Ivory is pure light — clear, soft, elegant. An ivory poster brightens an interior and brings a sense of space and refinement. The ideal color for lovers of luminous minimalism. Discover our selection of light tones.

Ivory or white? Pure white is a difficult color in decorating: it hardens outlines, reveals the slightest flaw in the wall and turns bluish under artificial light. Ivory and cream contain a hint of yellow that keeps them warm at any hour. It is the shade of lime plaster, unbleached linen and limestone — the very materials of Mediterranean architecture.

These very light tones are the most effective at making a room look bigger. In a small space, an attic bedroom or a narrow hallway, an ivory poster pushes the wall back instead of bringing it forward. The solid oak frame adds exactly the right contrast, without breaking the softness of the whole.
