10 Wonderful Ways to Colorize a White-Walled Room
White walls can be a great backdrop for big color. Here are some fun ideas to inspire those of you who are staring at white walls and are stumped on where to begin. Trust me: They're a good thing.
1. Go with bold color in lighting.
This dining space feels so bright and colorful with really just one
color accent and bright white walls. Drama comes in via twin chandeliers
in a bold turquoise, repeated in the chairs and curtains.

5. Paint an interior door a bright color. I
just love this out-of-the-box move. The bright red really pops against
the white walls. Oh yeah, while you're at it, use high-gloss paint!

6. Use lots of colorful tile in the bathroom. A
colorful accent wall of tile works really well in this modern bathroom.
The best tile design is simple and has few transitions; bold color is
perfect in this seamless application.

8. Have fun with upholstery fabrics.
A room with white walls can definitely take lots of color in fabrics.
Natural sunlight helps, too. Select three complementary colors and
repeat them in pillows, art and accessories.

10. Let the color from the surrounding landscape shine through.
If you have bright white walls and no privacy issues, consider skipping
window treatments. The surrounding landscape can provide great color
and texture, and it's always changing. Just be careful with fabrics
exposed to direct sunlight; consider weather-resistant fabrics to avoid
fading and damage.
