Decorating a Bedroom With White & Light Blue

A white and light blue bedroom theme creates a fresh, crisp look that appeals to dwellers of all ages. Ideal for a guest room, the color scheme works no matter what the outside environment is. Accessories can make it feel nautical and beachy to fit into a warm climate home, while colder climates will see the room as an inviting, crisp, winter scene perfect for making snow angels. A great way to take advantage of standard white walls, this design can be brought to fruition in just a weekend.

Instructions

    • 1

      Paint the walls and woodwork in the room a bright, clean white. Use an eggshell finish to create a soft look.

    • 2

      Hang light blue sheers on the windows. Choose sheers with a small, embroidered white detail on them to add more definition.

    • 3

      Dress the bed in deep blue sheets and a light blue comforter or duvet cover. Pile up pillows in various shades of blue and white.

    • 4

      Use a whitewashed headboard and side tables next to the bed to create a “shabby chic” look, or use a glossy white paint to give the room a neater, more nautical appearance.

    • 5

      Place a small, white-based table lamp on the side table. Cover with a light blue patterned shade.

    • 6

      Frame black and white photographs in blue-painted wood frames and place on the side tables.

    • 7

      Paint a chest of drawers to match the side tables. Replace round drawer pulls with vintage glass pulls to add style.

    • 8

      Decorate a wall mirror by hot gluing light blue silk flowers around the edge. Place above the chest of drawers

    • 9

      Place a whitewashed wood rocking chair next to the window and top with a light blue throw.

    • 10

      Lay a light blue and white patterned area rug lengthwise next to the bed. This coordinates the colors and adds some texture and pattern to the room.

    • 11

      Paint a wood bookshelf a light blue color and distress using sandpaper along the edges of the shelf. Place books on the shelves and accessorize with white glassware and Wedgewood collectibles.

    • 12

      Hang a large art print on the wall that has light blue and white as dominant colors. A hand colored black and white photograph would be a good choice and there are a lot of abstract art pieces available with the colors of the room.
