White Paint Tips

Interior Design Tips
Written By Megan Jagasia

Selecting the right white paint can feel overwhelming—there are countless shades, each with subtle differences that can dramatically impact a room’s look and feel. Whites can have warm, cool, or neutral undertones, and may lean towards cream, grey, or brighter tones. Understanding these nuances helps create a cohesive and inviting space.

Tips for Choosing the Right White

  • Lighting: Natural and artificial light changes how white appears. Brighter whites can make darker rooms feel lighter and more spacious.

  • Room Size: Smaller rooms benefit from brighter whites to feel more open; larger rooms may suit softer, warmer shades.

  • Room Function: Warm whites create a cosy feel in bedrooms, neutral whites work well for home offices, and cool whites suit modern or gym spaces.

  • Interior Style: Cool-based whites complement modern interiors, while warmer or cream tones suit traditional styles.
