7 Decorating Tips to Make the Most of Your White Walls

A stylish room with art on a white wall.One of the great benefits of living in a home with white walls is that white never goes outdated. It’s a popular wall color for an awfully good reason: not only is it piece of cake to update, but more than that, it also is highly versatile. Using white walls as an initial base, you can smoothly create interior designs that range from clean and minimalist to boldly colorful and full of drama.

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

Creative Contrasts

White makes for beautiful contrasts, which is particularly true when choosing your curtains. When your home has white walls, you can, without difficulty, use brighter, bolder curtains without, in essence, overwhelming the space. Curtains in contrasting colors will hook the eye, offering a splash of color that will contrast splendidly with the white walls around them.

Scandinavian Style

It’s in fashion and trendy as the Scandinavian style is clearly about clean lines, minimal décor, and largely white. If this aesthetic greatly appeals to you, your white-walled room is precisely the thing needed for a soothing and uncluttered look. Add rugs and furniture in soft, neutral tones to keep things completely functional and relaxing.

Pop of Color

If you do fancy using white and other neutrals but, as a matter of fact, find an all-white pallet boring and dull, why not add accents in one vivid color? Using a single shade, for illustration emerald green, navy blue, red, or orange, you can superbly add life and personality to a room without adding in any tremendous changes. Throw pillows, artwork, rugs, curtains, and other elements in your chosen shade can appealingly make those white walls pop!

Oversized Accessories

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

Black and White

Scarcely any decorating schemes are as timeless as a black-and-white approach. It’s a classic on account 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 with predominantly white walls.

Hanging Mural

If you do like the idea of an accent wall to offset your white walls but, on the other hand, can’t paint, weigh on adding a removable mural instead. You can, without hassle, get adhesive, removable murals in multiple stores. Not only are there plenty of colors and patterns to pick out from, but additionally, they are easy to apply and then remove. Unlike a single-color accent wall, a large mural will be a magnificent focal point and an artistic complement to your otherwise plain and uninspiring white room.

Play with Patterns

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