The Art of Living with White

The White Company - The Art of Living with White - a year of inspiration by Chrissie Rucker

From the author of the home decorating bestseller, For the Love of White, comes an inspirational and informative guide to creating a welcoming home through the seasons using a white and neutral palette.

'Unsurprisingly for a book created by The White Company Founder Chrissie Rucker, this showcases 10 stylist interiors - divided into chapters named after the four seasons - each with a high concentration of white, be it on walls, furniture, textiles or accessories. What it demonstrates is that white need not be bland. Taking a close look at each composed and elegant case study, Chrissie points out the elements that make a room interesting, why a fabric or piece of furniture elevates a scheme, or how the simple addition of a table setting might render it the perfect serene and welcoming space to host a dinner party. The home rituals dispersed throughout provide useful tips on how to refresh your house as the seasons change.' Christabel Chubb, House & Garden
