One of the freshest trends that we have been seeing everywhere, from Pinterest to magazines to home design television shows, is an emphasis on white rooms. White walls have always been a classic staple to grounding a room, but this trend makes white the star rather than the supporting character. All-white home decor may sound a little daunting, but it makes the room surprisingly cozy while maintaining the classy feel.

Bring a little of this trend into your home by incorporating more white elements into your space and bringing attention to them, rather than letting them fade into the background.

White Washed Walls

A great place to start is looking to your walls. It is easy to refresh your space with a coat of white paint. Even if your walls are white (or at least started as white all those years ago), it may be a good idea to put on a fresh coat; fading and discoloration can be solved in the span of an afternoon and can help you bring back that clean look.

If you’re looking to go a little farther, shiplap is a huge contributor to the all-white home decor trend. Get your farmhouse on by installing this rustic wall covering (also, check out our previous blog on farmhouse design). Using shiplap as an accent wall instead of covering a whole room can work wonders without becoming overwhelmed.

Now We’re Cooking

It’s the return of the bright kitchen! Gone are the days of dark woods and Tuscany style—at least with this home trend. White kitchens have arrived and have brought in airy and light aesthetics with them. An easy DIY that many are looking to is painting kitchen cabinets white to refresh without a renovation. If that sounds like a lot of work for you or you just love your cabinets, look a little further out to your dining area. White dining tables and dining sets allow you to capture that airy feel in your eating spaces. They can work nicely for that farmhouse look we mentioned before, or help you establish a more modern tone.

Additionally, you can work all white into small pieces throughout your kitchen, like your smaller appliances or counter stools, in order to establish a cohesion throughout the space without having to overhaul every appliance and cabinet.

Lighten Up Your Living Space

Although white decor may sound bleak, a clean, white living room can end up being cozy rather than clinical. And by utilizing plush fabrics and interesting textures, you can bring the design in without the need for bright colors and crazy patterns. Look to bigger pieces that you can add in white, such as a white couch or a white rug. This can help you establish the clean lines and tone of the room easily—while being able to add accent pieces.

White Bedroom Wishes

We are in love with images of luxurious-looking, all-white bedrooms that are circulating around the internet. You can create your own personal sanctuary by adding white furniture to your master or guest bedroom to create a carefree, peaceful vibe. A vintage-inspired bedroom set comes with all the main pieces you need to create your personal retreat: bed, dresser, mirror and nightstand. Bedroom furniture featuring an antique white, hand-rubbed finish lends a casual, comfortable feel to your bedroom. Add crisp white sheets, your favorite plush, white bedding, and soft white string lights to interact with the gentle light that comes from the nearby window. Nothing seems more comforting! Stick with all white accessories or add splashes of your favorite color for a personalized touch, and you’ve got an Instagram-worthy bedroom.

Don’t forget to delight your little lady with a fairy tale bedroom she can call her own. White is the perfect finish to set the stage for her own personal style—whether she prefers whimsical hearts and ribbons, a cottage feel or a more contemporary, clean look.

Compare and Contrast

The best part of all white home decor? The contrast it provides when you deviate from the white. The use of a stark black to bring depth and interest to a room looks amazing, but if you’re wary of such a sharp contrast, utilize your favorite colors instead! The look of fresh, green plants next to the white furniture ends up providing a soft and beautiful design. Bright colors like yellows and pinks make any style pop. Really, play with what you like and have fun with your all-white or almost all-white space!

Although this look isn’t for the faint of heart (or maybe those with kids and pets), we love the timeless and cozy style that a well-designed, all white room brings to a home.
