Sheila with Mark Anderson in his all-white Harlem bedroom

• Apple green and sky blue make good accent colors for white.
  
• For a country white, use an ivory and beige palette.
  
• Furnish with flea-market finds or painted furniture. Add ironstone, glass and silver.
  
• Swedish white is the most classic of all whites--get the look with pine furniture painted in shades of gray and white, and Gustavian antiques.
  
• Quilted leather, faux fur and stainless steel give white decor a contemporary edge.
