Don't think of white as a blank color, instead think of it as a perfectly blank canvas for your creative ideas and various decorative items. Using white in an apartment interior is an ideal way to create clear and concise lines. The abundance of white will make your room feel brighter and more spacious, even if you only have a small space.
The beauty of white is that it looks great with almost any other color. Designers recommend adding at least one accent color to your living room to help brighten it up a bit. Choose based on your favorite color, consider the mood you want to set in your living room, or a neutral that you won't get tired of. Adding an accent color is the easiest way to break up an all-white room and create a more interesting and vibrant space. The combination of a white living room with bright accents on the shelves and artwork on the walls looks beautiful.
A white room furnished exclusively in one style can end up becoming cold and monotonous. When sticking to a white palette in your apartment design, don’t forget that you can easily combine different styles: from modern to classic.

Visual planning
. It is very important to draw up a design project for the living room before starting the renovation. Make a plan for your future living room, because wouldn't it be great if you could see what your design ideas and furniture layout will actually look like before you implement everything? This kind of planning can completely change all your ideas.
A place in a draft is not the best place to place a sofa
. Once you've mapped out your living room, you can trace an imaginary line from window to door. This line will show you where not to place the sofa.
The location of the sofa in the living room
. Next you can see different options for the location of the sofa. Thanks to which you can understand that your task can completely change the place for the sofa in this room.
1. The location of the sofa opposite the TV, diagonally, is considered the best. As if inviting you to relax in front of the TV.
2. If you often receive guests, then place the sofa near the door and you definitely can’t go wrong.
3. If you have chosen a corner sofa for your living room, then you can hardly find a better location for it than the far corner from the door. Thanks to this layout, the room will visually become larger.
Small hall: design tips
If you have a small living room at your disposal, this is definitely not a problem. Such features can be easily corrected using classical techniques.
- Use several types of lighting at once and make a choice in favor of light curtains or no curtains - light creates the illusion of space;
- Choose glossy details - mirrors, glass vases and chandeliers, glossy furniture surfaces reflect and multiply light;
- Choose light colors. Start with the walls - it’s best if they are snow-white or bleached beige or gray (you don’t have to give up bright accents);
— Do not overload the interior of the hall with details, because the worst thing that can happen to a small room is a pile of furniture, decor, as well as an abundance of ornaments and patterns on the walls;
- Give preference to light furniture - laconic, small-sized furniture made from simple and plain materials does not attract much attention, and also takes up little space, which is not in abundance anyway;
— Add plants - they always make the design more airy, as well as refresh and enliven it, especially if the interior is made in monochrome.
Any small room can be made light and relaxed, the main thing is to really want it!

Correct opening of the door in the living room
In or out?
Opening the door in the living room
. Not everyone wants the front door to the living room to stand out somehow. In this case, the best solution would be an invisible door without platbands. Paint it the same color as the wall and it will completely blend into the space.
Should the door of the room open inward or outward? There are no clear rules here. This question can be answered correctly only by taking into account the layout of the living room and the arrangement of furniture. The most important thing is that nothing interferes with the door opening and free entry and exit from the living room. Also, the door should not interfere with your access to the closet or wardrobe. In some cases, the best solution is to move the doorway or install a sliding or folding door.
1. Excellent location of the doorway. The picture clearly shows that it does not interfere with entry or exit and does not block the corridor. However, this arrangement also has its drawbacks, for example, an open door touches the closet.
2. Not the best solution. The door interferes with normal passage into the room and takes up free space. In this case, it is best to change the direction of the door, but if this is not possible, then install a folding model or an accordion.
3. Not a very good option. In order for the door to the living room to open, you need to step back, and in an apartment with a narrow corridor this will create unnecessary inconvenience. In this case, it is best to choose a sliding or folding model.
4. A good location of the door, which does not obstruct passage to the room and is considered the most successful from a fire safety point of view.
Contrasts in the interior of a white living room
Long curtains and a symmetrical pattern on the marble floor make this black-and-white room elegant and memorable.
The question that logically arises: why bring bright color accents to a snow-white living room? The answers are simple.
- Contrasts make a space more visually appealing. The combination of dark and light tones introduces movement - the interior seems more dynamic.
- This is an opportunity to zone a room. Furniture in purple or black can highlight a seating area, divide the space of a living-dining room, or mark the entrance door to a room.
- Bright spots on a white background help highlight the character of the home owner. Decorating the walls with dark oak wood panels makes the interior brutal and sophisticated, and lemon curtains interspersed with turquoise or heavenly glaze bring lightness and spontaneity.
Any interior elements are suitable to create contrast: from finishing materials to decor.
Things to remember. For those who like to bring something new into the interior, contrasts should be created based on the decor. These are pillows, art objects, dishes, flowerpots. If desired, you can always replace them with objects of a different shade and bring a different mood to the white living room.
TV in the living room
size and location
Placing a TV in the living room
. How beautiful it will look in the interior depends on how large the diagonal of the TV is.
Location
. The best solution is to place the TV on the wall opposite the sofa. In this case, it doesn’t really matter what the distance is, because the latest TV models can be placed even close to the sofa.
Cabinet or bracket?
At your request. It is necessary that the wall with the TV look worthy in the interior of the living room. Don't forget about the cable channel that will hide all communications. No wires from sockets for the receiver, set-top box from the TV, or modem should be visible. Exposed wires have a very negative impact on the overall design of the room!
Height from floor
. The best solution is to place the TV 1 m from the floor to the middle of the screen. The fact is that at this level are the eyes of a person sitting opposite the sofa.
Diagonal size
. If you can afford to buy a more expensive TV, then consider buying models from 50 inches. A small screen will look very lonely on a monotonous wall.
Film projector as an alternative
. In addition to a film projector, you'll need a screen if you don't have clean, white walls. The screen can be lowered manually, but a motorized model is also available. For this model, you should think about catering. Don't forget that all wires must be hidden. It is also very important to pay attention to choosing a suitable location for the projector. Decide whether the mount is permanent or removable. The removable mount will be used for viewing purposes only. Don't forget about thick curtains that don't allow light to pass through. Such curtains are necessary to get a high-quality picture.

Rules for decorating a white interior
Creating a white living room interior has its own rules; guided by them, you can decorate a beautiful, functional room.
In spacious rooms it is worth using a cream shade of color. The room will be filled with a pleasant glow of warm light. This tone goes well with shades of beige.
It is advisable to paint small rooms in pure white, otherwise the charm of the living room will be lost, it will look untidy, even dirty in the shaded corners of the room. Cool, slightly blue tones are combined with gray and steel shades.
Decorative elements, in the form of paintings, floor vases or ornamental plants, are best placed in well-lit parts of the room. White walls focus attention on these items.
Furniture in the living room
Furniture in the living room
. This calm neoclassical interior design uses a blue armchair as an accent color. Note that this is a very soft and comfortable accent.
- Armchair.
Due to the fact that the color and shape of the chair almost always look a little different than the rest of the furniture in the room, it is often used as a color accent. To avoid making a mistake when choosing a chair, consider your habits. If you like to climb up and spend time reading a book, then you will be most comfortable in a chair with dimensions of 90x90. And if you just need a comfortable chair to sit on, then choose a model with an 80x80 seat, as well as a large back and comfortable armrests. - TV stand.
Large TV stands were once very popular, but today there is no need for such models. After all, you no longer need to store discs, cassettes and a DVD player in them. Today, narrow miniature models or console tables are relevant. - Coffee table.
Thanks to this piece of furniture you can create a cozy atmosphere in your living room. For especially hospitable hosts, there are folding models that turn into spacious tables. However, it is very difficult to find such specimens, and their price will be rather high. - Side tables.
The size of the room does not always allow you to choose a full-size coffee table. However, for such cases, there are convenient and universal add-on models. Such models do not take up much space and are convenient to rearrange. You can always find unusual design options and turn an ordinary side table into the centerpiece of your living room. - Rack.
One of the most useful pieces of furniture. Let's start with the fact that the rack allows you to place various items. It can also be used as a neat through partition for zoning space. Such a partition does not take away light and does not take up much space. It will be especially useful in small apartments. - Additional storage cabinet.
If you have a rather large living room, then you can use the following furniture arrangement: place the sofa in the middle of the room to find free space for the closet. Then you don't have to decide - a large storage space or a comfortable sofa. Consider the apartment plan in detail and use all available storage space; houses almost always have problems with organizing space. - Fireplace.
Below we will talk about electric fireplaces. Many fireplaces have features such as a humidifier and heating. Such electric fireplaces will be especially useful. Fireplace portals can be designed in different stylistic directions. If the fireplace you choose does not fit the overall style of the living room, then the overall impression of the entire room may suffer greatly. When choosing a fireplace, it is very important not to overdo it with creativity. It is also very important to keep the sizes consistent. If you have large walls with high ceilings, you need a matching fireplace. If you choose a model with a small portal, it will look awkward and lonely.
Subtleties of hall design in white
The choice of palette dictates a simple percentage ratio: 60-30-10. 60% is allocated to the main color, 30 to additional colors, and 10 to accents. So that interior items do not get lost against the background of snow-white design, accents are needed. What can they highlight?
In the living-dining room, a dining group in a blue or purple hue will immediately mark the place for a dinner party. Cinnamon-colored flowerpots placed on the sides of a sofa or armchair highlight the elegance of white furniture.
Accents help to attract attention, highlight objects against the general background, and create a visual picture that is pleasing to the eye. Contrasts play an important role here. Let's talk about them.
Kitchen-living room
Today, many people are increasingly removing the wall between the living room and the kitchen. This is especially true for small rooms. This creates a spacious and bright room. However, such a solution will not be appropriate in all cases. Today this option has more and more fans, which is why we will discuss it in more detail.
Kitchen-living room design
. It is not at all necessary to stop at one bright accent, because there can be several of them.
A combined kitchen and living room automatically provides a bright and spacious space with at least two windows. This combination fills the room with air and light. Also, another advantage of this solution is the large dining area, which not every kitchen has. By the way, when choosing a dining table, it is very important to take into account each family member; you need to allocate approximately 70 cm for one.
Ideas for the kitchen-living room
Interior styles and white color
Scandinavian style
Most designers note that interest in Scandinavian style has increased recently. It is based on the following factors:
- light shades become fundamental;
- organization of maximum coverage;
- the use of natural accents and natural materials.
Scandinavian style combines natural materials and light colors. This creates an atmosphere of lightness and weightlessness. You can increase lighting by properly designing window openings. Among the natural materials, wood is recommended for this style.
Design with white walls
Loft
The loft style is easy to recreate in the kitchen and dining room. In front of the sink is a table with a stove, drawers and a countertop. Colors will be added by the upper wall cabinets and the hood with glass fronts. The interior is completed by a round white table and chairs made of transparent plastic.
High tech
Feng Shui fans claim that white belongs to the Metal element. Namely, chrome and shiny elements give high-tech a special charm! It is recommended to combine white with gray, black, and red. Other shades can also be used emphatically.
Minimalism
From the name of the style it follows that it does not tolerate anything unnecessary. White walls do not commit to anything and do not express anything - this is the simplest color that best expresses the spirit of minimalism.
Mediterranean
Ideal for well-lit areas. White combines favorably with blue, beige, blue, and brown. Choose shades that are close to natural. Bright prints and elegant jewelry will help brighten up the atmosphere.
Monochrome interior
Another example of using not only stucco and molding, but also architectural elements that change the shape of the room. Among other things, the white walls are balanced by a black ceiling, with which the room immediately becomes a bedroom and a welcoming one.
Marble interior
Keep in mind that paint, tile, and even wall paneling are not all wall decor options. Natural stone or porcelain tiles can also be white, but with small splashes of color. For example, marble can be a great idea for white walls.
Country style interior
A white brick wall can be used not only in a loft-style interior. It fits perfectly into any rustic setting and pairs well with wood, massive beams and parquet flooring. Together they create a cozy, rustic atmosphere.
Bedroom-living room
It is not always possible to find a living room combined with a bedroom. For large families, this option is unlikely to be relevant. But young owners of small apartments have something to think about. In order to zone a room and highlight the living and sleeping areas, a regular shelving unit is suitable. The shelving will not take away natural light and will provide additional storage space.
Bedroom design with living room
. Excellent layout of a combined bedroom with a living room for a one-room apartment.
White brick wall
A white brick wall is traditionally an element of the design of industrial styles - loft, industrial, but this does not limit its scope. In the kitchen, a brick wall above the work area can perfectly coexist with rustic and even romantic styles. In the room, white brick framing the doorway and fireplace will be the final element of the classic, Victorian and even chalet style in combination with logs and beams.
Living room-office
If you have a modest-sized apartment, then you probably know how difficult it is to find a decent place for your desk. Often the desk in such apartments is located in the living room or bedroom. When choosing its location and size for a one-room or two-room apartment, you should proceed from how often you will use it. If you have a laptop, then just choose a table with a width of 50-60 cm, and if you have a desktop computer, then choose a model with a tabletop of at least 70 cm.
Living room design
. This project shows how we used color to make wall shelves almost invisible. And the bright upholstery of the chair made an ordinary chair an accent spot in the soft pastel living room.
I present to your attention several convenient layouts with a work area in the living room.
1. Place the desktop in the far corner of the room. Not a bad solution if you don’t constantly need to be at your desk. To enclose the room, we recommend using a shelving unit or a decorative screen.
2. Spacious workplace near the window. This arrangement is perfect for people working from home. A desktop with an extended window sill is a good option for placing a desktop computer. And for elongated rooms there is another advantage of this option - the room will visually become wider.
3. Workplace hidden in a closet. A great solution to hide a desk with creative clutter. After work, you can immediately clean your workplace.

What does a modern white living room design look like?
This color is chosen not only for decorating the room itself. It is suitable for decorative elements and furniture. Most often it is used for living rooms. After all, this is where you spend time after a hard day at work. A sense of coziness, comfort and relaxation is created; bright paintings will add coziness.
Contrasting inclusions add nobility and luxury to the white interior
A bedroom made in snow-white tones will allow you to gain strength and relax. With the help of paintings and photographs you can add a little romanticism. It is believed that they add sterility to the bathroom. But it’s better not to use it, since it’s easily soiled and you’ll have to do constant cleaning. If the kitchen has a modern style, then white is ideal. When used as a floor covering, even a small room will visually expand, become more airy and lighter.
A living room with white walls requires careful cleaning. Therefore, surfaces must be level for easy cleaning. Difficult care is compensated by the beautiful interior and comfort.
Air conditioner
in the living room white room
When choosing a place to place the air conditioner, it is very important to take into account where the flow of cooled air coming from it will be directed. It should not get on people sitting at a table or on a sofa. However, keep in mind that how far you place the indoor air conditioner unit from the window will determine how much it will cost you to install it. If you have to increase the price for installation, the price of the installation will rise noticeably.
Air conditioner indoor unit
- not the most attractive detail in the interior and you always want to disguise it somehow so that it is not too noticeable. A white block on a white wall is easier to hide. :).
We propose to consider the three most common options for the location of the air conditioner.
1. The indoor unit fits well above the door - excellent placement of the air conditioner!
2. The location of the air conditioner is close to the window. This option is especially good for those who want to save on a strobe for air conditioner communications.
3. Poor location of the indoor unit. Cold air from the air conditioner blows onto the sofa and the people sitting there.
Use in different stylistic directions
All shades of white in the interior were popularized by America and Europe in the 20s and 30s. In that era, this color was a symbol of aristocracy and prosperity, a sign of luxury and wealth. In the emerging minimalist interiors of the 60s, it was used in a different capacity - emphasizing the laconicism and functionality of spacious spaces in rooms with a minimum amount of furniture. This color is an expression of comfort and naturalness.
Scandinavian style is unthinkable without white. Coming from cold Scandinavia, where there is night more often than day, Scandinavian style carries light shades like a dream of light.
Minimalism is the aesthetics of laconic contrast with black. Straight strict lines, a minimum of decor, a minimum of design - white perfectly copes with the tasks assigned to it.
White copes well with the role of forming a single space in modernity. In this direction it is necessary to combine several dynamic, deep, saturated colors, and without it it can be difficult to do this.
White will be the ideal backdrop for modern contemporary art. Cheerful, without strict restrictions and rules, contemporary music burst into our lives just a few years ago. Elements of all styles are perfectly combined here and only harmony, comfort and functionality are important.
White will soften the realm of metal and glass in high-tech and industrial. Light blinds and decorative elements will bring comfort to the technical style.
Lighting
in a white living room
This issue needs to be given special attention. After all, it is the lighting sources that will determine how cozy and comfortable the room will be. Think about several different lighting sources at once.
Living room lighting
. Minimalistic lamps harmonize with the brick wall. They are all in the same loft style, although from different collections.
Lamps
- are part of the decor and should look harmonious with the overall interior of the living room. Today it is very fashionable to use several lamps from different collections in one room, but in the same style. It is desirable that the living room have local, main and intimate light. Don't forget that as the lighting changes, the atmosphere of the room also changes.
overhead light
- is the main type of lighting. This includes a task light and chandelier. By working light we mean spotlights. Note that often a chandelier is used not to provide bright lighting, but as a decoration for the living room.
Toward the local light
include various sconces, table lamps and floor lamps. However, as for sconces, everything is a little more complicated here, because finding a suitable model for a modern interior will be very difficult. As an alternative, it is best to use stylish lamps.
Intimate light
- this includes garlands and candles. Interior garlands mean those that shine with a warm, even light. With their help you can make your living room more comfortable. Also, such garlands are considered an excellent alternative to a night light.
Candles
. Here we will talk about choosing candles. Light candles with a matte or rough surface will best fit into a living room interior in white colors.
Zoning
. To visually divide the space in a combined room, you can use lamps. In the living room combined with the kitchen, it is necessary to provide working lighting in the cooking area and several pendant models above the dining area or bar counter. Also, don’t forget about the living area, which should have main and local light. Place cozy lamps behind the sofa and a beautiful floor lamp near the chair.
Selection of furniture and textiles
For a formal and chic atmosphere, furniture made of wood or plastic is ideal; you can also use MDF. In a large, spacious white living room, a corner sofa with armchairs will look great, which will accommodate the whole family. For a small room, a small sofa and several comfortable poufs are good. This way, the space will not be too cluttered, but functionality will remain.
If you need to visually enlarge the room, use a light leather sofa, a bleached oak table, a carved sideboard, a compact chest of drawers, a wardrobe with mirrored surfaces and a light modular wall. White furniture in the living room interior expands the space and adds the missing volume.

A truly expensive and luxurious look is given to the room by the combination of dark furniture and a white background. The play of contrasts will turn an ordinary living room into a noble, chic room.

An elegant chandelier on a long pendant is perfect as a lighting fixture for a monochrome interior. Lamps on the walls with metal shades will provide local lighting and create volume. The rich decoration of the room with antique furniture, expensive vases, rare paintings and an abundance of antiques will be harmoniously complemented by a chic crystal chandelier.

Near upholstered furniture you can place a rug with a pleasant texture, for example, with long pile. An excellent option would be to choose zebra colors. This combination is suitable for a monochrome interior, as it looks discreet and elegant.

Textiles should be selected in the same colors as the general color background. The texture will depend on the style of the room. Light-colored furniture must be covered with blankets or special covers in order to maintain an attractive and clean appearance for as long as possible.
The color of the curtains can be chosen to match the walls, or you can choose a pattern that matches the furniture and other details. Shiny curtains with tints of light beige or grayish shades will perfectly complement the interior of a white living room. Even black fabric cannot spoil the overall look of a monochrome design. It is only important to correctly calculate the proportions for the accent.

Modern style in the living room
Modern style is interesting and multifaceted. It will look appropriate even in small rooms. It can be described in two words – conciseness and simplicity. This style is incredibly functional and beautiful.
Modern living room design
. Modern style is characterized by clear geometric lines and patterns.
Signs of style
. The main colors in modern interior style are considered to be gray, white, beige and black. To prevent the interior from becoming boring, use bright accents. Large paintings and posters will be especially relevant in this style. Please note that you should not overdo it with decorative items. They should be in moderation and combined with the overall style of the room. Furniture should be chosen that is comfortable and practical. Stick to minimalism and you can't go wrong.

White will pair with any other color. In such a living-dining room you can put at least exquisite ruby-colored armchairs in a neoclassical style, or a light green or blue dining group. Contrasts will do their job: the space will sound with the voices of the chosen tones. Therefore, talking about accent furniture is, first of all, a story about the mood that you want to create.
Blue and black armchairs near the fireplace will bring a sense of calm. Green upholstery will refresh the interior and set the mood for a light and relaxed conversation. Orange and yellow tones will make you smile even on a cloudy day. What about black?
Stylish black and white living room design
The predominance of light colors and high ceilings make the space of this living room in black and white style limitless; you can even do without curtains.
The duet of black and white in the interior is a sign of the good taste and style of the home owners. This is a universal design, in demand in modern styles due to its laconicism and minimalism.
Black is used to decorate walls and floors. It emphasizes the strict shape of tables and chests of drawers, the curves of corner sofas and armchairs. Black can be used in the form of small but interesting details: openwork furniture legs or metal shades.
To add a graphic touch to the living room interior, designers use black elements of regular geometry. Thus, straight lines of dark marble outline the floor of the room, and moldings on the ceiling make the space visually longer and more beautiful. White furniture against this floor will add elegance to the living room.
Neoclassical style in the living room
Our clients love to choose delicate neoclassicism to decorate their living room. This style cannot be described in a few words. Simply put, this is a well-known classic with a modern twist. "Carriage screed", intricate lighting fixtures, wall moldings and watercolor shades sum up the neoclassical style.

Signs of style
. Neoclassical and classical style adheres to symmetry in the arrangement of furniture and various decorative items. In a neoclassical interior, complex furniture facades, wall moldings, stucco molding, draped curtains and curtains will be relevant.

White living room: choosing the shade of furniture
The design of a room with white furniture can include textiles in a contrasting shade.
A white living room asks for a leather sofa that is a tone darker or lighter than the main color scheme of the room. This move is logical: furniture in the same palette as the interior helps create a harmonious and calm environment. These living rooms are designed for quiet relaxation with a book and a cup of hot coffee.
The mood of such an interior will be continued by tables and poufs with forged legs in the color of the main palette. A white oak tabletop will complete the aristocratic ambience of the interior, set by the furniture. All that remains is to add contrasting textiles in the form of sofa pillows and bedspreads to make the interior richer in detail.

10 Living Room Decor Tips
Floor
Some home owners want light-colored carpeting. In recent years, glossy finishes have gained popularity. The advantage of gloss is that the space visually expands, but the disadvantage is the additional load during cleaning. Dirt and dust are visible on light shades, but the glossy surface reflects all prints - from animal paws to barefoot prints.
White tiles as a covering are not so common. But it keeps you cool all year round, so you can’t do without carpeting. The ideal combination is the dark color of the flooring with the light colors of the room. You can see a photo of the white living room below

- classical. In addition to soft shades of white (milk, ivory, sand, cream), this interior boasts gilded or silver decor, plaster stucco, classic-looking moldings, massive picture and mirror frames, etc.;
