White isn’t just a lack of color and isn’t boring. If you add some interesting elements in terms of texture and tone it can be luxurious at the day is long. Obviously, every accent color mixes well with white. It can be pale as my faded antiques or bold and beautiful depending on your taste.
With a white bedroom, it’s super simple to add fun pops of color all throughout wherever you want. Pictures, vases, and even bright and beautiful flowers can be amazing accents.

I received this elegant French style bench from a sponsor several months ago and it’s been making the rounds around the house. It works well at the end of the bed for an extra blanket and a couple of additional pillows, but I’m not sure if I want to keep it there or move to another room.

That’s another great aspect of decorating with neutrals, shop your own home when a change is needed and move pieces around. I’m thinking of painting this…painting furniture is so much fun!

What are your thoughts, leave it or paint it?

    Thanks,
