Bleached furniture ideas with lots of inspiration PLUS different ways to achieve this look!
Hello sweet friends!
It’s no surprise around here that I love light colored wood and the coastal look, right? I live right by the coast so it makes perfect sense for me. However, I do believe you don’t have to live near the coast to love this look.
Bleached wood, light colored wood is really big right now. Or seems to be, huh? I just love the light, classic look of it.
Plus I love seeing the wood grain in the furniture. Don’t get me wrong, I do love paint and painted furniture, for sure, but I love a classic wood piece from time to time too!
If you love this look or have been thinking about giving it a try, I hope this post will provide some inspiration to you. I’ve rounded up 10 different “bleached” projects all in one easy place for you to find them. And not all of them use the same technique. I did varying things to get the looks you see below so be sure to hop over and check out the tutorial on each of them!

I bleached this orangey top SO well I decided to change it! haha! But it would’ve looked great like this with a darker base. I wanted to keep the base white so I opted to change it up a little.

I called this more of a “pickled” wood look. It’s amazing how you can transform these old orangey-oak pieces.
