"    &amp;quot;People never tire of a pale palette, because it works within any style,&amp;quot; says Hilde Leiaghat, shown here in front of her shop, Pom Pom, which recently moved to the heart of Hollywood.     Pom Pom has a tendency to elicit breathy sighs from its customers. Glinting crystals dance from chandeliers, whitewashed European furnishings mingle with gentle hues of blues and golds, and, always, there&amp;#039;s the evocative scent of the shop&amp;#039;s signature gardenia candles. &amp;quot;At a glance, the look is Swedish,&amp;quot; says owner Hilde Leiaghat. &amp;quot;But the pale palette means everything here goes with something you have at home.&amp;quot;Lighten up When furnishing your own home, start with cream or white slipcovers. Instantly, you&amp;#039;ll have a big, muted backdrop. Add floral bolsters, a bowl filled with seashells, or an ornate mirror, and off you go. Before long, you&amp;#039;ll be an expert at it. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve always been drawn to the worn appearance of antiques,&amp;quot; reflects Cheryl Grubb, owner of Patina Antiques, a charming shop where everything honors the passage of time. &amp;quot;To me, bits of rust on garden sculpture are very beautiful. And old doors or fireplace mantels, even if the paint is chipped, look wonderful leaning up against a wall.&amp;quot; The shop features aged pieces in shades of cream, white, and gray. Says Cheryl, &amp;quot;I call my look &amp;#039;dressy European country.&amp;#039;&amp;quot; Airy and sophisticated, this boutique in the Outremont area of Montreal was born of owner Rollande Vachon&amp;#039;s desire to inspire. &amp;quot;I wanted customers to leave with more than a beautiful table or rug. I wanted them to leave with ideas.&amp;quot; The shop is separated into &amp;quot;rooms,&amp;quot; each one devoted to dining, bath, bedroom, or kitchen needs. &amp;quot;I am a big proponent of using white and light colors to emphasize darker objects,&amp;quot; says Rollande. &amp;quot;It works magic.&amp;quot; For the table  Bagley Home in Sag Harbor, N.Y., carries hand-thrown white dishware by Mud Australia, pale antique serving pieces, and antique French silverware.
