8 Stylish white bedroom ideas to make your space pop
Looking to spruce up your space with a room-brightening look that brings all the chic, cosy vibes along with it? Well, then you’ve come to the right place.
A white bedroom not only creates a spacious feel, but it’s also timelessly stylish to boot! And the good news is that it’s super easy to bring into the home as well. Put away those chunky interior design books, as we’ve got the lowdown for you, right here.
So, without further ado, here are our eight stylish white bedroom ideas to make your space feel fresh.
1. Choose your colour scheme
When it comes to decorating your home, the best place to start is always with the colour scheme, as this will help you pick out matching pieces later on.
Of course, you can always go for a completely all white bedroom, but there’s nothing stopping you from getting a bit creative with accompanying hues. For example, one modern white bedroom idea is to have a black feature wall. Paint all your walls white but go with a contrasting black shade on the wall behind your bed – talk about monochromatic magic!
For a more subtle vibe, you could always opt for a beige and white bedroom. Just grab a sandy beige paint for the walls, then stick to crisp white for your skirting boards and the ceiling! Not only does this create cosy vibes, particularly in rooms that are on the smaller side, but it also softens the look of your white bedroom.
2. Add a stylish bed
Walls sorted, the next step is to pick out the perfect bed for your white bedroom. The choice is up to you, but we’ve got a few thoughts to make it easier.
For example, an oak bedframe is the easiest way to bring a rustic, soothing touch to your bedroom. Go for one with a tall, grand headboard to really make your bed stand out, or opt for a more quaint take with a smaller headboard – both are cosy, but with their own unique style.
You could also go for a maximalist motif with a contrasting hue for your bed! Think pink for a Barbie chic, sage green for a touch of the outdoors, or a deep blue for a relaxing ocean chic.
3. Dress your bed
Bed chosen, we’ve now got a few white room ideas that’ll bring a touch of homely touch to your bedspread.
Naturally, a comfy bed set is essential for any bedroom, but the fun comes in when you take a look at style tips for your bed. We’re talking about scatter cushions! A few of these delicately displayed on your bed really brings the character to your space.
For a pared-back style, go for block colours that match your headboard, or throw caution to the wind and pick up some printed cushions! Floral prints are an elegant choice here, but geometric shapes bring a contemporary chic to your white bedroom ideas.
4. Create a wall of art
Looking for some eye-catching grey and white bedroom ideas? Well, we’ve got just the trick – a feature wall of greyscale photos!
Choose some of your favourite family and friend photos - pics from weddings, birthdays, or holidays are some lovely options, but decorative art pieces work just as well too. Pop on a greyscale filter, before printing them off, and framing them in grey or white frames.
Then, pick out a wall space you’d like your photos to sit - we recommend somewhere that proudly displays them for all to see! And now you’ve got your own personal white bedroom gallery. Perfection.
5. Bring in a touch of greenery
Plants and flora don’t have to be reserved for a blissfully biophilic decor, they work wonders when used in a white bedroom as well!
So, why not treat yourself to some fresh roses, sunflowers, or lilies? Whatever flower brings a smile to your face, simply pop them in a vase and set them where they’ll be seen.
Or for something more low-maintenance, go for easy-to-care-for plants like cacti, snake plants, or money trees. Don’t worry, these are just as lovely to look at but don’t need replacing as often as flowers!
6. Pick up a bedside table
Now let’s take a look at some handy furniture for your white bedroom space - after all, your bedroom needs to be as practical as it is stylish.
For instance, a bedside table is a convenient space to keep your latest bookshop find when you start to drift off. If you’re working with a smaller space, then you can even use your bedside table to keep things like chargers, pyjamas, or folded up t-shirts. And to stick to that white motif, you can grab a white bedside table!
A bedside table featuring gold accents also pairs beautifully with a white bedroom décor to create a maximalist motif, while an all-black style brings a modern, stark, and bold contrast.
7. Choose cosy lighting
No bedroom décor guide would be complete without looking at how we can make your space as cosy as possible. And lighting is one easy way to bring comfort to a white bedroom!
Of course, you’ll have your big light, but we think a couple smaller table lamps are much more soothing. Pop one or two of these around your room and let their gentle glow bring light to your space instead.
You could even go for a sunlight lamp if you want to get extra cosy. Stick one of these on your bedside table and watch as your wall is bathed in the beautiful warmth of a morning sunrise – what could be cosier than that?
8. Finish with a rug
Last but not least, we’ve got rugs! Not only do these add a pop of colour to your white bedroom, but they bring a homely, laid back touch as well.
For a white and cream bedroom that transforms your space into a cosy countryside cottage, go for a shaggy cream rug placed at the end of your bed. Or for a style that really makes a statement, why not pick up a fluffy, grey rug? After all, a splash of chic contrast never did anyone any harm.
