The meaning behind whitewashed walls is a little obscure yet with a well-defined sense. Usually, wood-paneled walls or basically any other type of wall can be treated with white wash which is a whiting mixture. This gives the walls a fresh and clean look which is also intentionally superficial. Next, find out how whitewashed walls can help you achieve an inviting and peaceful décor for your home.

Probably the best place where you can use this wall treatment is the bedroom. The light and simple look suits the room perfectly and allows it to remain warm and cozy even with a color palette based on white.

Whitewashed walls are extremely versatile and can transform any part of the house into a peaceful spot. For example, here the accent walls match the floor in terms of color and complement the overall décor wonderfully.
