Decorating with White

Fancy a beautiful, clean, fresh and airy feel to your interior design? Make a dramatic impact with the simplicity of an all-white scheme.White is an easy color to pick, when you just want a bright, neutral color, as a backdrop to a room. Using white as a positive, conscious decision for your interior design ideas is a very bold step. A completely white room makes a very dramatic statement in any home.

It can often be a good idea to mix in some other colors too – an accent wall, or some accessories – as these too will make the white easier to live with, and will help to make a very bold statement in the room. White may, at first, seem like the simple choice, but there is lots to think about, to make sure that your interior design ideas work well. The results will certainly be worth it, though! You can achieve a very dramatic and stunning effect, in any style of your choice.

Style Setter: Opera Gloves

Traditionally, opera gloves should not be put on in public, but should be donned in the privacy of one's home before going out.

The basic rule as to length of gloves may be defined as follows: the shorter the sleeve, the longer the glove. Opera gloves are, therefore, properly worn with sleeveless or short-sleeved dresses or strapless, sleeveless (with straps) or short-sleeved evening gowns.

White and its various shades, including ivory, beige and taupe, are the traditional colors for opera gloves and are appropriate for virtually any occasion on which opera gloves are worn.

Black opera gloves should not be worn with white or light-colored dresses or gowns, but can be worn with black, dark-colored or bright-colored clothing.

Opera gloves of other colors generally should be worn only in coordination with the color scheme of the dress or gown you are wearing.
