8. Work a monochrome palette.

You know there are plenty of different shades of white to choose from, right? The beauty of an all-white bedroom is that you can add in a myriad of different shades to keep the look interesting. Even the wall art in this bedroom designed by Three Birds Renovations has been blasted with a white overlay. Bright white, subtle shades of cream, and a few grayish hues will help to create a monochrome scheme that looks anything but boring.
