White Rooms. Yes or No?

Since our Black Rooms poll had such a high response, why not ask: What do you think about white rooms??

What are your thoughts on having a completely white room? Vote and share your opinions!

YES - I love how clean it looks

NO - That would drive me nuts

NEUTRAL - Meh, doesn't matter

I love the look in photographs, but I prefer more colourful spaces with more natural materials (wooden floors, stone walls, that sort of thing) in real life.

I sometimes wonder whether the reason why all-white spaces are so popular in photographs is that they look so clean, fresh and uncluttered, while most of our REAL lives are messy, frenetic and very cluttered indeed!

Too antiseptic and cold a look for me, thanks! I vote "NO".

Not a completely white room for me, unless it's a bathroom. But white on white as in these walls, mouldings, fireplace, and coverlet, with a few color splashes and warm wood floors, this I love!

Mey, it was not my intention to hurt your feelings nor to sugarcoat the fact that you need more color. You know this better than anyone. Why else should you show the ( very ) different color curtains? I don't know what your going to du but, I am absolutely convinced you'll do what you need to do, you'll do it when you're good and ready. Last but not least, it'll be fantastic! Once again, Mey, good luck to you and please please could you not write again, to keep us posted?!

jag skulle bildgoogla Ett hem av Studio Ilse för hotellyx. Är det den stilen du letar efter? Tror i så fall att det kan funka med möbler i vitt, varmgrå och brunskalor, fåtölj/skrivbordsstol med brun skinnklädsel. Fint med en platsbyggd bokhylla i antingen ljusgrå eller väggfärgen. tavlor snyggt grupperade på väggarna. Varmgula accentfärger på plädar och kuddar. gärna mässing i skrivbordslampor, taklampa mm. hitta komplementfärgen till den gröna färgen och använd en liten inredningsdetalj i den kulören, det blir väl någon slags orangeröd nyans tror jag.

Hej Mey, jag gillar idén om jutemattor! Och om man vill kan man ju ha en riktigt stor jutematta och sedan lägga en mindre matta ovanpå för att få lite färg. Här finns en massa matt-inspo: [https://www.houzz.se/magasin/klae-golven-saa-vaeljer-du-raett-matta-stsetivw-vs~63788938[(https://www.houzz.se/magasin/klae-golven-saa-vaeljer-du-raett-matta-stsetivw-vs~63788938) Hoppas du hittar en du gillar!

Hej Mona, I hope its ok write in English. I have a few suggestions for you, that should make you feel more at balance and at home with your living room. The shelf above the sofa looks great! Also super nice decorated and not too cluttered (happens more often than not in my house) Instead of having many small plants, swap them for 2-3 bigger ones, placed on the floor. Just because you have a window sill doesn’t mean it needs to be filled, less is more. I love the warm colours, the rusty orange, greens and beige. I only find the white knitted blanket to be a harsh contrast. Maybe it can move to another room? Since your TV is mounted on the wall, I would add a slim shelf/ box shelf underneath (also hanging on the wall) – depending on the type of receiver you have, you can even hide it behind the tv – there are fixtures for that. Then I would remove the tv bench underneath, for a more spacious feel of the room. The cables I would put in a plastic rail/ tub, leading to the outlet. In terms of wall paint, Id go for a warm dark grey on the wall behind the sofa & tv. If you have any more questions feel free to ask Hope I helped a little! Have a great day!

I love white rooms but they need lots of colour in the accessories for me. The one shown looks much to sterile. Needs more colour to make it feel more homey and welcoming. Lots of natural light in there, I do like that.

I'm a color person. Nature is color. I have walls sage, daffodil, soft blue; love them all. The white bathroom would be fun, but I'd have to add drama -- painting with bold colors. There's white and there's white. A hint of color softens the glare.

Our kids even call it "The White Room". Walls, trim and ceiling all painted white, tho trim was in a glossy sheen to make it look deliberate and not like it was a forgotten room. Walls were textured and floor was dark stain wood. Black and white art matted and framed in white, on walls. Black iron chandelier. Lots of comments on how great it looked. Furniture was in neutral palate but not white.

I love monocromatic schemes, especially white. It is a fresh look, but this large space needs an accent color sprinkled throughout the space. Without an accent color, the eye tends to be drawn to the dark color of the fireplace. If an accent color is not desired, maybe consider incorporating varying shades of white to give the space depth and/or incorporating lots of texture, either in the floor or window covering, pillows on the sofa, wall art, tabletop arrangement, ceiling lighting.

I really needed to repaint my bathroom but wasn't yet ready to do the full remodel and didn't have much time. Decided to just "do it all white." ACK, the glare! The sterility! It was awful. Ended up repainting one wall - the one opposite the mirror - in a dark cream; also the cabinets and the tub surround. What a relief. Then took down the white towels and replaced with pastels - much, much better.

Our family had a large, white couch in our living room. It looked great for many years. It took about 20 years of wear and tear before it needed to be replaced, but overall was quite stain resistant.

All white (or tones of white) with a hit of colour (and pattern) can make a really clean and fun statement! It also allows natural light to fill the room, reflect on white surfaces, rather than sucking up the lumens with dark furnishings, walls, etc.

All white gives off such a clean and refreshing aesthetic. I especially like how the collar ties are painted white, too.

I find it interesting that the only time nature features an all white esthetic is during snow storms. One cannot actually be comfortable outside during a snowstorm, tis lovely to observe from our windows in our heated abodes. We can, however, sit outside in our shorts and Tshirts during the summer when color abounds.

I loved the concept so I tried it at my cottage in Santa Rosa Beach but the sateen finish paint we used just looked cheap so I painted over. Now I am thinking that I should have used a flat finish?

Personally I am not opposed to some white but all white is what most rentals use and have used for decades. Many years of that limited palette could be depressing. I am now a home owner and want to express myself more fully. All one color palettes aren't for everyone. As far as sheen it depends on the wall surface but I find matte or eggshell look more natural while giving less attention to imperfections in the wall surface.

We used antique white on the walls with white for the trim and doors, it is a wonderful background for all our art and masks. We do have a cocoa color venetian plaster on our fireplace all the way up to the top of the vaulted ceiling, with a large black stained wood mantel.

I used to only have white walls throughout our home. Then I just craved color & painted every room a different color several years ago. It all works though by having teal or aqua accents pulling it all together.

yes! lOVE white rooms!! started out loving white kitchens and bathrooms but now I love all kinds of white rooms... still working on finishing our dining room which we just painted white and am finding that it looks great with rustic pieces as well as both weathered wood pieces and dark wood pieces for contrast- sort of a Belgian look?- the only drawback is that the gorgeous millwork does not show up as much in photos now with the white on white...
p.s. we are planning on either finding or making a rustic wood plank farmhouse dining table to replace this one at which time i'll probably stain the Chippendale chairs darker.

I only use various shades and hues of white ( or the palest grey) on all my walls. For me, being in a white room lets me appreciate the natural light outside at different times of the day, and how that all plays off of the interior white walls. You become much more aware of these light change in a white room. It just feels better to be around white for me. Color can be distracting once you furnish it at times. It really does depend on your "look" however.
