airy all white living room decor ideas cover

There’s just something heavenly about an all-white room, and though it’s not practical, it looks so incredible and fills you with an airy feeling, that many people decide on such interior decor. If you have small kids and pets, this isn’t an option for you but if you don’t or if you are ready for spending money on performance fabrics, carpet, and paint options that are made for real-life, dip into whites! To make your white spaces perfect, we’ve prepared some tips that will help you polish such a space.

Determine The Undertone Of White

The first step is to determine whether you’re going to stick with warm white or cool white. Warm whites will be easier to blend with cream and beige, and white cool whites will mix best with shades of gray. Whichever undertone you choose, be sure to stick with it throughout your space. Are you unsure about the undertone of something? Hold it up to a swatch of pure white.

Mix White And Cream

If you’re working with warm whites, then mix white and cream. You might think they don’t go together, but they do! Shades of cream will help warm up the whites in your space while keeping it light and bright. Plus, it’ll also bring in some subtle variation.

Repeat The Same Shades Of White

Make sure to repeat the same tones of white throughout your space. From the big pieces of furniture down to small decorative accents, this will help keep it looking cohesive. The key to keeping it interesting is to make sure you use different textures. Don’t be afraid to blend all types of leathers, linens, cotton, velvets, and other fabrics.

Pick Your Paint Color Last

You can get any color of paint, but when you’re shopping for furniture, you’ll notice that your upholstery options are somewhat limited, so pick those first! There will always be a paint color that’ll go with it because you can bring in a sample swatch of the color you want to match, and they’ll custom-mix some for you. Be sure to get samples first, of course.

Balance Out With A Pop Of Black And Wood

Going all-white sounds gorgeous, but there needs to be a little something that helps ground the space. That’s where a pop of black or wood comes into play. Think about using black and wood accents with small decorative objects, lamps, hardware, picture frames, or the legs of furniture.
