Our favourite white spaces: homes enveloped in white

By: Jessica Alcock - Mary Delong

While we love kitchens with vibrant cabinetry and living rooms with look-at-me walls, we'll always appreciate the timelessness of all-white living quarters. Whether you start with white walls and add subtle pops of colour or go for a monochromatic, white-on-white design, an all-white space can make your home feel bigger, brighter and cleaner. Here, our favourite rooms rocking the mostly-white look.

A blank palette allows the wooden shutters and slate fireplace in this living room to shine.

Hits of greenery, black grouting in the backsplash and the butcher-block countertop on the island add a touch of contrast in this modern kitchen.

With pops of berry hues and plenty of gold accents, this white-on-white home is anything but boring.

This Vancouver home’s monochromatic design makes the space feel airy and bright.

An all-white colour palette is blended expertly with plenty of textural elements in this living space for a design that feels both casual and modern.

White mingles well with grey in this stunning Vancouver abode.

In this kitchen, white, Shaker-style cabinetry and floor-to-ceiling tiles contrast with the warm walnut island and brass detailing.

In this heritage home, cream-coloured sofas and white-washed walls keep the space bright and neutral.

Neutral rooms don’t have to be boring. This formal living room’s white and grey palette is jazzed up with layers: linen fabrics, a wool rug and toss cushions in mohair, faux fur and hide.

This light, white and airy dining room is a favourite space in this house —especially in the summer. To maximize brightness, the parquet floors and beadboard walls were painted white.
