Painted white furniture can seem a little bit stark but it is very inexpensive and a classic kind of style. You can really give your room a warmer and more welcoming look no matter where it is in your home without really breaking up your black and white color palette.
An easy way to do this is just to do a faux painting project. You could bring in a set of doors or even a wood top with kind of a marble effect. This is one of the easiest kinds of faux finishes out there. It really can be very whimsical or elegant. It’s a way to give more of a traditional vibe to a home office just by using this on the top of your desk. Oftentimes you use a lot of whites and grays. You should only put this on items where you would traditionally find marble or else this can be extremely easy to tell that it’s not real. For instance marble can be used for desktops, but not necessarily over any items that have a lot of curves or carvings that you wouldn’t find in natural stone so you probably want to start out with a pretty flat kind of surface.
A great way to really liven up your room is with fun light fixtures that can relate back to the color of the painted white furniture. Some of the less expensive items that you might find could be made out of yarn or even seashells. It is important whenever you use an unusual material especially if you are creating this yourself as a knockoff kind of piece that you pay attention to proper safety precautions. However, this is a pretty cheap way to decorate and you really can make everything white in the room feel a lot more whimsical and inviting instantly. These pieces can even be the focal point if you don’t have a lot of other colors or architecture going on in your space.
