Why White Is the Ideal Choice for Colorful Decorating

So, what’s with the focus on white? I love vibrant colors, but I prefer not to be committed to a single color. I enjoy updating my decor with the seasons, and white serves as a perfect backdrop for any color!

How to Add Color to a Bedroom

My choice for bedding is: white! While this may seem odd, it allows me to easily change the look with just a few pieces at minimal expense!

I have mixed and matched different items sourced from various places to create my white bedding. By combining two different matelassé patterns, I achieved a great look! My bed appears crisp and refreshing, serving as an ideal canvas for pops of color.

Decorate With Throw Pillows For Endless Color Options

Adding new throw pillows and a colorful throw can completely transform the atmosphere. Although I may have an obsession with throw pillows, they offer a quick and budget-friendly method to alter a room’s appearance.

A practical way to limit the accumulation of throw pillows is to purchase covers for them. Pottery Barn offers a wide array of excellent pillow covers that tend to last longer than others. While they might be a bit pricier, I’ve learned over the years that you often get what you pay for. With five lively kids and no sewing skills, durability in throw pillows is a must!

While I am loyal to Pottery Barn, numerous affordable alternatives are available at other retailers.

Layer Bedding With a Quilt for More Color, Texture, and Comfort

If you’re craving more color, simply layer an extra quilt atop your white bedding. I’ve found many affordable quilts at Target that boast beautiful, colorful designs.

The beauty of this arrangement is that you can leave your bed entirely white for a time, and it still looks stunning. It can feel like you’re resting in a luxurious hotel!

The Best Sofa Color for Adding Color to a Living Room

Next up is my living room. My couches? White!

White Couches With Kids?

I often receive comments about this choice! How do I manage white couches with five kids and pets around? Trust me, owning white couches is brilliant! Well, these slipcovered white couches in particular.

Here’s why:

They are slipcovered and completely washable! Choosing white slipcovered couches was a phenomenal decision for me. My couches from Pottery Barn have been laundered multiple times and always return looking brand new. I cherish how easy they are to maintain!

White slipcovers also allow me to quickly refresh my living room decor. A few colorful pillows for the season instantly update the look!

If Pottery Barn is not within your budget, IKEA and Birch Lane offer more affordable options, though I can’t comment on their durability since I’ve never owned them. However, I’ve heard positive feedback about them from several people.

Swap out Pillows and Throws to Decorate for Any Season

Back to throw pillows! I admit I have a slight obsession! I adore throw pillows and they offer the easiest method to switch up the decor in my living room and bedroom. Throw pillow covers are fantastic because they are much easier to store when you have a vast collection.

I particularly utilize covers for my seasonal decor. All my Christmas throw pillows are actually just covers over my everyday pillows. This means no need to remove old covers; I simply place the Christmas ones on top. This makes seasonal transitions quick and easy!

There are some stunning throw pillows available, and many are currently on sale. Lastly, TJ Maxx and HomeGoods are fantastic places if you seek a budget-friendly decor update!

The Best Color for Kitchen Cabinets

As for my kitchen? You guessed it! White!

I’ve been on an aqua kick for a while now, and it looks stunning against my white kitchen. The beauty of white is its versatility; when my taste changes, I can easily switch up the entire look!

Any Bathroom Color Scheme at Any Time

And finally, my master bath! White!

We tend to add some color to the walls since that’s easy to change, but the foundational elements remain white. Switch your towels and floor mats, and you have a completely different ambiance!

We also chose white for my daughter’s bathroom for similar reasons. It enables us to change the aesthetic with just a few colorful towels and mats.

Regarding shower walls and kitchen backsplashes, I believe the best tile is subway tile. When we renovated our home, we opted for white subway tiles in all our bathrooms and as our kitchen backsplash. They not only look beautiful and timeless but are also one of the most budget-friendly options available!

So there you have it! This is why I believe white is the ultimate choice for color enthusiasts like myself! Do you enjoy decorating with color or are you a fan of neutrals? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
