White bedrooms are classic, making them the perfect landing spot after a long day; the neutral hue will immediately help you relax. A more colorful palette, on the other hand, can be too stimulating. There's a reason spas and hotels often lean into white linens and white walls to provide a luxe, snoozy experience.
If you want to redesign your bedroom to be more cozy or simply want inspiration, we've rounded up the best white bedroom ideas below.

Adding plants is always a good idea, especially in a bedroom needing a pop of color. Not only are certain plants great for purifying the air, but they're also a cost-effective way to make your space feel curated.
Bing of Chez Vargas added some much-needed greenery to a sunny corner with a tall fiddle leaf fig. While one large plant is all that's needed to make an impact, you could definitely add some smaller florals or succulents throughout.

A seating area is a nice touch when designing the ultimate primary suite. If your bedroom's layout and square footage allow, consider placing two armchairs at the end of your bed as a place to read, get ready in the morning, and enjoy coffee. Plus, chairs offer a great spot to rest when you're tempted to take a nap.
