White is a popular and useful color in furniture and home decor because it’s a neutral color and will work with just about every other color. When white dominates in a room, it creates a clean, open, and modern look, although too much white can make a room look stark. It helps to add accents of other colors. In the 2020s, Coastal style furniture and decor uses white with blue, gray, and beige to create a relaxing atmosphere, similar to a beach house.
