Shopping for a White Bed

When you pick out a white bed you really need to pay attention to the details. Whenever you have the same piece of furniture for several years or decades it can seem a little bit boring. This is why just focusing in on really subtle embellishments is going to make all the difference.

You might want to really consider this color palette if you're going to go with a really oversized piece. This could be a four poster bed or just a sleigh bed. This can help it blend into the room so that it doesn't seem so large even if it really is.

Black and white beds or anything that's very modern like a platform style is very popular. The great thing about this style is that it can often have drawers underneath. This can be a subtle architectural detail if the drawers are paneled. You might even be able to find some with frosted glass fronts. This is going to be extremely contemporary. It can relate back to a lot of other frosted windows or wardrobes that you have in your space. This is a way to get embellishments in the room without adding an extra accent color.

White wooden beds can feel very country. This is just an opportunity to stay away from heavy oak designs. Real wood can be quite expensive. It can also be quite heavy in the room and really dominate the space. Just going for a painted wood is really going to change this. If you have a good imagination you can find a lot of these pieces that were popular a few decades ago and really turn them into something a lot more modern. This might even just have subtle iron details. You could paint these out or leave them as is.

For a girl's white bed you want to make sure that it really has an intricate silhouette. A good way to do this is with a canopy bed. A four poster bed will also work. This instantly gives it a princess like feel. You could even just add in subtle touches such as curtains or a canopy on top of it. This could also be in the same white color or you could change it up into a more subtle pink.

The great thing about a white bed that you can really explore is all different kinds of bedding options. One thing that you can do for a contemporary kind of space is just going to be to stick with a monochromatic color palette. You can head to white sales to get high thread count sheets and pair it with a white goose down comforter. This way you won't have to mix and match fabrics. It's great for small spaces because it does look so light and airy.

You can take the cues for your bedding from the style of the bed. For instance if you have a platform bed then this is contemporary. This is going to call for more graphic styles of bedding. A great way to accomplish this is just if you have a more traditional style such as a four poster design then you can go with either an elegant damask print or a simple country quilt.

One of the disadvantages to leather furniture is that it's usually overstuffed and oversized. This means it seems to take over the room even when it is quite neutral in color. In this case, you may just want to rethink the idea of a sofa and couch. You could just create a seating area out of four arm chairs. You could add in an ottoman so that everyone can put their feet up and this can be a nice conversational area. It could also just depend on the amount of seating you need to use such as a chaise lounge.

If you are decorating with suede leather then it can be little bit difficult to find it in white. Instead bring it in with an ivory or a light tan.

This is really great when you are using a smaller room depending on the lines just because they can seem too disappear but at the same time it's extremely comfortable.

Using a white leather furniture set in a living room is going to require a little bit of imagination. Instead of bringing color in on your furniture you're going to have to bring it on your walls. This should really be in keeping with a very modern and contemporary palette that matches your other furniture choices. In this case it can be a gray or a blue. You can even be very daring with black. This is also a great alternative if you really want a pop of color in your room or have the desire to be really dramatic with red walls. Clearly the great thing about white leather furniture is that you can take it in so many different design directions. You can match any kind of feminine palette such as pink and purple but it can also be very masculine with a chocolate brown. This is one of the reasons why it's such an investment because you can just keep the same furniture for years and years and paint the walls every once in a while to get a totally new look in your space.

How to Pick a White Chandelier

A white chandelier can work with all different kinds of design styles. You might have basic brass fixtures. If you’re on a budget use paint to repurpose this. Metallic spray paint rarely gives you a convincing look. This is why just going with a basic white color is really going to give you a more high end look on a budget.

It’s also really important to pay attention to details. This could be fabric covered white chandelier shades. Another important option is the sleeves that you might see a lot on candle fixtures. You can just make sure that you get new sleeves instead of just cream versions. You can just keep your existing metallic fixture and bring in these kinds of shades. Just make sure that you match the silhouette of the shade to the silhouette of the chandelier. A modern light fixture calls for drum shades with is different that the classical silhouette.

If you want a country look then just spray paint a classic chandelier brass. Then go for toile shades with tons of tassel trim. The color will really help to tone this down a little bit and make it more casual. Formal styles call for lots of crystal. A white frame ensures that the crystals are really the star instead of metallic elements.

This can be a feminine element especially if you go with an antique white chandelier. This can be metal to really juxtapose a feminine silhouette with a masculine metal. You can even find shabby chic versions that have metal flowers on them. This can work in a dining room or a nursery.

If you have modern spaces then consider a white chandelier light. This could also have a subtle beach vibe if you went with a capiz style chandelier. This will add more shine but it will be less expensive and more casual then a basic traditional chandelier. You might be able to find really oversized versions. It can even work in a living room if you have a coffee table underneath. This can also mimic the shape of your table. It could just feature a plain stainless steel frame with shells hanging from it for a more contemporary vibe that can add a little glamour to a room with a glass chandelier.

You can also really change up where you use this. A mini white chandelier is going to be a more formal version of a pendant light. You could hang this over an island for elegant task lighting that will turn this into a focal point. The great thing about this kind of fixture is that it does usually have a lot of crystals as well as intricate silhouettes. It would be too expensive and overwhelming in a larger version. This makes it perfect to bring into a space that wouldn’t usually have a chandelier.

If you find a lot of retro light fixtures you can really get a new look in your space. Just make sure that you consult an electrician for safety. Oftentimes this would have wood details on it. You may be able to whitewash it for a French Country kind of look; you can even rub some of it off so the grain shows through.
