White Bedrooms

Bare white walls and traditional-style ivory furniture could look stark in an ordinary teen bedroom. But paired with exposed brick and dark wooden floors, the space feels composed and complete.

Choosing all-over white in a traditional bedroom makes perfect design sense: The natural finishes and sweet details in furniture, accessories and window treatments offer all the color interest you might need.

This sun-porch-turned-sleeping-space feels airy and open because of the white ceiling beams overhead. Shabby-chic bedding in pastel colors offer little resistance to the light palette.

With pure white walls as a backdrop, your bedroom can achieve a gallery feel: Let colorful artwork, frames and matting add the design interest you crave.

This lofty master bedroom proves that you don't need to stick with a single shade of white in order for a sleeping space to feel clean, modern and cozy.

Clean white flooring, walls, and bedding are the perfect canvas to paint on accessories in shades of dusty rose, from light pink in the window treatments, to mauve on the cushions, to plum in the artwork.
