Bright White in the Bedroom

Bright White in the Bedroom

If you’re in the market for contemporary bedroom furniture, here’s a new trend that might be worth checking out: white platform bed sets. Lest you think white is plain and without personality, think again. Making a bold statement by standing out against modern decor like colored walls, bright bedding, and large picture windows, white modern bedroom furniture is a great staple for sophisticated rooms. Especially when paired with stylish geometric shapes and interesting textures, white decor is anything but boring. You’re probably thinking that while white contemporary bedroom furniture is great in theory, it will be a pain in the neck, if not impossible, to keep clean. The trick: avoid white upholstery, which needs to be laundered regularly to prevent staining and smudging.

Luckily, many styles of white furniture are available in a wide variety of materials, such as eco-leather and wood, which can be easily wiped down and kept looking brand new. Replacing color with texture, many white bed sets feature carved or interestingly shaped headboards for visual interest, all while keeping the bedroom looking fresh, stylish, and new. Platform beds are a naturally great choice for white finishes because they are streamlined and simple – without cluttering your space with boxsprings or bed ruffles, you have more clean lines to devote to white design.

If a total white-out in your contemporary bedroom furniture seems too much, you can always pair a white bed with dark wood nightstand and bedroom accessories, or vice versa. Or, allow the furniture to be the only “blank canvas” in the room, and decorate with boldly colored accents such as light fixtures, carpeting, linens, and artwork. Whether you’re interested in just one white piece or an entire bedroom collection, this trend is definitely one that will get you thinking about design in a whole new “light.
