Pros and Cons of White Bedroom Furniture: Creating
a Sanctuary of Calm and Elegance

Although popular opinion may present it as a one-dimensional colour, it is untrue. The different attractive shades of white offer discerning customers a degree of flexibility that very few other colours can match. Is the eggshell white your choice or would the serenity of the ivory white be more suited to your bedroom? Speak to one of the experts at a leading furniture store to know the shade that would suit you best.

The colour bears pigments that reflect all light and hence, it is the most ‘reflective’ colour’. As a result, your furniture would also reflect light strongly and not only make your living space appear brighter but also make it appear more spacious.

For sophisticated individuals, the aesthetics of their luxury bedroom furniture is of paramount importance and the colour is perfectly suitable to accentuate the appearance of such high-end furniture. The colour is known for its timeless and classical appeal, which is why its popularity among furniture designers is understandable. You can give your space a completely new high-end aesthetic that would be quite hard to match given its calming effect.

Create a monochromatic masterpiece by pairing your white bedroom furniture with select black statement pieces for a striking visual contrast. Designer white sofas or upholstery that mix and match black and white can make your bedroom dynamic. You can also create an abstract feel with black and white painting, a dotted wallpaper or a white bed with a black headboard, white bedding with black curtains, etc.

You can set up every piece of bedroom furniture in white. Finish your white gloss with touches of lighter shades so light can reflect freely in the room.

Decorate with French style to add variety to white hues. Consider using a crystal chandelier to accentuate the overall effect of white furniture and create a grand effect.

Choose a pillar and box-styled headboard to add architectural value. With a chunky layered headboard, go for softer-toned or subtle striped bedding.

Crisp and calm white walls and drapes can be clubbed with light green, yellow, blue or pale white quilts on your bed.

Wood tables give out a rustic feel. Incorporating a sculptural fireplace with a marble or wood mantle adds a touch of architectural grandeur and warmth to a refined white bedroom. An antique rug on your wooden floor can add a complementary tone. Raw wood in the floor panels and borders gives a vintage feel to a white bedroom.

Classic wall colours, such as soft whites or warm neutrals, serve as the perfect backdrop for custom, contemporary furniture. If you have a stone floor, pick mid-century lighting to create a vintage feel.

The most effective way of adding texture to a space is by adding objects and textile elements which heighten the variations in the room. Consider placing a dark colour rug in charcoal black and make your bedroom furniture stand out. Use throw pillows to add further textures to the room. Pillows in brighter colours provide the best textures. Place a small glass coffee table and heighten the sense of space, depth and serenity of the room.

Coffee table books with brighter colours will enhance the visual appeal of your white bedroom furniture. Consider keeping those books on a white sideboard or a small white table to create the effect.

Whether you fit covered lighting on the ceiling or the corners of the wardrobe, choose modern lighting that is subtle and classy. This will let the light fade out and provide a tasteful balance to your naturally bright furniture.
