Choose a calming palette

When you want to bring serenity into your room, make friends with gentle shades of off-white. Play around with layers of textiles and accessories to build up the mood and express your ideas. The result? A classic look that’s always interesting, to draw you into your space with a warm, mellow glow.

A room and style hero

Don’t underestimate the impact of a white bed. As the centrepiece of your room, it’s a great base for all sorts of looks. From a soothing haven draped in soft white textiles that’s an antidote to a busy day, to a modern space uplifted with fresh colours and patterns, let your white bed embrace your style. And relax.

Switch things up with a cushion or two

Cushions are easy change-makers – even in an all-white colour scheme. Focus on combining a mix of textures and patterns in off-white tones and light neutrals for a tactile and calming finish. Experiment with layers of cushions in different colours for a relaxed, effortless look that always feels inviting.

Create an oasis of tranquility

Wherever you put them, white curtains can transform a room. From sheer and ethereal on the windows to extra cocooning around your bed – think cosy sanctuary that still feels light and airy.

Revamp your small storage

Got some clutter to deal with? Go for white storage boxes and baskets to keep your belongings under control. As well as rating high in the organising stakes, they can restore calm to your space, even if you need quite a few of them. Mix shades, textures and sizes to spice up the look – and make it more fun to find things.
