This white flat is a marvel of delicate details and layered textures that enliven the pure white palette for a white home that’s inviting and full of visual interest. Modern furniture like the white sofa, chrome and white dining table, and clear Lucite chairs benefit from the contrast with intricate accent pieces that add warmth. An Old World chandelier adds a bit of glimmer, and softly shaded throw pillows soften the edges of the room.
A delightful surprise is the unique coffee table. Its clear top reveals pure white sand drifting over dainty little seashells for an organic touch that’s pure drama. Throws made of thick furs, linen curtains against smooth tiles in the bathroom, and ornate accessories like the brass candelabra and fabric draped bulletin board give dimension and textural interest and warmth to the room. It’s a lively, fresh take on white living that reflects the fun loving personalities of the owners.

The white washed stucco exterior of the Tumasi House in Ibiza, Spain seems to glow under the hot Spanish sun, providing a wonderful contrast to the cool, deep blue of the infinity pool. The house and surrounding patio are created out of a multitude of angles and planes, creating an architectural oasis that invites you to relax and unwind.
The Spanish interior design features an open floor plan that flows naturally from living area to kitchen and out to the patio, creating a spacious, cool haven. The windows and patio doors are generously framed in aluminum for a sparkling, modern touch that coordinates with the commercial grade stainless steel appliances and adds to the perception of coolness. Classic pieces like the calfskin rug, black sectional sofa and Verner Panton dining chairs pull everything together.
We fell for this Swedish white apartment for several reasons, but what captured our imagination the most was the inherent ease with which it seems to come together. Though carefully crafted, this modern apartment seems to have effortlessly evolved as the owners added personal pieces to the predominantly white space, creating a space that reflects everything desirable in budget design.
White walls are a clean background for unusual touches throughout the home. A charming balance between old and new can be seen everywhere. The heavily carved, antique Victorian sofa’s velvet, tufted upholsters contrasts sharply with the modern, white coffee table, and sleek white kitchen cabinets sparkle beneath the light of a vintage crystal chandelier.
Warmth and personality are found in worn wood floors, stacks of books, and a collection of vintage frames that are art in their own right. A very well designed White Apartment on a budget.

Romolo Stanco’s Hi Fi Modern House is small in size but is an incredible example of the power of a white interior in home design. The second floor bedroom is a box suspended over the larger main floor and reachable only by a set of stairs that seem to hover along the wall like a child’s zig-zag drawing. The white walls, ceiling and floors give you the sensation of relaxing in a wash of light.
Each piece of furniture in this modern house becomes a crucial design element in the cocoon of white. The bold red sofa, pink retro refrigerator and other pieces are like bold splashes of pure pigment on a white canvas. We love the slender, leggy, chocolate brown bathroom sink. The Verner Panton dining room chairs are strong enough to hold their own in white because their iconic shape is such a powerful statement they don’t need any color.
Each room in this minimalist’s dream has a punch of color that highlights the beauty of white without overpowering it.
