Mirrors reflect light, making a neutral room feel light and airy.
Decorating a bedroom with white furniture gives you flexibility when it comes to choosing wall and accent colors. A good pairing for a small space, white reflects light while providing a crisp canvas for colorful walls or accessories, and allowing eclectic vintage pieces to stand out. Exposed ceiling beams, brick and wood floors are accentuated by white furniture. Whether you choose bold patterns or a specific style for your bedroom, white furniture will unify your vision and adapt to any changes you make in the future.
Instructions
1. Decide if you prefer a pattern or solid color on your walls. With white furniture, you can go with neutral gray or beige walls, or energize the room with sapphire or pale yellow. If you choose bold-patterned wallpaper, balance the room with solid or small-patterned accessories.
2. Purchase a large oval mirror that will fit above your white vanity or bureau. Position the mirror to reflect the room's natural light. You can also hang multiple mirrors of different sizes and shapes on a separate wall to make the room feel more spacious.
3. Hang framed photographs of family or favorite landscapes on one wall. Choose large and small frames in different shapes. Photographs and art stand out in a room with white furniture and solid colors.
4. Add warmth and texture to wood floors with a luxurious rug. Consider a patterned rug if your walls and bedding are solid colors or a solid rug to ground bold patterns on your walls or bedding.
5. Layer your bed with blankets, soft sheets and pillows. If your walls are a neutral color, go for a quilted blanket in a vibrant color and pattern to make your bed the focal point of the room. Pair patterned throw pillows with solid bedding.
6. Hang curtains or bamboo blinds. A delicate floral pattern on a white curtain adds a hint of romance, while the natural color of bamboo introduces warmth and earthiness.
7. Select a few antiques for contrast. Bronze lamps, a ceramic vase and pewter candlesticks stand out on white furniture, adding thoughtful elegance to the bedroom.
8. Line a bare surface area with small plants or an unused corner with a leafy tree. Plants thrive in light, making your bedroom feel like a healthy, restful space.
