What color comes to mind when you think of sleeping on a cloud? We'll take a wild guess and assume you're conjuring up images of crisp, white linen and cozy neutral hues. There's just something about a white bedroom that exudes comfort in a chic, classic way. While decorating with white can be daunting (Will it look stark? What if I spill?), when done well, it can create a dreamy bedroom you'll never want to leave.

We tapped blogger and designer Laura Genevieve for her best pointers on nailing the white-on-white look in the bedroom, starting with paint.

"Nothing is worse than agonizing over 10 shades of white," she tells MyDomaine. "My go-to is Ultra Pure White from Behr for walls in a matte finish, with eggshell or satin on the trim in the same Ultra Pure White. It’s the color I used for the entire interior and exterior of my home."

So if you're thinking of going colorless in your bedroom, read on for 10 bright ideas to inform and inspire you.

01 Play With Texture

Layering your bed with cozy textures is not only a way to encourage all-day snuggle sessions, but it can also add warmth to a stark bedroom. Genevieve is a big proponent of incorporating texture.

"I like to use a mix of textures—linen, sheepskin, cotton, wool, leather, etc.," she says. "I also mix pillow textures, along with their sizes and shapes." Layering four or more textiles on your bed gives your room that sleeping-on-a-cloud feeling and adds depth to your neutral space.

02 Invest in Linens

Outfitting your bed in crisp white or soft ivory sheets can make all the difference in how inviting it looks and turning up that luxury hotel vibe. We'd recommend springing for the highest quality you can comfortably afford, seeing as how the average person spends 33 years of their life in bed.1

Genevieve has another suggestion for you: Swap out your duvet cover. "I can’t tell you how much more luxurious my bedroom feels after replacing my cotton duvet with the rich linen texture," she says.

03 Upgrade Your Lighting

"It’s true painting a bedroom white instantly brightens it up, but it's even better with good lighting," Genevieve says. For an extra dose of warmth, upgrade your light fixtures to something more unique that coordinates with your style. Overhead lighting in particular is a great way to bring in a modern touch.

Genevieve also recommends swapping out your standard lamp for something with a little more personality, like a plug-in sconce.

04 Hang Curtains

Create a clean slate and add a touch of texture by hanging up some simple white curtains. Window or no window, opt to extend them from wall to wall behind your bed to really amp up the luxury—just make sure they run all the way from ceiling to floor for maximum impact. Curtains will also help dampen sound so you can sleep a little more peacefully.

05 Add a Little Shine

If your white-on-white bedroom is falling a little flat—maybe feeling too casual or even too bohemian for your taste, Genevieve has another suggestion.

"Sometimes when I put a lot of whites and creams together, my bedroom can start to look too boho. When that happens, I like to add in some brushed brass elements to warm it up and add a little sophistication," she shares. "Shine will instantly elevate the room, keeping it from looking flat."

06 Go Wild With Greenery

If you're anything like us, you probably wish your home was a living greenhouse. "I call plants my favorite accessory," agrees Genevieve. "They bring everything to life. Nothing makes me happier than a crisp white wall and a lush green plant in front of it."

Consider pulling a wide variety of plants into your white bedroom to create an oasis with a natural splash of color. And if your bedroom is lacking in the natural light department, a well-made faux plant can look just as good as the real thing.

07 Pair Blue and White

As we suggested earlier, color is definitely not off-limits in a white bedroom. Here we see how mixing in a single color can add a bit of depth to a white bedroom while still keeping the overall look calm and clean.

Light blue or denim is a great choice, but anything with a cool undertone looks classic against a clean white. Linens and throw pillows are especially easy to mix up with a splash of color and change out on a whim.

08 Try a Pop of Orange

A wonderful burnt or rusty orange is a great shade to pair with a white bedroom. Orange adds an infusion of energy into your space, but a muted version used sparingly is toned down enough to play well with a simple white color palette while adding a bit of personality to the room. It also introduces an earthy element that can warm up a space that's feeling too sterile.

09 Mix in Natural Elements

Mixing natural fibers into your all-white bedroom is a great way to add a bit of warmth without sacrificing that crisp, monochromatic color scheme. Rich, textured wood furniture and hanging wicker and rattan baskets add a lovely contrast to the sharp white color palette in this room while providing a bit of color to tone down the brightness and bring things back down to earth.

10 Go Bold With Accessories

One of the greatest benefits of decorating an all-white room is you have the freedom to go bold with your accessories without overwhelming the space. Splurge for throws, blankets, or curtains with embellishments and fun details instead of sticking to the simpler options. Fringe, pom-poms, tassels, and embroidery are a few unique features that come to mind, but you could also opt for boldness in pattern and texture.
