Eight snowy all-white interiors that celebrate a singular hue
With Christmas fast approaching, our latest lookbook rounds up eight residential interiors from around the world dressed in dazzling white.
From an igloo-shaped Barcelona bedroom with furry walls to a Californian home characterised by billowing, cloud-shaped walls, these projects highlight the versatility of white – a colour too often associated with blandness in interior design.
This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen's archive. For more inspiration, see previous lookbooks featuring gold kitchens, gridded ceilings and light-filled cottages.
