White Bedroom Design Ideas That Are Perfect For Indian Homes

White provides the perfect background to have fun with colours. However, an all-white bedroom runs the risk of looking flat and lifeless if you don't add any contrast to it and also, pitch white rooms anyway come with the risk of getting dirty quickly, thanks to loads pollution and dust, so it only makes sense that you employ other colours to bring it all together in terms of looks as well as feasibility.

So, consider adding one element in a different colour, be it the furniture, walls or soft furnishings. Opt for beiges, greys or browns in light hues if you don't wish to move away from the neutral family. Or, welcome some pop of colour with bright ones like blues, reds, pinks, greens, purples or basically any other colour your heart desires to add some oomph.

Texture is pretty much what runs the show if you want to have a luxurious white bedroom that doesn't deviate much from the colour palette. Since few people wouldn't want to use other colours to keep the monotony intact like in Scandinavian-inspired homes, texture becomes vital in adding depth. You can go rustic, minimal, modern — let your imagination run wild when it comes to pairing together different elements in a white bedroom. 

To add richness to the white bedroom you can use a tufted fabric headboard and get your furniture designed in white like the side tables with a glossy finish or white painted wood will also look good. The next best idea is to add soft furnishings in different tones of white like your throws, beddings, cushions, or even your floor rug. Further, you can also introduce different fabrics for texture. To create an ethereal effect, stick to tones such as vanilla, cream, eggshell, and pearl. 

Blank white walls can give a room a cold, stark feeling, but they can also be lively and artistic if approached creatively! Imagine them to be your painting canvas where you can go as crazy or as minimal as you want to deck it up.

Now, this could go two ways — you can either add a white wallpaper that adds some sort of creativity to the walls (or maybe only the wall behind your bed's headboard) like cute florals on white if you fancy cottagecore, or a geometric black and white if you preach the classic monochromatic combo. Or, ditch the idea altogether and add a simple accent wall with artworks or framed photographs with snazzy lighting fixtures if you enjoy a more clean and somber look.

Your furniture choices can make all the difference in the sort of vibe you are creating for your white bedroom. And what we love about this is how there are endless possibilities. You can put rustic-looking clunky wooden furniture for a cottage in hill station-like feel, or choose clean carved arches and corners for the woodwork for a much more minimalistic feel. While whiteboards with a glossy finish would be a great choice in case you want to add some glam, we would suggest going the upholstered route with puffy cushioned furniture (like in the image) if you wish to make things slightly more fun for your white bedroom.

Since white would give an illusion of making your room look bigger as it reflects light quite well, it only makes sense that you bank on it even further and add lighting that would enhance the look of your white bedroom the most! Even the most cramped guest room can be transformed into a luxurious white bedroom by maximising on lighting for warmth.

While sunlight is the perfect accessory for adding life to a white bedroom during the day, it's absolutely essential that you get enough lighting installed for the evening time, especially for a small white bedroom so that the room doesn't feel soulless and dull. So gather pendant lights, ceiling lights, bed side lamps and standing lamps of your choice, and place them in your white bedroom for creating a warm nook.

Nothing refreshes a room like a well-placed houseplant, especially in a bright, all-white bedroom where it adds a splash of colour. Not only do they do a fantastic job of adding colour with their vibrant green, brown and purple hues, they also make you happier while regulating humidity and purifying the air. However, if you don’t exactly have a green thumb, faux greenery is a great option for getting the look.
