12 White Living Room Ideas
What is it about white that makes a room look so much more spacious? I love this simple white living room.
I think it’s the perfect mix of modern and traditional and has an elegant, yet casual feel. The simplicity of the room is so refreshing.
I think the white sectional is the perfect piece for the room. It just looks so cozy and inviting.
I also like the way the room is balanced with the two matching chairs.
The room is so bright and airy with all the windows. I think the light wood floors and the white walls are perfect. It’s so nice to see a room with white walls.
I feel like everyone is so afraid of white walls but they really make the room look so much bigger and brighter.

Do you love it as much as I do?
1. Choose a white color palette
When in doubt, keep it simple! A color palette made up of different shades of whites and creams can make for a stunning living room.
This look is perfect if you want to create a clean, modern space.
For this room, we used a variety of whites in the furniture, paint, and decor pieces.
Then we added in black and gold accents to give the room a little contrast and some warmth.
2. Make it modern
If you’re a fan of a more modern look, you can still create a cozy space. This living room is the perfect example of how to do just that.
The large sectional with plenty of throw pillows and blankets is perfect for a family movie night or a cozy nap.
A large rug helps to define the space and bring in some color and texture.
We love the mix of modern and traditional in this room.
The light fixture, coffee table, and built-ins are all more traditional elements, but the modern sofa and accent chairs bring a fresh twist to the space.
The built-in bookshelves are styled to perfection with a mix of books, art, and decor.
3. Use texture
Without color, you’ll want to add interest to your space in other ways. One of the best ways to do that is by adding texture.
Texture can be added through textiles like throw pillows, blankets, curtains, and rugs. You can also add texture through furniture and decor.
In this space, the textures are what make it interesting. The two different chairs have two different textures, as do the two different rugs.
The throw pillows and blanket add even more texture.
4. Add small pops of color
While I love the look of an all-white space, I also love to incorporate small pops of color to help give the room more personality.
I did this in my living room by adding in some small pops of pink and blue.
I love how the pink roses help to bring some color to my space, and I love the mix of pink and blue pillows on my couch.
I also have some small pops of blue in my curtains and in the blue and white ginger jars on my mantel.
5. Keep it simple
This is a classic trick for any small space. Keep the color palette simple and don’t go overboard with furniture.
In this white living room, the white walls and white sofa are broken up by the wooden floor and the dark grey rug.
The only other colors in the room are the greenery and the painting above the sofa, and the room still feels light and spacious.
6. Make a statement with your furniture
If you are a fan of more traditional living room decor, then using white as your base and adding in a few statement pieces could be the way to go.
In this living room, the white walls, white fireplace, and white ceiling are all brought to life with a rich, dark wood coffee table.
7. Add a few houseplants
No matter what color scheme you choose for your living room, adding houseplants is a simple way to bring a little life into the space.
If you want to keep things simple, try adding a few small potted plants to your coffee table or end tables.
You can also add a larger plant to a corner of the room or use a plant stand to add some height and dimension to your space.
If you don’t have a green thumb, don’t worry! There are plenty of low-maintenance houseplants that are perfect for beginners.
Snake plants, pothos, and spider plants are all great options that don’t require a lot of attention.
8. Use a mix of materials
In a white living room, it’s especially important to incorporate a mix of materials and textures to keep the space from feeling too sterile.
In this white living room designed by Studio DB, the marble coffee table and leather armchair give the room a rich, layered feel.
The velvet sofa and shag rug also add plenty of texture to the space, while the brass and glass accents add a touch of glitz.
9. Add some personal touches
A white living room can be the perfect blank canvas for you to add your own personal touches.
In this living room, the white walls and sofa provide the perfect backdrop for the owner’s art collection.
The black frames of the paintings tie in with the black accents throughout the rest of the room.
10. Make it cozy
White living rooms can be just as cozy as any other space. You can create a warm and inviting atmosphere by adding soft textures and comfortable seating.
The key to making your white living room feel cozy is to not let the space feel too empty.
Add a few area rugs, throw blankets, and pillows to make the space feel comfortable and inviting.
You can also add a few personal touches, like family photos, to make the space feel more like home.
