Choosing white paint seems pretty straightforward but the journey to choosing the right white for your space can make your head dizzy. At the end of the day, the key to choosing the right white is knowing which undertone you need for your space, warm (yellow) or cool (blue). Then of course there's the perfect neutral white which is its own thing.
These are the top things to consider when choosing the right white for your space:
1. Lighting - are you blessed with loads of natural light or a small amount?
2. Is your home modern or traditional?
3. Are you painting the interior or exterior?
4. The undertones of your existing flooring
Traditional homes suit warmer shades of white and modern homes cooler whites. This is all linked with the type of lighting these types of homes typically have.
Modern homes tend to have more windows and thus more natural light, while traditional or heritage style homes have less natural light so benefit from a warmer shade of white.
If you're looking for the perfect shade of white for your homes exterior, a cooler shade always triumphs as it's crisp, neutral and works with a variety of colour schemes.
