Home designers are certainly not strangers to white. From Elsie de Wolfe, decorator to the Frick and the Morgan, to Martha Stewart who encouraged us to “get naked and get back to basics,” white walls have been in style for lifetimes.

But while the minimalist look is on-trend, putting your home decor pedal to the metal with a completely white living room requires a bit of planning. With no texture and contrast, an all white room can feel too sterile and unapproachable. Planning, however, means your decorating can become amazing focal points on your big white canvas: colorful fabric prints or great textures, plush velvet sofas or an awesome side chair.

For the adventurous types…Perhaps you'd prefer to paint your floors white? No matter what, these ideas prove that a white living room can be engaging and fun.
