The holidays are over, routines are settling into the short days of winter, and the jewel tones of autumn are long gone. A palette of white is especially inviting this time of year, especially when it comes to bed linens.
January is the perfect time of year for new bedding, for you and for little people in your life.
Sleep dreams!

Snowfall during winter dusts everything in white. It's cold and we long for the sunshine and colors of spring. Come summer, we long to be surrounded in the coolness of all things white. Rooms decorated with taupe and white offer a perfect combination that is neutral, one that is both cool and warm. And this soothing palette is ready for just about any accent color, one that can be changed as the seasons turn.

Inviting, isn't it?

In the winter season especially, it is the absence of color that is most soothing. Tonal grays take on different hues - blues, lavenders, and greens. And sometimes tonal grays appear just as they were intended to be, a calming neautral.
Accents of charcoal or mahogony ground rooms that billow in shades of pastel shades of gray. Silvertones and whites are the ultimate compliment.
In the quiet of winter, being surrounded by shades of gray invites rest that will rejuvinate us in time for spring.
