White Bedroom Furniture for Longevity, Versatility, and Freshness in Your Bedroom Decorating Schemes

When we go furniture shopping, it's no casual event. Furniture is expensive and we intend that it last a long time. White bedroom furniture might be the perfect answer to longevity, versatility and freshness in your bedroom decorating scheme.

Our bedrooms are perhaps the most often redecorated rooms in our homes. With a white bedroom furniture set, you can change just about everything else in the room and still have a match in your theme.

You can replace that old, but comfortable armchair, with something equally comfortable, but with an updated, fresher look that matches your new bedroom set. If you're sentimentally attached to that armchair, consider recovering it to better suit the style of your new white bedroom furniture set. Your existing artwork? Fits right in. You can repaint the walls of your bedroom in just about any color or hue. Pastels and some of the more vibrant colors all work well with white furniture.

If you're into seasonal themes, white furniture is a decorating asset. Remember that white makes a space look larger. This gives you a little more latitude in choosing items such as comforters and window coverings, with less risk of creating a crowded feeling – a colorful comforter in brighter or darker shades is offset by the outline of the white bed. In summer, a light, airy pattern on your bedding brings a welcome, cool feeling to your bedroom. In fall, as the weather starts to cool, bring warmth and coziness to your bedroom décor with fall-themed colors dressing up that white bedroom furniture.

White bedroom furniture provides another benefit to the home decorator – versatility in window coverings. It all depends on your taste. For example, if your bedroom is on the small side, white wooden louvre shutters can open up that space in an elegant way, giving you more freedom in adding other color accents to your bedroom, without resulting in a cluttered look. You might also choose light panel curtains, backed with pull-back privacy panels on a separate rod.

If you enjoy houseplants in your bedroom, go wild! A few hanging plants, along with a few on your dresser and night tables, bring a liveliness to your entire decorating scheme. While dark wood furniture might make this look a bit heavy, white furniture seems to complement the greenery. Keep a crystal vase of fresh flowers on hand to lend a cheerful note.

There's no question that white bedroom furniture is a real decorator's dream come true. Try these decorating tips and make your bedroom a retreat that calms, soothes and rocks, all at the same time, year around!
