10 Ways to Add Pretty White Decor to Your Life

No matter what colour you pick for exterior siding or the front door, going with a brilliant white base automatically makes your chosen colour pop, instantly giving your home infinite curb appeal.

Make an entrance stand out with large, oversized trim on the baseboards, door and window frames to really add light and space to your foyer. Want an extra boost of design? Add a bone-coloured area rug for some extra pizazz.

Furniture is an investment, so you want to make sure you select pieces that will stand up to the test of time. White and cream coloured pieces help to make a space feel large and open, but they’re also completely versatile when you do want to add small pops of colour via toss cushions or blankets.

Toss cushions, dishes, lamp shades and even flowers are great ways to add instant pops of white throughout your space, further playing with varying hues of the colour.

Whether you paint old bricks white or go for more muted bricks and cap them with a white mantel, the colour will instantly update your fireplace and make it feel cozy and classic.

An oversized table runner is less cluttered looking than individual placemats and it adds an instant country classic look to your dining room. Whites and creams not only keep the look neutral so you can decorate your table year-round, but they work with any kind of wood surface, too.

White cabinetry, or pops of it in the backsplash and on the countertop, help to make the kitchen bright and open. You can add in complementary colours through accents or a stand-out island with cupboards in a different shade.

Nothing makes a master bedroom stand out more than a statement headboard. Opt for a lighter coloured piece that’s thin but definitive; it adds instant design appeal and lets you play around with coloured textiles on the bed itself.

At one point this vanity may have been stained, but by painting it a brilliant shade of white the piece feels updated and fresh. Now, it pops against the pretty blue of the wall, and feels right at home on the oversized white tiling below.

Varying shades of white make this bathroom feel large and open. Then, gold finishes throughout help to modernize it and give it extra personality.
