39 Ways to Decorate a White Room That Feel Like an Actual Dream
These ideas will make you feel like you're floating on cloud nine.
White walls always look clean and classic, but without the right styling, it can get boring, fast. Whether your design aesthetic is coastal, boho, or minimalist, we've got ideas (from products to inspo) for how you can make an all-white space have serious swoon-factor.
Create Contrast
While designing a Hawaii vacation home for a pair of self-professed minimalists, Catherine Kwong used the same white backdrop (Benjamin Moore’s Swiss Coffee) in every room. Graphic black-and-white art and charcoal accessories add contrast.
Au Naturel
One easy way to make white feel fresh? Mix it up with natural materials. Here, Dan Mazzarini combined a sleek whitewashed coffee table with a plush wool rug and woven pendant lights for a Connecticut family’s cozy family room.
Beam Me Up
Rough-hewn beams make a bold statement against the white walls and ceiling of the formal living room in an 18th-century Nantucket home designed by Elizabeth Georgantas.
Paint Your Floors
One of our favorite designer hacks for freshening up creaky old floors: just add a coat of white paint! (And don't worry about cracks—they add character.) Andrew Flesher used Benjamin Moore’s Super White in his 300-year-old Westchester home.
Strike the Right Tone
White millwork, tone-on-tone wallpaper by Marthe Armitage, a classic Saarinen table and pale wood accents makes this breakfast room designed by Los Angeles’s Cuffhome feel extra ethereal.
Mouldings Matter
An all-white kitchen doesn’t need to be boring—Alison Victoria integrated whimsical architectural details, like a pair of corbels sourced from a Paris flea market, to add personality to hers.
Show Off Your Collection
There’s a reason it’s called “gallery white”—stark white walls are naturally suited to showing off an art collection. We love the way Mary Douglas Drysdale used bright, modern art along with an assortment of antique furniture.
Accent With Black
Is there anything sexier than a black and white combo? If it's a small space, keep it mostly white to make the room feel more spacious, then accent with black.
Wood-Paneled Everything
Between the pale oak floors and butcher block counters, this Florida kitchen embraces an informal yet cozy aesthetic. Black latches on plank cabinetry lend extra vintage charm.
Use Your Green Thumb
All white can get boring, fast, so liven it up with potted plants and greenery. It'll feel like an actual oasis in your living room.
