The stark contrast of black and white really works in this modern interior by Suzanna Vento. She’s chosen each piece of furniture and accessory carefully, with an eye toward harmony and minimal design. A bold, vaguely botanical graphic in the dining room is repeated in the kitchen backsplash, tying the rooms together without being too obvious.

The predominantly white interior looks spacious with just the right amount of black for depth and interest in this modern house. The flat black wall is an unexpected and dynamic accent. We notice that the black stops a few feet below the ceiling, keeping the dark shade from overwhelming the room.

Small doses of grey and green add punch and keep the rooms of this white house from being too sterile.

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.

This is just the most interesting project by Jean-Pascal Flavien. He created a house that purposely creates problems for it’s inhabitants! The experiment is creatively titled the No Drama House.

The white house emerges by way of it’s layout as a series of successive problems. The problems interfere with the possibility of living comfortably and of things running smooth. The house is designed in an awkward fashion where you have to enter it by positioning a ladder and climbing through a small back opening. The narrow construction and distant location of the power outlets constantly makes you problem solve and figure things out. The original white art models offer several other architectural possibilities.

It’s a very thought provoking and interesting concept but I wouldn’t personally volunteer to live in the No Drama House! What’s your take on the concept?

The location and design of this Beach House is Breathtaking! This stunning white house boasts the Pacific Ocean to the south, a gorgeous courtyard to the west, and the Pacific Coast Highway to the north.

There’s a perfect harmony between the straight ‘boxed’ and organic designs of this modern house. The architecture is very interesting and fully loaded with detail. The bright white interior offers a grand space for dining and entertaining, where residents and guests are surrounded by floor to ceiling windows and a collection of rooftop skylights.

I really like how the courtyard provides a visual and spacial link to the entry, the highway and the ocean beyond. Plus the white modern interior complements the house perfectly. What a truly magnificent dream home!

This is such an interesting two-storey home located in Himeji Hyougo Japan. The livable space is compact, crisp and very fresh. Every room placement has been cleverly thought out to deliver ample natural lighting and modern functional living.

Tonoma did a wonderful job with the use of white and wood which is always a winning combo. The intersecting parts give the white Usuki house a personality of its own. I can just imagine how the interior would look with the right furnishings and accessories.

The white house really stands out from a distance which makes it that much more special. You also gotta love the interesting contrast between old and new architecture.

Maison 51 is located in France’s popular wine country – Bordeaux. The modern home offers a simple boxy white construction all around. The black metal balconies alongside the front black framed windows add some contrasting charm. The modern white house is designed in the shape of a ‘U’ surrounding a petit middle courtyard with large fenestrations providing ample natural light and ventilation to all adjacent rooms. A quaint 1400 sq.ft. minimal home with great design and functionality.

This unique home is an all white on white, with extremely wonderful rustic touches everywhere you turn. There truly is nothing more I enjoy most about white than seeing it dance and play with wood.

Though not necessarily suited for everyone’s taste, the design palette is intentionally muted without any noticeable punches of bright color, and it works. From floor to ceiling – White is Queen! The interior spaces of this rustic house are brimming with traditional character and original personality.

The spaces are huge and the kitchen-dining combo really shines. Oh, and the attic is superb thanks to the triangular shape and visually captivating brick pattern.

Very interesting white rustic house! Thanks Sally for sharing! :)

There’s nothing like the images of a beautiful White Summer House to give us an inspirational break from winter! This white home from Dom Arquitectura celebrates and flows with the outdoors thanks to its many large windows. The white architecture is crisp and clean! We love the superb lighting and enjoy the wood used on the outdoor deck that surrounds the pool.

I love seeing a livable white house, where children and daily living functions are combined harmoniously in a white space. The house fits perfectly in the ‘wintery’ setting. The use of wood and color complement the Horizontal Space House in Italy. Love the shot of those vegetables peering onto the mountains, perfect.

Beautiful architecture. The Y House is a statement of the landscape celebrating it from the inside out. This stunning white house is designed in the shape of a “Y” bordered by several windows allowing dwellers to admire their surroundings.
