Going neutral doesn't have to mean beige, and neutral also doesn't have to mean boring; white on white is a super sleek yet old-world look that gives a modern edge with classic vintage beauty. White walls, with white wooden floors may seem a bit sterile, but when the wooden floors are a bit distressed and the planks are casually separated, the clean white walls become less stiff and the white floors become more comfortable, creating a calm and somewhat whimsical feeling. A lot of people might say that white walls and floors must call for huge pops of color elsewhere in the room, but I would suggest toning down the dramatic color choices to a few very choice pieces, because the contrast may be too harsh. Keep the white tones consistent, but add color sporadically and in low doses. The overall feeling of a room with white walls and white (wooden) floors should feel like a reclaimed barn brought into the twenty-first century.
