White couches are trendy and make a stunning statement piece for your living room. They go well with pretty much every aesthetic and are very pleasing to the eye.
They’ll make your home look like something straight from Pinterest, which is the ultimate achievement. But are they functional?
A couch is something that gets used daily, so the ugly truth about a white couch is that you’ll have to constantly clean it to maintain its bright, crisp color.
Buying a white Sofa is usually not recommended, especially when you have kids or pets. Of course, if you love to live dangerously, by all means, go ahead and purchase the dazzling white decor piece.
But if you’re on the fence about getting a white sofa, here are some reasons you should pick a different-colored couch. The all-white sofa isn’t as great as everyone makes it out to be anyway.
Besides visual appeal, white couches don’t add much to your home. They’re not worth the hassle it takes to keep clean.
Plus, they’re just plain impractical. You’ll spot grime and hair on it right away. Also, did you know that newer blue jeans can stain the white fabric?
If you’re okay with that, be ready for your white couch to take on a bluish hue. If you’re not okay with that, it’ll probably drive you crazy.
Because you can’t just toss your whole sofa in the washing machine, investing in a white slipcover will help protect your sofa from various spills and stains.

Even so, cleaning that slipcover will be a tedious task. You definitely will not feel like washing slipcovers as much as you need to. And messes will pop up every day, from strands of hair to pen marks.
After all your cleaning efforts, you probably will be reluctant to sit on your couch for fear of dirtying it up again. And you don’t want a sofa you can’t lounge on. Otherwise, what’s the point?
Having a white couch can also prevent your home from being a cozy and inviting place. Guests may feel uneasy about sitting on your white furniture. Some guests might rather sit on the floor rather than risk contaminating your pristine white seating.
Furthermore, interior design trends are shifting away from minimalistic looks to more colorful styles. White couches make your home feel stark and cold.
For a more warm and welcoming vibe, opt for a darker-colored couch. If you really want to include white, use it as an accent for throw pillows and blankets.
So, in conclusion, think twice about white!
