Fresh White Living Room Ideas For Your Home


No matter what interior style you are going for, white is the perfect foundation for your living room decor. The use of the fresh and neutral colour provides a blank canvas and allows your creative desires to run free. Shades of white create the illusion of a large and spacious living area which can then be embellished with any furnishing of your choice as white is superbly versatile. There is nothing quite like a white backdrop to enhance any furnishings and décor that you place within the room to create a clean and welcoming space.

From adding white curtains to painting your walls white or adding white ornaments, there is so much you can do to utilize the fresh colour way. 

We are here to help with 11 ideas on how to include white within your pallet to make your living room pop!

3. Dress Your Windows in White

White curtains offer a touch of refinement to your living room's interior design and décor. The fresh and soft white curtains drape effortlessly across your windows, dispersing light and creating a spacious appearance. From sheer to velvet fabrics, you cannot go wrong with white window dressings.

4. Play With Rustic Elements

Consider adding wooden paneling to a wall before painting it in ivory or white tones to add aesthetic value to the space. Panelling is a great way to add dimension to a room as well as textures and decorative appeal. Traditional picture frames or rustic white wooden furnishing accentuate a home's antiquity and attractiveness.

5. Integrate Traditional Details

Classical interiors exude a sense of airy tranquility without deducting from the history of the home while a fresh lick of white paint can create a modern-traditional blend. Antiques can be combined with contemporary ideas, such as an upholstered rocking chair with soft white cushioning.

6. Make the Floors White

The effect a flooring has on a space is often underestimated. Smooth, shiny white floors from marble to laminate can create a blank plan to enhance your layout and make furnishings pop. Any choice of white flooring can be used as per your taste, and don’t be afraid of light carpets!

7. Decorate With Shelving

Storage space is a must-have for any contemporary household so why not show off your style in a practical way with built-in white bookshelves. Using white shelving makes your books and ornaments stand out while not taking away from the rest of the room.

8. Use Contrasting Shades

In your living room interior décor, feel free to experiment with different shapes and colours. Consider adding white while adding contrast using another tone. This can be done using alternating paint colours, furnishings, and accessories such as cushions and blankets. White works well and highlights the contrast while also complimenting any colour it is paired with.
