How to Choose the RIGHT White Paint for YOUR HOME!! All my favorite WHITE PAINT TONES!!

Hey guys!! Today I am going to be talking all about white paint and how to choose the best white paint for your home!! Over the years of being an interior designer I have come to fall in love with a handful of white paint tones. I keep finding myself going back to them in my home and in my client's homes. Everyone's style is just a little different, so you will need to learn what paint speaks to you. My hope with this video is to help you find a little clarity in how to choose white paint and what sets certain paints apart from each other.
I know paint can be a complicated topic, so let me know if you have any questions!

I love how you explained the reasons as to why you used certain shades for certain areas!

[@victoriasmith6878]

Oh my goodness! I’m so glad you posted this, I’ve been trying to decide for my house!

[@rbarbrosey]

I'm so glad you added the reason for using China White. That's exactly what I've been looking for. I don't like lines at the ceiling with angles either. Thank you so much love your videos!

[@DesignLovesDetail]

Thank you and so glad you found what you were looking for with this video! 🥰

[@jenniferwells3600]

So helpful!!! Thank you as I'm getting ready to paint a whole house and want to be budget conscious. Now I'm feeling good about going one color.

[@DesignLovesDetail]

Oh great! So glad it could be helpful! 😘

[@emmyrose1802]

Loved your video.

[@pattygilligan9988]

Great advice... mollie can you do a video on how to make your house look expensive on a budget?

[@beatricealcaraz5799]

Loved your video, what colors would you recommend for kitchen with espresso cabinets? Really need some advice , do you ever use Home Depot paints?

[@kristyrash927]

This is exactly what I need right now. Thank you. New subscriber here! You have great content. I’m surprised you don’t have more subscribers.

[@DesignLovesDetail]

Oh thank you! So glad it was helpful 😘

[@mfitzgerald2288]

Love the review. I am looking to use China White in my home because of its versatility. I have a craftsman style home and it has deluxe crown molding. Should I use a different trim? What would you recommend?

[@Maria-eh6eq]

Very informative video you got here. I decided to go for white dove (egg shell) for my basement wall. I just dont know what will go nice for the trim? Should I stick to white dove (semi gloss) for trim? Appreciate your input. Thanks

[@Ebun22]

Great tips! Did you go for a Matt finish on your cabinets? I’ve chosen Shaded white to repaint my kitchen cabinets but am unsure which finish to go for. Thanks!

[@sarah_hina]

I really like BM sea pearl as a nice saturated white that isn’t yellow under toned

[@rigoo.b]

Would like to know some good Sherwin Williams white paints!

[@juliestenger4853]

I was wondering that too.

[@bnb0510]

Agree!

[@luckyu521]

I would suggest pure white or alabaster for SW

[@marianaconstantinou127]

Great video!!! Thanks so much!!! Just a quick question: would it be a mistake if we painted the sealing neutral white while the walls warmer tones of white? I know this is not good if one has white furniture but does the same apply for walls and seeling?

[@greenivy6580]

Super helpful as that will be a big decision in a month or two when we get drywall in place. Our floors are a white oak driftwood color and we want all the walls to be white with nickel gap on the ceiling in the main living space. Fingers crossed we will find one that will work as I know it is so hard to find the perfect white.

[@DesignLovesDetail]

So glad it is helpful!! Sounds like you’re in the thick of it so tons of fun!

[@modusbee9092]

I love your idea of painting walls, ceiling and trim all in China White. But what sheen did you use?

[@abdulmunir2306]

Hi thank you for you beautiful and informative video.could you pls tell me China white we can use on wall and roof ad well?and change the colour of the door and skating is it look nice?thanks 😊

[@user-iv6ty3cd5i]

Impossible to find farrow ball paint? Would love to know a trim color to work with China white. I just painted a flipper with China white and white dove trim and wasn’t crazy about the trim being same color. Any suggestions? Ty!

[@cosmos9000]

I’m using White Dove for my Kitchen cabinets what trim color should I use…Chantilly Lace? I’m also using Super White flat for my ceilings.

[@nikkimania]

great video! could I kindly ask what white or off-white color would you recommend for 2 of my rooms? 1. a north west facing bedroom (one window) that will be converted into a white built in closet for filming content? 2. A south west facing bedroom, one window both rooms have Shaw, desert light carpet (neutral color) its been very difficult to find a video for north west and south west rooms. Thanks in advanced for your help!

[@hocineted7594]

Which color is better to paint balcony railing ? chantilly lace by Benjamin Moore or high reflective white by sherwin Williams ?

[@martinebisson143]

Wich paint white for trims with white dove walls ?

[@syl1382]

What white paint color would you recommend I use to go with revere pewter? I did a picture frame wall look in my office and I wanted to paint that wall something different then the surrounding 3 walls that are in revere pewter. Please help 😊 I want the “white” wall look.

[@gracetorres5860]

What color are the cabinets in the laundry room when you talked about the white dove paint? That combo of light gray/white dove is beautiful. I would like to copy that. This channel has been so helpful in my DIY master bath remodel. I have ordered so many things from your recommendations. I really appreciate your content and love your style!

[@DesignLovesDetail]

Hi Grace! Thank you very much! I am happy to hear my channel has been a help! The cabinet color is Farrow & Ball Pigeon. Here is a blog post with more info on that project: www.designlovesdetail.com/dldtraditionalmodern-client-remodel-project-reveal/

[@gracetorres5860]

@@DesignLovesDetail Thank you so much! Really appreciate it! I watched your shop online for an entire bathroom. I purchased a lot from that video as well as the shower tiles and floor tiles, from build with Ferguson. I am trying to come up with a light gray paint color to paint the cabinets. I'm going to check this one out to see if it will go. Wishing you the best!

[@user-xs1gv3ct2x]

I am trying to pick a white that will go with my white cabinets and white quartz countertops with gray flecks in it. My furniture is a blue gray as well as the rug with different grays and blues. I currently have a blue gray paint with an lrv of 66 and it looks very dark and very blue. I feel like when I walk into my home my walls, rug and furniture all run together. I am really wanting to lighten everything up. What white would you recommend with the cool tones in my countertops and furniture? Thank you so much

[@elsiejasel]

Have you used Dove Wing by Benjamin Moore? Looks pretty

[@rhondabenizzi4607]

At 1:38 when you are discussing White Dove, what color are the cabinets?

[@anuvratadwarakanath6638]

Great content..very informative..but something about the lighting or exposure of the videos makes it hard to see the objects in its original saturation in some frames..I rewatch some videos to get more inspiration hence I’m nitpicking 😊 would love to see more on how you incorporate functionality without compromising on style and design!

[@DesignLovesDetail]

Thanks for the feedback. We’ll see what we can do! 😘

[@ClineFamilyof5]

When you use the same color for the walls, ceiling and trim, what sheens do you use?

[@DesignLovesDetail]

I did eggshell on all of them to keep the cost down in this project but normally I do flat on the ceilings, eggshell walls and satin on trim.

[@victoriataylor519]

Would super white trim compliment China white walls?

[@creasoncrew174]

What white would you recommend for northern facing rooms?Trying to brighten up our living room as it doesn't get much light.

[@DesignLovesDetail]

I would try White Dove or Simply White, both by Benjamin Moore. They’re brighter tones but still have a little warmth.

[@lorip5677]

Great video! Random question but where are those gray with white stripe decorative pillows from? The ones behind you in this video.

[@DesignLovesDetail]

Thanks! Unfortunately, those pillows are from the Studio McGee collection at Target and were discontinued. 😞

[@lorip5677]

@@DesignLovesDetail Thanks for replying!

[@decoratingwithbarbara8125]

Thanks for the tips. Sounds like china white is a good choice for me. My walls are Revere Pewter, and I'm planning in painting my MB white. If I use China White on the walls, do I use the same color on the trim but in a different finish?

[@adrienneandmike]

Wondering also.....

[@DesignLovesDetail]

Hi there! With the trim I would say if you want a more traditional look, you could go with the Benjamin Moore super white paint for trim color, or if you want a more simple/organic/modern type look then I’d do the trim same color as walls. With our remodel home I actually did the trim & the walls both in the eggshell finish and have been happy with it. If I do a different color trim I usually use satin trim and eggshell for walls

[@amisharickpatel129]

[@bnb0510]

No Sherwin Williams colors?

[@calebj0682]

Any experience with Sherwin Williams Alabaster?? That’s the color we had though about going with

[@DesignLovesDetail]

I’ve heard of it but haven’t ever used it.

[@tngalvols1184]

What's about Bohemian lace

[@wendyjones94]

What is your go to white paint for ceilings

[@DesignLovesDetail]

Benjamin Moore Super White in the flat finish 😘

[@raebae7270]

Hi there! Great video. I was wondering if you had a suggestion on which white would be best, in your opinion, to pain our accent wall with square trim work. We have Sherwin Williams Light French Grey on the other walls. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you!

[@DesignLovesDetail]

Hello! I actually think the Benjamin Moore super white paint would give some good contrast with that!

[@jhickox]

All the videos of mansions i watch have the same white interior color, but i cant figure out what color it is.

[@kathrynp7595]

Is super white also Benjamin Moore brand? Does it look good on kitchen cabinets ? Thanks for the info 😁

[@DesignLovesDetail]

Yes, it is Benjamin Moore. Heres a blog post where we used it on cabinets in a client project 😘 www.designlovesdetail.com/dldnewclassicremodel-client-project-reveal/

[@kathrynp7595]

👍🏼

[@beatricealcaraz5799]

Do you know if this white from Benjamin Moore like the Lowe’s ultra white? do you know of nice light grey for kitchen

[@SS11660]

Wish you had mentioned the lighting with these paints.

[@francescareese7118]

My home is Aesthetic White by SW.... a very subtle greige can lean a subtle, but not creamy off white and also in some times of day can be an extremely subtle warmer gray.... all trim is pure white and I am in a HUGE quandary as I do want a warmer white kitchen cabinetry (going to have my wood cabinets and island painted) and this is tough and I don't want a blue nor green nor pink undertone and want to lean greige/white, but with the aesthetic white I'm concerned..... I feel the cabinets need to be a hint darker... yet I still want them light in color as the home is minimalistic and open. Any ideas what I can try??? Wish we had a FB store and we don't!!!! So BM or ?

[@gigijenn225]

What color cabinets did you go with? I am having a similar delima on what to choose

[@francescareese7118]

@@gigijenn225 Hi, In the process right now... I went with the same color as the walls... it's an open area to the family room and eat in kitchen. I read numerous articles and it seems as some did the whole area in one white tone so it, "flowed". I have all white/white trim/crown, etc......I ended up doing that vs. making a huge mistake. Colors I seriously considered though were Benjamin White Dove and Benjamin Simply white if you want to google them and see... they don't appear to (from my experience testing them) pull any crazy other colors like pink, blue or green. I love Aesthetic White due to the tiny hint of gray in some lighting... and it's very, very minor and doesn't show up at all on some walls due to outdoor light being less.

[@ac7384]

You reccomend matte or satin for walls. There is no eggshell in the paint I’m looking at. Emerald

[@thekirksiffs5285]

We just had our entire first floor painted Benjamin Moore Chantilly lace and I love it!

[@Talletc]

[@BRAVEONPRECIOUS]

White Dove turned contractors primer GRAYISH on my open space high ceilings south facing interior. Awful flat white. Don’t see why people like it

[@goodmorningbeautifulhumans1638]

There is no S in ANYWAY.

[@dhrtiwalter8670]

No cool whites🤔
