Some designers and manufacturers have concentrated their effort towards producing white bedroom furniture. They are creating well designed and attractive accessories to create an elegant and chic atmosphere for your bedroom. All you need to do to achieve the look you want is to choose the principal elements of your bedroom and accessorize them with touches of black, grey or a bold color. But the main overall design is centered around your white bedroom furniture.

White is chic. It is angelic. It is the color by excellence to give the impression of light and purity in a bedroom. Besides being elegant it is restful.

When looking for white bedroom furniture you have many options. Wood for all the furniture is probably a given, and white bedroom furniture is not synonymous with poor quality of materials. You might find a very good quality wood with a veneer applied to make it a beautiful white lacquer.

You might consider simply a white bookcase headboard, or an all white bed with a white leather headboard. The height of your headboard can make a striking difference in the look you achieve. You can add additional interest by mixing materials. Leather, wood, curtains and pillows can add textures to further improve the uniformity of the color.

There are many ways for you to use white bedroom furniture. In a more poetic view of life, it goes hand in hand with the shabby chic style, a style that wants an old romantic look but one that is light, luminous and happy. If you opt for a shabby chic bedroom you will be able to add touches of pastel colors and flowers to your heart content. One thing to remember with this style is that your bedroom furniture will be whitened not necessarily white. You can take some old furniture and paint it white then age it and antique it.

Is white bedroom furniture a style by itself? No as I just said Shabby chic makes great use of white, but the majority of white furniture you will find is often minimalist with pure straight line and incontestably modern, even avant-garde. In this design setting we often set off the beautiful white bedroom furniture on a black wall. What is important to remember is that this sophisticated look is a balance of the colors. If white is dominant then the other colors must be used as way to enhance the beauty of the furniture.

Often you will find white furniture with a color patch, or band, to break the uniformity of the color. This is very effective as you can see on the picture in this post. If you choose to buy all white bedroom furniture and use color in small quantities to your advantage you will certainly end up with a most contemporary elegant and unique look that will make you the envy of your friends. It never ceases to produce a breath taking impression.

There are many bookcases made for kids available and choosing the right one can just be headache. From blue to pink not forgetting the ubiquitous white bookcase, from the most functional to the most imaginative, even sometimes bizarre, there really is an overabundance of choice.

Usually in a baby's room a bookcase will be used to house some CDs, stuffed animals or other trinkets. As the child gets older the bookcase takes on a more practical aspect. You can associate the bookcase with a coat rack to hang a bathrobe or a bag or a light coat as needed. Little by little more and more substance will be needed for your child's bookcase as the child will acquire more books and more things to display.

Often you will find that little boy's bookcases are blue and little girl's pink, but you are under no obligation to go along with that, specially if the rest of the furniture in the room is white.

White bookcases are functional and attractive. Anyone looking to make a simple yet dramatic impact with a clean, fresh vibe should consider one. Here are a couple of suggestions but do not limit yourself to just a few, keep looking until you find the right one for your purpose.

The wall bookcases made for children are often built to enchant and decorate the room as much as they are made to be functional. They are often finished with a shiny white lacquer and sold in easy to assemble kits. Dimensions will vary and you will find a white bookcase to fit any space you want, from a tiny corner to a large wall unit. Prices will vary with the size and the quality of the unit chosen. But one thing you can be assured of, is that a white bookcase is always an important element in your child's room and you should take the time to choose it carefully. If the bookcase is to be used by your child you cannot choose a tall white bookcase, but you could buy a couple of stackable bookcases, place both on the floor while the child is young, then put them on top of each other later.

There are many designs for bookcases and you can see some fun white bookcases in my previous post about bookcases or you could order this white bear bookcase from Europe (warning it is very expensive). You can find it at blogdecodesign.fr/decoration/etagere-ours-joe-par-ibride, but you are not limited to children rooms to enjoy the benefits of a nice white bookcase.

Where besides children room can you use a white bookcase?

The color white represents something free from impurity, filth, and sin. It is almost always associated with positive imagery, such as brides, royalty, or angels. It is also a staple in most design color palettes. Options for its use include paint colors, fabrics, or even furniture like desks, tables, or bookcases. This leads to the question – where would you use a white bookcase? It depends of course on the style and size of the bookcase. You might not be able to place a tall white bookcase anywhere you want because of the size. To add flexibility when starting from scratch you might consider buying shorter bookcases and stacking them, like white barrister bookcases, or modular cube bookcases. Then you have options when you need to rearrange the furniture.

White bookcases can lighten an already dark room. Rooms lacking in the way of natural light can have an almost gloomy effect. Adding a row of white bookcases along one wall can give the illusion of light to the human eye. White also works very well in offices and home offices, many people will buy a white steel bookcase for an inexpensive yet lasting way to provide shelf space in offices.

Use white bookcases as part of a theme. Add white bookcases to a room already containing red and blue elements to complete a patriotic look.

White suggests winter. In a room with a wintery design, white bookcases can be incorporated to represent snow, and are a much more practical design element than the real thing.

Follow a feng shui guide. Followers of feng shui believe pure white increases energy and soothes the psyche. Although feng shui does not ban the color white from any room within the home, as an element of Metal, it is recommended that white be used in rooms where Metal is dominant. White bookcases would fit in naturally in a kitchen with stainless steel appliances or a bathroom with brass fixtures.

White is neutral, and therefore safe to use when trying to find a piece of furniture to fit in an awkward space. Use a white bookcase to pull many different elements in one room together.

Hanging a full room of wallpaper could prove a little difficult, unless you are very handy, but if you only had only one strip to install then you could handle the job without problems.

Here is an idea that is inexpensive and can be implemented easily by anyone who want to decorate the walls effectively and personally.

On a white or light color wall simply hang one strip of a highly visual wall paper to personalize your decor and give it a very original look. The first three images in this article are from wallpapers from the site Parisgang.com a house that specializes in unique wallpapers designs but you need not order your wall decor from France for it to be effective.

Many on line distributors will have a choice of wallpaper designs to suit your fancy. The array of colors, textures and designs available today make wallpaper a wall covering method well suited for any decorating style. From bright colors, play on contrast in black and white, minimalism inspired from Scandinavia, to the most out of this world imaginative graphics, there is a wallpaper design for everyone.

This is an easy to do wallpaper project, but if it is your first attempt at wallpapering I suggest that you buy a pre-pasted type where all you will need is to activate the adhesive. Another good solution would be an easy install removable wall paper that can be moved to another spot later if you want to change the decor around.

By using a single strip your room makeover will be not only spectacular, but very inexpensive. It is a great strategy to get started with a new way to personalize your decor. Once you have done one wallpaper accent you might want to try an entire wall to complement it, as shown below. Wallpaper is very modern and effective if used creatively.

Do you like old things, furniture with the character of age, wood that has acquired patina over the years? Do you like to search for treasures in attics or flea markets, do you get a sense of accomplishment or just pleasure when you find an object with a story to tell? Then you might be a follower of the shabby chic trend and shabby chic furniture is right for you.

Definition of shabby chic by Wikipedia is a form of interior design where furniture and furnishings are either chosen for their age and signs of wear and tear or new items are distressed to achieve the appearance of an antique.

The word was first coined by the magazine The World Of Interiors in the 1980's and was revived a few year later by a British Designer Rachel Ashwell, who established her company in California. Her first interior design shop was a mix of hand made restored pieces and an eclectic collection of styles, but she was extremely successful and a new style shabby chic was born to stay. Today the chain of Shabby Chic stores is well known around the world and many books have been written on this style.

It is synonymous with flea markets, and remembering the past but first and foremost... with style ! Shabby chic is an elegant style that is authentic, it is simple and retro, it is a lot of fun.

The dominant colors are light, and white is the queen, frequently accompanied by her suitors in pale blues, pinks and grays, all adorned with flowers . Shabby Chic furniture is old or made to look that way, taking us back to a time when elegance was essential. The style feeds the aspiration to find authenticity, comfort and grace without spending a fortune. Imperfections and wear are not only welcome they are coveted. However, the function of the pieces you find does not have to be respected. You can turn an outdoor bench into a coffee table, use old chairs to make planters.

You can buy new furniture in Shabby Chic style in stores or on line, but it is by definition a recycling style, the use of old furniture painted white or one of the pastel colors, sanded at the corners to let bare wood show, old and use is good and if it is not used enough you can make it so. Rachel Ashwell said it herself "be creative".

So for some shabby chic furniture is just "pastelised" old stuff with a leaning towards bad taste, but for others it is elegant vintage, affordable comfort, carefully selected furniture with character, that is given another chance to shine before finishing its days on the pile.

Shabby chic colors

White is the most used color, to that you can add natural colors like sand, beige, off white, ivory or gray, all to create a warm, sophisticated atmosphere. To shake things a little you will add here and there small amounts of pink, coral, peach or salmon, complemented with soft green.

Flowers

Fresh or dried flowers are everywhere, on the print of curtains, pillows, throws, and lamp shades. They can decorate woodwork or walls, they can be on the tiles either on the walls or the floors. They figure on paintings, or photos and sometimes on the frames that hold the paintings.

Accessories

On low furniture, coffee tables or dressers, ordinary objects like grandma's dishes make the room look more personal. Trays and tea sets from years gone by (buy an inexpensive reproduction if you cannot afford the original) provide nostalgia and romanticism. A few mirrors and vases with floral decorations, lamps with crystal, a few porcelain pieces and lace round up all you need to make a romantic shabby chic nest. You might also consider changing your door knobs and cabinet door pulls, crystal door knobs and vintage glass door knobs will make a great finish to your room. It is in the small details that the greatest looks are accomplished.
