White bedroom furniture can take on numerous personas: elegant, light, youthful, luxurious, rustic, or fabulously modern. That’s why this furniture color will never go out of style! But it can be difficult (nearly impossible) to pick out distinctive furnishings in the same shade of white without purchasing entire sets at once. Learn the art of the mismatch and you can create a beautiful place to rest your head without carrying paint chips from store to store!
Mixing whites is a great way to add depth, variation, and warmth to your modern home. Don’t be afraid to mix and match! Using just one white for an entire room can end up looking boring and sterile anyways. However, there are a few rules that must be followed to create a cohesive look.
Choose between warm and cool white. Warmth is great for traditional design schemes, but cooler tones make a space look modern. Warm whites are tinted with creams, golds, and yellows, while the cold colors are blues, grays, and greens. Once you have made your decision, stick with it. Combining tones will make the warm look dingy and the cool will stick out like a sore thumb.
If all else fails, practice your skills with the paintbrush or needle and thread. Painting can be quick and simple makeover, but upholstering existing furniture with slipcovers can also be a great way to turn many pieces white. You can transform even the bulkiest pieces into airy, white bedroom furniture with just a weekend’s worth of work.
So lay to rest those worries about mismatched whites. With the proper execution and planning, your favorite space will look better with variation, anyways. The perfect white bedroom furniture set will not be found on any showroom floor – but it can be created with your own two hands.
