How to Decorate With White Furniture & Tan Walls

When decorating a bedroom or living area with white furniture and tan walls, you will want to choose items and decorations that contrast the light nature of the furniture and walls. While you have many choices available, it is important that you create a good contrast between the decorations, unless you are going for a beach theme that uses all whites, tans and blues.

Things You'll Need

• Rug or carpet
• Drapes
• Glass vase or bowl

Instructions

1. Choose a darker rug or carpet to contrast the white furniture in your home. You can also choose a carpet that uses patterns that match the theme of your living area.

2. Purchase darker drapes to offset both the light tan walls and the white furniture. These drapes can be a darker shade of brown or a related color.

3. Consider adding a see-through glass vase with flowers or a bowl of fruit to your white coffee table or side table. This can add some vibrant color to your room.

Tips & Warnings

• If you don't feel like purchasing expensive white furniture, you can always purchase white furniture slipcovers to achieve the same effect.
