White bedroom ideas and inspiration

Calming, timeless and ethereal, a white bedroom is a classic choice that’s guaranteed to never go out of style. And don’t be fooled into thinking that a lick of white paint has to be a sterile, cold and boring affair – nowadays there are hundreds of shades, from creamy caramel-toned whites that catch the light and warm your room to off-whites with a hint of grey that bring softness rather than shine. Who knew?

Pick the perfect shade and your white bedroom becomes the ideal canvas to accessorise with top-quality furniture and soft furnishings to create a warming and inviting space. Hello soothing sleep!

Here, whether you’re after a bright boho look or a crisp contemporary finish, we’ve pulled together our best white bedroom ideas and inspiration to help you get it right with white.

Why is white so popular in the bedroom?

Here’s a smorgasbord of words to explain why white is such a popular choice for the bedroom: chic, clean, contemporary, Scandi, boho, minimalist, modern, fresh. Oh, and did we mention versatile?

White simplifies spaces, helps to calm surroundings and adds a sense of relaxed freshness to transform your bedroom into the perfect sleep sanctuary. Forget brash and busy; think calm and clutter-free.

Unlike other bolder shades, white not only looks amazingly crisp and bright but it has endless potential when it comes to changing up your style and matching any bedroom aesthetic. White furniture especially, such as white beds, desks and wardrobes, allow you to get more adventurous with colour in all the accessories and décor you add to the space. Feel like an ochre bedspread today? No problem. Want to add a pink velvet chair to admire your interior design skills from? Go ahead! White is such an accommodating colour that lends itself to an incredibly wide array of other tones and hues so get flexing your creativity, you superstar stylist you.

How do you incorporate white into your bedroom?

Looking for ways to spice up an all-white look? We’ve got you covered. From high gloss white furniture to colour pops and texture, here’s our list of top white bedroom ideas.

1. Use texture to layer shades of white for depth

Whether it’s fluffy rugs, knitted throws, crocheted pillows or linen bedding, texture is an effortless way to get creative with your white bedroom design. Not only does it add more interest from a touch and feel perspective, but textured whites will add a sense of depth and warmth to your design to help you achieve a truly boho, lived-in feel for full marks on the cosy scale.

2. Pair with wooden touches for a rustic look

White and wood are a match made in heaven. If you’re after a chic rustic aesthetic – we’re talking stunning chateau in Provence vibes – make sure to explore white wooden bed and furniture options when browsing for bedroom furniture. They’re guaranteed to bring warmth and texture to your space and look like the heights of fashion whilst doing so.

3. Colour pop to your heart’s content

From feature walls to accessories, there’s nothing more satisfying that a strong splash of colour against a white backdrop to create focal points in the space for maximum eye-popping impact. Whether it’s a strong wallpapered feature wall to draw attention to your bed or brightly coloured rugs and throws, colour pops create a striking contrast that accentuate the luxurious brightness of your white bedroom.

Why not try adding deep blues for a nautical vibe or citrus orange for something a little zestier? With this colour pop look, it’s all about vibrancy and energy – you won’t be able to keep the smile off your face.

4. Add a mirror to make your space feel bigger

There’s no denying that light, bright colours make spaces feel fresher – so why not maximise the effect with a large statement mirror? Not only are they handy and gorgeous to look at, but mirrors are miracle workers in any space, small or large, as they reflect natural light around the room to ramp up the brightness and make your room feel much more spacious!
