Brightly colored accents in white interiors is one of the top decorating trends for 2019. This white room is not classic but is alive with color. A white interior is completely versatile and it's decor can be very refreshing and relaxing but, at the same time, can also become monotonous. That’s why it’s good to have some color as well. You can either create a modern sophisticated feeling or make a energetic, colorful, artistic impact. Your white walls can be your canvas for wonderful pops of bright color and texture. Think "art museum" with you as the painter. New York’s museums and galleries, from The Met to The Whitney, and The Museum of Modern Art still remain, for the most part, stark white so the wonderful bright colors and artwork can be spotlighted.
As much as I love white, we all need a little color in our lives. This is why I love the idea of white interiors adorned with accents of a bright color or "islands of eccentricity" to quote Cat Weaver from Gallery Intell. Usually, the pop of color that is introduced in a white room becomes the focal point of that area. So think carefully before you get to work.
One of my favorite interiors is a classic white room with bright colored accents. It is a great way to mix modern with antique.

My home is old world and I am an antique collector. However a home with white walls and bright accents, artwork, and antiques would be my second choice.
Gorgeous space by Jeffrey Bilhuber with white walls and bright accents. I like to call these rooms "crayon box whites".
Don’t think white walls have to be boring, they give you the opportunity to add bright color in different ways with colorful and busy rugs, patterns, pillows, accessories, furniture, etc. If you want to liven up a neutral room ASAP, one of the ways is to add brightly colored artwork.
If you have a room that is predominately white, one of the neatest and most unique ways to decorate is through a pop of color. That’s because this decorating idea will draw the eye, create impact, and add something attractive to the space.

Black is such a good accent when using pops of bright color in an all white room.
Adding bright color through accents is a really fun way to liven and brighten a very neutral color palette........
especially since there are so many brightly colored accent pieces out there to choose from.

You can start with hanging colorful art on your white walls. Then bring the colors off the walls and onto your furnishings and floors.

Even vintage interiors with white walls are becoming more colorful through pretty accents and art.
Paint some mismatched colored chairs and add lots of interesting brightly colored pillows to your all white room. These accents will certainly breath life into the room.

On the white flooring you can throw down some bright color rugs and again add some well place pillows. This will create an airy, spacious and cheerful space.

Bright color patterns add surprise and a twist to white interiors because it is so unexpected.

If you want to do something dramatic and beautiful in a white room, make sure you always incorporate colorful artwork. I love the art gallery style of this room.

Rooms can look fresh and modern with just the right amount of colorful accents. A few smart pops of color make all the difference in a neutral room.

Remember it doesn't have to be just one pop. A variety of bright, primary colors can really liven up a room. See how pretty a white or cream classically designed room can look with color. The French style room doesn't have to be tone on tone !

I can't stress enough that art is one of the best ways to make the space pop with color whether it is the only splash in the room or it works with other pieces of decor.
Your brights can be solid.....
.....or patterned like this sofa.
White kitchens with bright accents are becoming trendy. It's a fun place to try out some color. Yours can be modern.....
or vintage. White walls with color is a great look for any style kitchen.

I love the open shelves with the variety of colored glassware.
Accessories like books and other collectibles can provide all the color a white room needs.

Pink and yellow your favorite colors this year? Next year it might be orchid and orange. The beauty of bringing color into your white interiors through pillows is that you can just swap them out for other colors anytime you want.
Current and brightly colored mix of antiques and modern furniture give this white space a stylish and lighthearted feel.

This is definitely a style to have fun with.
Fun splashes of color that work so well on the white backdrop, are softened by the beautiful wooden bench.
