Your bedroom, whether you share it with a partner or sleep peacefully alone, should be a reflection of your personality and your values. Most importantly, a bedroom should be a place where it is easy to relax. Some people may prefer to splash colors on the walls and bring in large tropical plants to create their own jungle getaway, but others will tend towards something a bit simpler and more zen. The bedrooms featured here are unafraid of dirt, dust, or red wine. The white palettes are soothing, bright, and welcome relaxation while beautiful furnishings, art, and accessories add just enough personality that each room feels like home.
When you’re working with a white on white color palette, you have to get creative with elements like lighting. The recessed geometric lighting in this bedroom adds a ton of visual interest without breaking up the monochromatic style.
For a much simpler answer to the lighting question, this room utilizes white floor lamps which will provide plenty of illumination when the sun goes down.
A bedroom can still achieve that zen feeling that an all-white design brings when incorporating a few more neutral colors. Here, the designer pulls in some grays and browns to give the space a bit more warmth.
Decorating a white bedroom means choosing just a few special elements that will imbue it with the right personality. Here, unique baskets and a couple of carefully chosen art pieces really bring life into the room.
With a stunning view like this one, you don’t need a lot of busy color in the bedroom. This white and wood design, plus a soft shag rug, is the perfect perch for watching the sky. The bedroom chair used here is a white Eames molded plastic armchair.
With a casual throw and open closet, this white bedroom manages to cultivate a bohemian casualness without even a peek of the electric colors usually associated with that style.
Using a white palette can be a good tactic in a studio apartment. Here, white walls make the apartment feel big and bright while Scandinavian style chairs add a simple practicality. The Wishbone chair by Hans Wegner acts as the vanity chair.
The light wood that makes up the flooring and bed platform in this bedroom is especially complementary to the overall white theme. Indeed, white and wood is a common design choice in modern, simple designs like this one.
The Scandinavian style is strong in this sunny bedroom, which keeps the color palette simple while playing a bit more with texture — soft linens, rug, hardwood, etc.
Although it uses white walls, this bedroom does not have the same blinding white effect as some others featured. Wood flooring and furnishing plus gray bedding makes for a much more subdued look.
This attic bedroom makes up for its somewhat small windows with plenty of light wood and white walls (and ceiling) to open up the space, no matter what time of day.
In another futuristic feeling bedroom we find a circular television mount plus a few pop of fuchsia, for an otherwordly element. That white bed frame is other-worldly!
Much like other Scandinavian design, Scandinavian bedrooms like this one feature simple, high-quality elements with plenty of clean lines and a focus on practicality. The rocking chair you see here is the Eames rocker.
It is rare to see a bed built directly into a house, rather than just placed on top. This creative bed design turns into shelving and even art itself in this bedroom.
