1940s is just the right pop of color to bring these white walls to life. With strong, black accents like the mirrored French cabinet and Maison Jensen Lamps (from the 1970s), it’s just the right amount of chic for this living space.
