One of the most controversial episodes of “Trading Spaces” was when Hildi did an all black room & Doug did an all white room. It seemed like the show was more concerned with a gimmick than it was with the homeowners. The homeowners of the white room were absolutely crestfallen at their sterile looking room, especially since it had been so warm & colorful before.
A white room can be very chic, if done correctly. If not, it just looks like you forgot to decorate. This is a great option for a lot of people my age because they usually rent. Plus, when they make an investment in furniture, they need it to last for a long time so they choose a neutral yet again. They are almost forced into the look.
I like the above picture because it’s a white room that is cozy. The key to this is to bring in different textures of white. Another vital thing to remember is to bring in an accent color that will really pop, such as red. The white room doesn’t have to be a bad thing if done correctly.
