i love white paint

Anyone else feel overwhelmed with white paint? There are way too many and to be honest they all look different depending where you use them!

Ive gathered together some of my favorite whites! And a few tips on what to look when choosing a white!

When choosing a white, its pretty tough to go off of a store or online color swatch. Looking for examples of the colors online in spaces is a huge help!
Always gather a few options. You'll notice when you compare whites (or any color) that they all have undertones. Well these undertones come out and really show themselves more when you compare your colors next to one another.
I always like to balance out the colors of a room. Meaning, if Im incorporating a lot of warm toned furniture, maybe my walls have a slightly cooler tone to them. Sometimes warm on warm on warm can just be bland. So having a contrast will balance out the room.

Find different areas and lighting to do sample patches of each color. This will give you a better idea of what it will look like. And give yourself a day or two. As the weather changes and day turns into night, its nice to see what your color will do.

I was so glad I waited a few days when painting the exterior of my house because I was able to see that when the clouds came over some of my whites went way to yellow/warm.

When all else fails, it is just paint. Trust me, I know you only want to do it once... but you won't screw anything up if you hate the color and have to paint again. Hopefully by following these tips you won't have to though!

Here's a list of a few of my favorite whites!
