Add Architecture to your Walls
White, crisp walls are certainly appealing. But I must admit, I find that the look is much more suited to magazines than to real life.
The solution? Add some architecture to your walls, so that there is texture to create interest on a vast white surface. Crown moulding, elaborate moulding, paneling, or even DIY paneling: all of these are excellent solutions for adding rich texture to the gorgeous simplicity of a white wall.
You can have your white wall and love it too!
Check out the collection of images below for some BEAUTIFUL ways to add architectural texture to your walls:

This concept was the approach I used for my grand, bare white wall in our brand new library. And while the images are less sophisticated than the ones above {mostly because of my photography weaknesses!}, I can assure you that this room is beautiful, and that the bare white wall is very interesting architecturally. No big, vast white expanse in there!
I also used this concept in my nursery, and it added SUCH dreaminess to the room. Every time I see the rich crown moulding and the picture frame moulding, I think of a Paris apartment. Perfect for a girly glamorous nursery.
Which one of these walls would you ditto??
What added architecture would be gorgeous in your home?

Gorgeous photos!! I love moldings for just the same reason, oh Paris, take me back!! It’s elevates a room into luxury!! I would love to add some to my home, maybe in my master bedroom and the living and dining room. My mitiring skills might not be up to the task!
I will admit that mill work helps a room look more sophisticated but it can be very costly to do. It however looks great.
If you are going to have plain white walls, definitely spice it up with some of the beautiful architecture that you have shown us. Looks so much more appealing!
This is phenomenal work with turning white walls into something magnificent and classy. These pictures are perfect examples of how you can take ordinary white walls and add another dimension–consequently, more energy radiating from the once-drab walls.
