Embrace a silver and white palette and create a dreamy luxurious look in your bedroom. Top it up with a royal-like headboard towering above the bed and you have yourself a 7-star residence that not only feels heavenly but also looks like a million dollars. Creating a white and silver bedroom is easy. In fact, it may be one of the easiest looks to pull. As long as you’re willing to redo the finishing of your bedroom furniture, you’ll easily have everything looking all white or silver and magnificent. The beauty about adopting a white and silver decor theme is that the two hues are quite similar in intensity. That they share space in the neutral zone of colors makes it easy to interchange them at will without disrupting the calm of the decor.
The first step in implementing a white and silver theme in the bedroom is deciding which furniture and accessories need to be white and which ones need to be silver. White furniture against silver furnishings gives a timeless look and is the more common approach to decorating in this fashion. Getting all-white furniture for the bedroom does not mean that you have to necessarily replace the furniture you already have. A cheaper way to transform existing furniture is by painting it in white. That automatically takes care of the white aspect in your decor. Now, you only have to work different layers of silver into the room.
When the furniture is white, it follows that the room accents and furnishings should have more of silver and less of white. Depending on your setting and size of the bedroom, some accessories will look better in silver while others will be better if white. Have silver curtains, a silver area rug or two and silver beddings. Paint the walls in silver or use silver wallpaper. The room will look neat and well planned if the shade of silver used on the wall contrasts the one used on furnishings. If the furnishings have a deep silver hue, pick a lighter silver for the walls and vice versa. On some surfaces, you can combine different shades of silver for a dramatic effect.
Incorporate different textures to give personality to your white and silver theme. Using a single texture across the room will inadvertently make the bedroom look rigid, while varying the textures of different surfaces adds a playful element to the room. Mix plain silver fabrics and patterned ones. You can never go wrong with floral silver surfaces, which you can adopt on the walls, curtains or bedding. Stripes, either horizontal or vertical, are another top pattern choice that you can use – have striped wallpaper mark the borders of the walls or put up striped wallpaper on one or all of the walls, have a stripped silver headboard or a striped bed cover.
Transform your bedroom into a magical space you enjoy retreating into using a white and silver palette. A white and silver bedroom looks elegant, charming and luxurious, and is exactly what you need to turn your bedroom into a cozy, personal space.
