     There are times when white accessories are just what your room needs.  Here are 3 reasons why you should accessorize with white.
  1. White accessories lighten the heaviness of rooms that have a lot of wood.
  2. White photographs will pop on dark walls and also make the walls more dramatic.
  3. Using white on white is a clean fresh look that works well in most homes.
     Don't be afraid of white accessories in your decor.  When using white photographs, such as the featured image this week, use frames and matting to make the white even more dramatic and elegant.

Surrounded by white

     We are surrounded by white walls.  Does your home have white walls?  If your living room has white walls click the 'like' button below this post as an informal survey.  Or shout out the color of your walls in the comments.  I think the results will be interesting.

     More often than not when we move into a home the walls are white.  Most of us don't do much to change that especially if we are living in an apartment.  White has become easy and comfortable.

     So what do you do if you like your white walls, but your art work is also white?  You can choose matting and frames to make the photos stand out from the walls.  However you want to be careful that the matting or the frame doesn't diminish the photograph.  After all it is the photograph that you want to stand out and be noticed.

     Using the photograph above I created two examples of frames and matting that enhance the photo instead of overpowering it.  A perfect way to showcase your white photos are white walls.
