Saturday Special: The Ballard Design 2011 Look Book

I recently received the 2011 Look Book from Ballard Designs and was blown away by the fresh, clean, sophisticated look of their designs.  The pieces they offer are designer quality at an affordable and attainable cost.  As an Interior Designer, I am thankful enough to be apart of their Designer Program and get a sneak peak at what's to come!  

Here is the direction they are envisioning for 2011....

White rooms seem to glow.  When you layer in white's endless shades and textures, the look becomes sophisticated and simple, all in the same satisfying breath.  And as the light changes so does the color of your room, moving from crisp and bright to soft and light.  In 2011, look for materials of white twill, white-washed woods and bamboo, white glazed ceramic accents and plenty of white accessories to help freshen up and enhance any decor. - Ballard Designs

Do you enjoy the freshness of white colors?  Or do you prefer darker tones?

How do you incorporate white hues into your decor?
