40 White Bedrooms That Are Anything But Boring

Even if you begged your parents to let you paint your bedroom walls a neon green or soothing lavender hue as a child, you have to admit that there's something ultra relaxing and grounding about a white sleep space. There's a reason spas and hotels opt for white linens and keep accessories to a minimum, after all. Whether you struggle to clock enough hours of shut-eye or just want to make your bedroom at home feel a bit more like a room in which you'd sleep on a luxe vacation, we've got you covered.

White bedrooms are perfect for those who seek to turn their mind off at the end of the day (really, who doesn't?) or struggle with excess stimulation. They also are most definitely not boring, we promise! To prove this point, we've compiled images of 40 of our favorite white bedrooms, all of which will provide you with valuable styling tips and inspiration galore. Even if you swore you'd never skimp on color, you may have a new outlook on simple, stylish white after admiring the spaces below.

A Green Touch

Bing

We're always fans of adding plants to the bedroom, but in a mainly white room, a pop of green will really shine. Bing of Chez Vargas added plenty of pep to a sunny corner with a tall fiddle leaf fig. The more plants, the merrier, of course, but one large tree alone will make a major impact, if you personally prefer to keep green friends to a minimum.

Basket Case

@simplysingharath

Instagrammer Abbey perked up her beautiful white shiplap walls with the addition of some woven baskets, which add dimension and texture to the bedroom. Layering a cream colored rug over the room's existing carpeting adds a cozy feel and anchors the bed within the space.

White Light

@thegreeneyedgirl_

Don't forget about the importance of a dramatic light fixture! Instagrammer and blogger Claire of The Green Eyed Girl kept with her bedroom's white color scheme and opted for a an oversized pendant light that adds charisma to her space. Tuck that boring builder-grade fixture away and watch the compliments roll in once you opt for a piece with some personality.

Glam Accents

@styled_bynat

To ensure that built-ins in an all-white bedroom don't become too busy looking, focus on outfitting them with glass and silver-toned accents. This creates a majorly glam look, too, as we see in Instagrammer and home stylist Natalie's space.

Touch of Texture

@tania_heartsandhome

Choose a bedspread with a bit of texture, like Instagrammer Tania did, to ensure that all-white bedding doesn't appear too mod, if that's not your aesthetic. A comforter with a bit of frill adds romance and charm to the sleep space.

White Seating

Jen and Manny

If your square footage allows, placing armchairs at the end of the bed can be a nice and cozy setup, as we see in Instagrammers Jen and Manny's space. It's an excellent option for those who like to retreat to the bedroom to curl up with a good book mid-afternoon yet don't want to be tempted into a nap.

Mirror, Mirror

@scullyhouse

In bedroom of the DIY duo behind Scully House, Chey and Brandon, an ornate mirror draws the eye in while helping the space appear larger, too. In general, though, white is an excellent color choice for a small space, as it doesn't add visual clutter, so those in tiny apartments may want to move the hue to the top of their list.

Get Knit

@athomeonsweetcreek

The more blankets, the better! Layer on a chunky knit throw at the end of the bed (also in white, of course!) to keep the color scheme going and ensure maximum lounging potential, like Linette of At Home on Sweet Creek did.

Serene and Simple

@the.johnston.family

If you like to keep your decor nice and minimalist, skip the piles of throw pillows and opt for a simpler setup like Instagrammer Meghan. You want your bedroom to be a calming, clutter-free place to unwind, after all!

Mix and Match

Abby

Though blogger Abby of Just a Girl and Her Blog used a mint green on her bedroom walls, the white curtains and bedding she chose certainly make a statement, too. If your walls are already another color and you don't wish to paint over them, know that accessories can be a game changer.

Go Gray

@acornhillhome

Many people already own gray or neutral beds, and there's no need to part with such pieces if you're in the process of adding more white to your bedroom. Michelle of Acorn Hill Home's setup proves that white and gray look lovely together, especially with some silver accents included in the mix.

White and Stripes

@brony

Your white bedroom doesn't need to be fully free of pattern, promise. Here, interior decorator and homestylist Katie of Brony shows us how fabulous a striped rug can look in a space otherwise comprised of solids.

Bright Brick

@megleonardco

Have a brick wall behind your bed that could use a refresh? Go ahead and paint it white! The setup of Meg, the designer behind Meg Leonard Co, proves that even industrial spaces, traditionally known for being bold and sleek, can be serene and airy.

High-End Hues

@littlelatihouse

Feeling luxe? Try an elaborate throw pillow arrangement and work in a subtle amount of animal print, as Instagrammer Michelle did. These small tweaks will turn your white bedroom into a stately retreat. There's no need to solely stick to darker hues when designing a storied looking space.

Play With Pattern

Brexton Cole Interiors

White bedrooms don't have to be completely devoid of pattern. In this one by Brexton Cole Interiors, a bench covered in the playful "graffito" fabric by Kelly Wearstler makes for a fashionable finishing touch,

A Rad Rug

@babesinfarmland

If you would prefer to keep your walls nice and neutral, add some pizzazz in the form of a patterned rug, like Instagrammer and photographer Abby did. Turkish and Turkish-style rugs can be sourced affordably and in all different shapes and sizes and really cozy up a sleep space.

Out of Site and Mind

@xomelissatovar

Make your bedroom feel just like a luxurious hotel retreat by hiding clutter out of site, opting for plain white bedding, and placing a plant next to your nightstand, like Atlanta blogger Melissa Tovar did. We bet just looking at this space makes you feel more zen already!

A Little Light

@maceyalexandra

Sconces can also be an excellent way to ensure your bedroom remains nice and airy while still ensuring you receive plenty of light while reading in bed. In Instagrammer Macey's room, a modern black and gold fixture pops against the subdued wall color. Renters can hang sconces, too—just make sure to purchase plug-in options for easy installation and removal.

Pops of Color

@eunice_athome

Don't be shy about playing with pops of color sparingly; light greens and pinks make for wonderful touches of color in white spaces. Instagrammer Eunice layered two petite pillows on her bed for a little extra charm.

Fun Photos

@figtree.farm

Black and white photos—whether of yourself and loved ones or of favorite celebrities—always look right at home in mostly white spaces. Group a few above your bed like Instagrammer Jess of Figtree Farm did; they'll make you smile every time you step into your space.

Soft Sheepskin

Make like Instagrammer Sujata and don't forget about the major cozy factor of white sheepskin! Toss it atop your bed or off to the side so that you can warm your feet up when getting up on chilly mornings.

Down to Earth

@playinghousewithsophie

For an earthy touch, go natural with furnishings. A wooden bed and nightstand add a boho vibe to designer Sophie Flinder's bedroom but are light enough in color that they don't overwhelm the space.

Kiddie Haven

Candidly Deena

White bedrooms aren't just for adults—kids will also benefit from an extra soothing setup. Instagrammer Deena of Candidly Deena demonstrates how sweet (and sophisticated) a white room can be when it comes to the younger set, too. Framed family photos keep the space feeling personal and child-friendly.

Be Blue

Amanda

Touches of blue can add some contrast to a white room without detracting from its soothing vibe. Fashionable Hostess blogger Amanda integrated a dusty blue rug and headboard into her primary bedroom, yet the pieces do not detract from her all-white walls, bedding, and nightstands.

French Feeling

Sheila

Guest Oasis

California Cool

Peggy

Patterned textiles, black and white photography, and laid back linens give the bedroom of designer Peggy of Peggy Haddad Interiors a relaxed, West Coast feel. A fringed throw blanket and a personality filled plant add extra vibrance.

Grab Some Gold

Kevin

Small gold touches look lovely in white bedrooms and add some welcome glamour. In this bedroom, designed by interior design blogger Kevin of Thou Swell, a gold lamp brings both fun and function to the space. Who couldn't benefit from a bit of whimsy?

Fresh and Funky

Jenica

There's no need for your primary bedroom to be super serious if you prefer playful pieces. Blogger Jenica of A Slice of Style placed some funky fur stools at the end of her bed that can easily be moved around the space as needed and look majorly comfy. We bet they're super useful when it comes to lacing up boots and pulling on tights and tall socks, too.

Hang It Up

12th + White

Once again, we see how nicely gold or brass pieces look paired with white. Hanging a brass mirror above the bed, like blogger and decorator Courtney of 12th + White did, makes for an excellent finishing touch and will help light reflect beautifully across the room.

Be Curvy

@edwardian_on_sea

A curved headboard and nightstand add elegance to Instagrammer Laura's bedroom and prove that furniture shape can bring so much visual interest to a space, even if the pieces are neutral in color.

Embrace Boucle

@damienlangloismeurinne_studio

Boucle is also a favorite at the moment—we see it on benches, chairs, sofas, and now on headboards. In this space by Damien Langlois-Meurinne's interior design studio, an oversized boucle headboard makes an artful statement and provides plenty of cushion.

Zhush Your Bed

@brendaburdette

One of the appeals of an all-white bedroom is its hotel-like quality. Make your bed every day so that it resembles one located at a five-star resort (take a cue from this setup by designer Brenda Burdette). You'll thank yourself when it's time to climb in and drift off at the end of a grueling day.

Experiment With Shades

Jenn Pablo Studio

This bedroom by Jenn Pablo Studio, like many other white bedrooms we see, features many different shades of the color—such as ivory, crisp white, vanilla. Making a space look too uniform is boring; variety within a color family is not!
