DREAM APARTMENT: White walls that work!

Being at Las Vegas Market is incredibly exciting, I am spotting so many goodies that I want for my future new apartment. Interestingly enough I have a serious love affair with neutrals right now. Maybe its because its summertime or just a little bit of me growing up a bit. Whatever the reason, I'm noticing lately how some spaces with white walls can be just as glamorous a deep colored ones.
This fabulous room is by Sally Wheat and is a perfect example of how I want my new apartment to look. The lines of the sofa and club chairs are so glam and perfect especially when paired with white walls + hints of gold and lavender...

It's really very summery to pair pastel accessories with white walls. So, in effort to keep it more city like and appropriate for fall, I could add traditional pieces with classic lines and extravagant details. 
Heavy fabrics also add a little something sophisticated too. 
Not too sure that lavender would be my dream accent color but the look of these apartments just make me swoon. Below, this look is a little more city glamour and less french. Mirrored coffee table, vintage chairs, beautiful screen, pop of zebra. I just love the living room layout.

Now, I must not forget when imagining my dream apartment two things are essential...
excessive moldings and herringbone floors. It makes white walls that much more perfect, am I right?

That last photograph is without a doubt got to be a European apartment. Most likely a French one, right? Ahhh, the French abode. You're absolutely right. I feel like growing up has made me adore white as the primary home color. It allows for a blank canvas with which to play more with. I do love a good, fun colored, painted wall, but white will never be a bad decision. Sleek and totally sophisticated.

I have always been into all white walls. Nothing like a bright and airy space! That first room is great. Love the sofa in the center and that coffee table is amazing.

I'm totally agree with Votre Amie, but instead of Paris, I would say a Barcelona Apartment! (European anyway ;) )

White space + Bright light day = PERFECTION!

This is exactly what I talked about in my blog today! How white walls will demand your attention when you throw in a pop of color,when there is too much going on you just don't know where to look. I am all for white walls bit the bullet 4 years ago to do it and have never looked back!
