White and wood for interiors: 12 amazing proposals for a dream home

When designing the interior of a house, the first choice for the colors of the walls and ceilings is usually white: a neutral color that amplifies the brightness of the spaces, making them also seem more spacious and airy. And when it comes to interior decor details, wood is certainly the preferred material both for structural elements and for furniture or furnishing accessories.

Together, these two elements create a simple and elegant combination that can become the leitmotif (main theme) of the whole house - the one that inspires the color choice of each room. And white can be combined with very light and natural shades of beige or grey, as well as light toned wood. In short, the "white + wood" couple, becomes extremely versatile, and is open to how to combine to suit many different tastes.

Parquet, kitchen furniture and stools all in light tone wood in an environment dominated by white on all other surfaces.

Such a large ceiling would have seemed a bit bare without anything to offset it: the wooden beams give a pleasant, rustic touch to a modern look.

Wood also goes perfectly with natural fibers such as rush, raffia, straw and similar, which can therefore be chosen for furnishing accessories.

When the rooms are very large and full of natural light, even a dark wood goes very well with the white of the walls and furnishings.

White colored wood on the floor, and then more on the wall behind the TV and for the ceiling beams: even if a very light color, the wood stands out very well in a completely white room.

An expanse of wood can also cover just the ceiling, while the rest of the room is painte in varying shades of whites and greys.

It's a combination that really works everywhere, even in the bedroom.

And you could also use wood just for the wall behind the bed itself.

Or, considering that a white room is really just a canvas on which to decorate at will, giving prominence to the wood by choosing a bed structure with showy grain texture is a choice to consider.

In the bathroom, wood is not so popular, since it is a humid environment that puts its integrity at risk, but it is really very beautiful there too.

...even if relegated only to a few small shelves ...

...and look at what a herringbone parquet looks like in a mostly white bathroom.

Would you like to furnish your home using this classic combination?
