Modern Farmhouse White Bedroom
BRIE WILLIAMS
White bedroom ideas beautifully balance the rich wood tones frequently used in modern farmhouse style. In this bedroom, shiplap walls and a wood platform bed introduce rustic charm, but generous doses of white keep the look bright and contemporary. Small hits of black in the wall sconces, patterned rug, and bedding add definition to the minimalistic space.

DERA BURRESONA
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 room.

Black and white bedroom ideas offer a classic, refined look. This luxe space pairs black-and-white damask wallpaper, a dramatic four-poster bed, and an elaborate chandelier to deliver bold style within a limited color palette. Mixing various textures, including a shaggy area rug, fringed pillows, and sleek metals, adds even more interest to the white bedroom.

Ground an all-white bedroom with black accents for a contemporary look. White covers the floors, walls, and ceiling in this airy bedroom, but a charcoal bed skirt and dark wood furniture help ground the decor. Black-and-white patterned throw pillows break up the white bedding. Use curtain panels or drapes to soften the sharp lines of a modern white bedroom while allowing in natural light.

Natural wood beams add weight and charm to this white bedroom. The rustic look repeats on a white upholstered bed frame defined with gray wood trim. Emphasizing framework is a good way to showcase the attractive shape of a furniture piece in a monochromatic space.

Use white to expand the look of a small bedroom visually. In this shared space, bright white walls reflect natural light streaming in from the windows, which makes the whole room feel more open and airy. Bold yellow- and navy-patterned accents add personality and texture to the small white bedroom.
12 of 21 Cottage-Style White Bedroom JOHN GRUEN
Emphasize contrasts to prevent an all-white decorating scheme from looking washed out and dull. 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 enough to draw attention.
Espresso-stained floors contrast the layers of white but continue the traditional cottage style found elsewhere in the room.
13 of 21 Blue and White Bedroom Ideas JOHN MERKL
Not all white bedroom ideas lack pattern or color. Accents in varying shades of blue create layers of interest. Glossy cobalt on the nightstand contrasts the bright white bedding. Patterned pillows in medium and light blues and white bridge the gap. To create your own blue and white bedroom scheme start with a white base and add blue accents with different saturation levels.
14 of 21 All-White Bedroom JEAN ALLSOPPA
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 primary 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.

This serene white bedroom draws decorating inspiration from a large gray and white painting. White-painted walls get a boost of style thanks to the statement-making piece. Soft grays found in the painting echo throughout the room on the bed frame and bedding. A large wooden chest at the foot of the bed recalls the look of beach wood and lends unique texture.
18 of 21 Brown and White Bedroom JAY WILDE
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. Antique light fixtures and quilted bedding reinforce the room's cottage charm.

Give an all-white bedroom a luxury hotel look with a single accent color that carries throughout the bedding, furniture, and wall art.
