the key to mixing cream and white in decor and fashion...

I love neutrals, and the sophisticated, stylish look of cream and white paired together.
 If you think it's a bit mysterious how some people can pull off the chic look you'll be
 surprised at how simple it is. It works in decor, accessories, and fashion.
Check out these inspiration pics and I'll bet you have it figured out before you get to the end!

Thank you Professor Pam! I've been wondering about this since I've been bringing home both white and cream I needed this lesson. Beautiful images.

I've been wearing white and cream since college. It's such a chic look that I've always loved!

Luci @Bungalow At Home said...

Yep, so true and adding different metals and textures really helps pull it together as well!

I adore this combo, it really works in any room. It's the layers that make it work, right? Love it. Have a great day.

Oh, I'm going to be doing a bit of that in my master bedroom. Glad to see so many examples of how it works, and get a little outfit inspiration too!

I absolutely love this idea. I have been so nervous to do a white and cream room for fear of it getting dirty so quickly, but I really to get over that and just do it. xx

I have to admit I had no idea what made it work. Now, I see the light!

Lisa @ Shine Your Light said...

I love how you think about color combinations! Yes, the bright white is what gives it that crisp clean fresh look, love it!

Pam you are so right, the shades of cream/ivory, wicker/ etc paired with bright white are stunning! Also you've shown great examples!

That first bedroom is perfection!

SHERRY HART said...

It used to be all white or all cream....I love that the rule is no more!!

Thank you, I was quite afraid of it actually.
My lounge furniture is all cream including the cream fabric sofa and I planned to paint my old brown brick wall light cream. It all started when the light cream paint on the brick wall looked so white instead of cream!? I was panicking but I think I might give it a go, thanks to your advice ;)
