The New York Times has been publishing lots of neutral spaces lately and this home's interior, painted in Flemish grays and whites, fits right in. British knitwear designer (and expert furniture scavenger) Justine Glanfield and her husband, photographer Vincent Fournier ,turned a former commercial townhouse in Brussels, Belgium into a family home that would fit right into the pages of Living Etc....








Again the white... I love it.

I cannot imagine a world without color. Especially in winter, and especially with kids. I would feel really depressed in this space. Since it's a rowhouse, there can't be that much natural light in some of the rooms.
The photos are pretty, and the owners have good taste, but still.

Actually I think the white is a good choice... it reflects what light there is. It's pretty standard in Scandanavian decorating.

love, love, LOVE Belgian design!!
I didn't use to love such all-white interiors, I would have found this too stark, but a trip to Denmark has changed my mind (although I still associate Belgium more with greys)...
People and life provide the colour, instead of things...
In a place where the rays of the sun are weak for much of the year, white interiors really help bounce around and magnify those precious rays

Love it! Belgian design is so wonderfully simple, never overdone or too designed, just looks easy and natural yet very stylish.

Guess I need a trip to Belgium, just so I can be convinced. :)

ok, so this isn't your taste but there's no convincing needed. different people have different styles and different needs.
these people obviously love their space and that's all that matters

I love this house! I love Belgian interior design! And count me in the Neutral Fan Zone!
This is hardly an all-white house - there's plenty of greys and blues. Besides, white walls make the inhabitants and the contents, uh, "pop" more.
I shall grit my teeth through "Colour Month", not because I don't love colour, but because I burn out on it quickly. I don't use much colour when I decorate because I get sick of it, and am not rich enough in money or time to be selling off stuff and starting from scratch again every year or two.

white never looked better. (though the gorgeous architectural bones help a lot too).
