You're Killing Me with White Rooms

Ok, the first room isn't all white but you get the idea. Although white can be the safest color, I find decorating with white very tricky. Those who are afraid of color leave their walls white which makes the space look boring, and sometimes an all white room ends up looking like a mental hospital rather than a serene space.
However, I adore all of these spaces from Lonny magazine. Their use of white seem so appropriate when mixed with different textures, patterns, little hint of colors, and some accent pieces.

if i didn't care about possible stains on expensive furniture, all of these would be my dream rooms!

That second last photo of the bedroom... makes me want to rip mine out and start all over again!

Gorgeous. I agree - white rooms can be a creative canvas when you use different textures/patterns/etc.

amazing inspiration <3 i like starting out with a white palette & adding alot of colourful bohemian details to it. the room with the spiral stairway is exquisite, and so is the first. love your interior deco posts!

gorgeous inspiration- I am a huge fan of white, and definitley believe a lot of accessorising, subtle tones can just make it seem so much more welcoming than stark.gorgeous.Katie,x

I adore white rooms and I've pretty much decorated some (sketches,drawings) and they ended up really well ,but I'm not really able to live in one , I need some mess and colors to feel happy and a white room needs to be tidy.

I completely agree! I went w/ a white pallet in my room and added a few colored accents here & there. I think white not only makes the place look serene but bigger, it opens up your space and you can make it feel homey w/ lots of photos/paintings on the wall.

Beautiful & so inspiring!
Pulling off white seems easy but can be tricky when you're actually doing it. They did an amazing job with balancing the colors of the photos with the white in the room on the second one down.

Thx for posting! : )

love white interiors

check out my revitalash final review at:

The staircase in the 3rd picture is so glam. Despite that they get dirty faster, I usually feel that white (or at least light coloured rooms) have a much more welcoming feel that darker rooms.

I loveee white too it makes the room look so much bigger, and classy. I absolutely love the second shot. and that American Express "poster" in one of those pictures is too funny! haha!

I just did my room up! It's almost completely white. I especially love my big white bed.

It feels so nice and pure and calm now :)

I find all of these interiors truely amazing; yes, they would account to the aspect of constantly cleaning stains, but the sense of how a living spcace can be so drasticly yet beautifully transformed kind of serenes it. Its very difficult to choose which one is actually my faviourite, although the third and second to last has given me goose bumps, i quess i have an obsession with beanbags, black and white illustrations hung on a plain canvas and metal spiral staircases. Great GREAT post! X Neda X

you always have the most inspiring pictures from interior designs! I also want to scroll down and post some on my blog, but do you have a website or blog you get most of your pictures from? really want to know.

I agree with what you're saying about white!! It may seem like an easy color... Until you actually start decorating/painting your room with it, true that!

Speaking of decor, I am now a contributor at the Chair Blog, so should you ever need some chair inspiration you are most welcome :) My first post yesterday was about a mostly white high back dining chair!! Here's the link:

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE white furniture! I'm so afraid they'll get dirty though haha.

I was going to say you have to have color to pull off a white room interestingly enough.

I ♥ white rooms, true they can look like a mental hospital when done incorrectly but they serene beautiful and uplifting when done just right, like these gorgeous photos x

http://athousandroads.blogspot.com/

White rooms are absolutely gorgeous when done right; they are so serene and pure looking. However, as with white clothing, I can only look and cringe at how much cleaning would be involved in maintaining that whiteness. Plus, forget about inviting people over! People + wine = disaster for white rooms.

I absolutely adore that post!!!

Totally agree! Love these photos; not a white wall fan, but actually considering going back to bring out colors/textures/patterns in everything else in the room. The tan/khaki color... eh!

I agree, white is definitely hard to decorate with even though it seems simplistic. Love all of the photos you have posted up!

Just out of curiousity (from the photos you took in previous posts), which camera & lens did you use?

I want to move in.

I have to tell you a funny little story.
So i was sitting in starbucks today and next to me were 2 girls browsing on their macbook and they were on your blog and they were discussing on how to pronounce your name... I think they came up with about 10 different ways, at the end though they decided that they should just stick to Song of Style..
Then I decided to tell them how to pronounce your name! The whole thing was quite hilarious...
I hope you found this just as entertaining as I did :)

These rooms are so simple and beautiful. Nothing too over the top, just perfect.
