RENOVATION INSPIRATION: white is alrighty then

Why is white such a decorating star? Wildly colourful rooms are great for a thrill, but when it comes to every day living, white is the Cate Blanchett to the Lindsay Lohan. It's so changeable, update-able and authentic. And Wondrous White gets bonus points for making rooms appear larger, reflecting more natural light and keeping the need for energy-hungry artificial lighting down. These pics are of India Hicks' oh-so-swish home in the Bahamas, which she regularly has photographed to make you buy her books/products/design goodies. Tis nice, hey?
