White Living Room Ideas, Living Guide, Furniture In Fashion

For those who want to keep up with current design trends, and prefer freshness and grace to bright colors, white furniture will be a perfect idea. In northern countries such as Sweden and Norway white living room and bedroom furniture is extremely popular. White color is preferred not because it can create an atmosphere of luxury, but because it provides a constant order and cleanliness: if light lining or wood gets dirty, people clean them immediately. White color in combination with clear and simple lines and natural materials is the basis for the creation of the interior, which expresses naturalness and simplicity. Even in a small room white cabinets and sofas will be able to create a modest, but yet chic atmosphere. These home furnishings allow making the room visually bigger as white color enlarges space, and thus does not tire the eyes.

It is worth mentioning that the white set of furniture can blend equally well with brown and with gray and dark cherry colors. It focuses the attention on the background of contrasting walls combined with a light finish. Stylish and bold white living room ideas involve a combination of bright white furniture and wall decorations in orange, yellow, green or pink. More conservative interior consists of white furniture with gilt fittings and walls in natural brown. Either way, you can create an environment that will embody the comfort of home for your family.

White living room furniture is available in different designs. Sofas with strict rectangular shapes, finished in white leather or thick cloth are suitable for minimalist style, in particular - for the Japanese-style interior. Rounded backs of couches and chairs, cabinets and tables with curved legs are great for a classic interior. Carved facades, rich decor and fittings, elegant rounded forms combine perfectly with the Empire Victorian or Italian style.

An alternative decision to the contrast of bright colors with white furniture is a completely white living room interior. In this case you have to be very careful, as a monochrome design can create a rather dull look of the room. To make it look interesting and original you will have to blend in some tiny colorful details that will make bright accents. That way your white interior will look unusual but stylish.  At the same time it is very important to choose furniture with linens and finishes that are easily cleaned so that your immaculate white sofa or table would not become grey after some time. The walls, if they are also white, should be also decorated in a way that makes it’s possible to wash them if needed. Note that if you have children it will be very hard to keep the white living room clean and tidy all the time.

If you do not have the desire and the opportunity to purchase all of the furniture items in white color, it will be enough to set a few elements in white, but those that match with the rest of the furniture and the general style of the room.
