7 Decorating Tips to Make the Most of Your White Walls

A stylish room with art on a white wall.One of the greatest things concerning living in a home with white walls is that white never goes dated. It’s a popular wall color for a good reason: not only is it manageable to update, but, more so, it also is highly versatile. Using white walls as a neutral place to start, you can create interior designs that range from clean and minimalist to brightly colored and full of drama.

The best part is that there is no need to paint or even put holes in the walls, so you won’t risk losing your security deposit. Here are a handful of our favorite interior design ideas for rooms with white walls so you can easily get started.

Creative Contrasts

White makes for artistic contrasts, which is so true when choosing your curtains. When your home has white walls, you can make use of brighter, bolder curtains without overwhelming the space. Curtains in contrasting colors will pull the eye, presenting a splash of color that will fit exquisitely with the white walls around them.

Scandinavian Style

It’s totally trendy owing to the fact the Scandinavian style is essentially about clean lines, minimal décor, and plenty of white. If this aesthetic strongly appeals to you, your white-walled room is exactly what is needed for a soothing and uncluttered look. Add rugs and furniture in soft, neutral tones to keep things wholly functional and relaxing.

Pop of Color

If you do llike white and other neutrals but, with that said, really find an all-white pallet boring, why not add accents in one vivid color? Using a single shade, for example emerald green, navy blue, red, or orange, you can add life and personality to a room without executing any huge changes. Throw pillows, artwork, rugs, curtains, and other elements in your chosen shade can attractively make those white walls pop!

Oversized Accessories

In various ways, white walls are a splendid backdrop for some very dramatic interior elements. For instance, consider how visually appealing it can be to bring in a gorgeous oversized plant, vase, or piece of art on a clean, white wall? With just one or two large accessories, you can fully personalize a space and add a focal point that will completely steal the show.

Black and White

Not too many decorating schemes are as timeless as a black-and-white style. It’s a classic because of the fact that it’s both simple and sophisticated. Try adding some black furniture, a black-and-white patterned rug or curtains, and photos or artwork in black frames for a classic and coordinated look in a room full of white walls.

Hanging Mural

If you admire the idea of an accent wall to offset your white walls but unhappily can’t paint, think of adding a removable mural instead. You can very easily find adhesive, removable murals in a  lot of stores. Not only are there plenty of colors and patterns to pick from, but, aside from that, they are easy to apply and then remove. Unlike a single-color accent wall, a large mural will be a marvelous focal point and an artistic complement to your otherwise plain and boring white room.

Play with Patterns

White walls are amazing if your furniture, rugs, or curtains have all of the pattern and texture. You can do a lot more with patterns in your furniture and accessories due to the fact that white walls serve a grounding backdrop for your things. If you haven’t used patterns much in your decorating, view your white walls as an invitation to try  something a little more colorful and vivid this time!
