Using Color in White Bedrooms

A white bedroom color scheme doesn't have to mean all-white everything. Start with a base of white walls and bedding, then introduce color through a handful of accent pieces throughout the space. A couple of bright throw pillows or a patterned area rug can help break up the white without overpowering the space.

Use a large piece of artwork to inspire the accent colors in a white bedroom.

Emphasize contrasts to prevent an all-white decorating scheme from looking washed out and boring. A shiplap wall treatment envelops this bedroom with texture and cottage-inspired style, while contrasting with the sleek banks of windows that surround the room. Wispy blue draperies and blue stripes on the bedding provide another layer of texture and a subtle splash of color. The shift from white to blue is subtle, but it's enough to draw attention. Espresso-stained floors contrast the layers of white but continue the traditional cottage style found elsewhere in the room.

Not all white bedroom ideas lack pattern or color. Here, throw pillows with various patterns pile onto the bed to add visual interest and contrast. Accents including a blue nightstand, lamp base, and bolster pillow bolster the blue and white bedroom scheme. Starting with a canvas of white walls makes it easy to switch out accessories as tastes or seasons change.
All-White Bedroom

A monochromatic white color palette can be tricky, but a few smart design tricks can help you make it work. For starters, keep the dominant portions of your room the same shade. White walls emphasize the height of this master bedroom, and white bedroom curtains and bedding create continuous planes of white. Then use shades of gray to add depth. The patterned throw pillows incorporate soft gray hues, which help break up the potentially stark look of the white walls, furniture, and bedding. Reflective accessories, such as the mirror above the bed and the mirrored nightstand, also break up the white without disturbing the monochromatic palette.

Chocolate-brown paint stands out against this bedroom's white wall paneling and flooring. With white bedroom furniture, including a vintage bed frame and vanity chair, the space would have looked cold and uninviting without the warm brown accent.
