When it comes to designing a restful refuge, nothing feels quite as soothing as a white bedroom. Whether you gravitate towards bright white or warmer ivory, these neutral shades are known to be among the most calming colors out there for interiors. That's not to say all white bedrooms have the same feel, look, or style. In fact, there are so many white paint colors from which to choose that no two white bedrooms will be designed alike.

White bedrooms are, in fact, ideal spaces for expressing personality—whether that be through innovative wall decor ideas, layered textiles, stylish area rugs, distinctive works of art, or personal collections. White rooms are also great spaces for decorating with antiques as the neutral shade helps make pieces aged with character shine.

Beyond just infusing rooms with tranquility, the color white also makes interior spaces feel more expansive making it an ideal choice for small bedrooms. And because the neutral shade also helps draw the eye outside, white is an excellent choice for bedrooms that overlook outdoor rooms. It's no wonder white bedrooms are a favorite among interior designers. Take a look at these 35 most beautiful white bedroom ideas from the VERANDA archives that prove the serene shade is far from sleepy.
