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.
