White may be one of the most avoided colors when it comes to picking a couch, due to fears that it will easily stain and quickly lose its freshness. However, seeing what a striking feature a white couch makes in Jennifer Aniston's home is enough to convince any doubter that it's worth a try. Plus, with the help of durable materials and washable covers, you can keep yours looking just as pristine as Jen's – she even lets her dogs sit on hers, which is a testament to how livable it can be.
For those still wondering 'is a white couch a good idea?' I've tracked down some expert advice on how to make this bold choice work in your living room, both aesthetically and practically. Plus, I've rounded up a selection of white couches with different looks, including this IKEA couch for less than $500, as well as some pieces to style them with, inspired by Jennifer Aniston's open-plan living room, such as this glass coffee table (at Bed Bath & Beyond), to convince you to give it a try.
