The Best White Paints To Use – How Do You choose the Right Shade for Your Walls?

The chic simplicity of white paint can never be underestimated! However as simple as using white paint might be it is worth noting that your selection may contain undertones which can enhance or darken the natural light within your interior space. Using our interior expertise we present to you a collection of our top ten best white shades of paint currently available on the market. We have purposefully selected a shade to suit every budget, light enhancing properties and all with a nod to how these colours will look within your interior. White paint is a designers and architects dream, a simple blank canvas in which to showcase a stunning interior.

Did you know?

Tester Pots- is to always use a tester pot, as even colour cards can sometimes prove misleading!

The Right Hue: It can be difficult to articulate the specific undertones in a white shade, especially in light colours. All white colours behave differently, so a good place to start is to use a pure brilliant white and place gentle variations of that hue next to it to reveal their true nature on the walls!

Wood Works: painting woodwork and ceilings can add a subtle contrast and warmth to an all white interior.

10. Farrow and Ball - All White, no: 2005

A totally pure white!

All White is exactly what it says! Unusually, it contains no other pigment except for white, creating the softest most sympathetic colour without the colder blue undertones of a brilliant white. One of Farrow and Ball’s Contemporary Neutrals, All White pairs seamlessly with Skimming Stone and Strong White for a warm scheme with a slight edge. For a clean and almost graphic finish, contrast with fresh, strong tones like Pitch Black and St Giles Blue. We love this understated hue!

9. Little Greene - Loft White No 222
An almost pure white, with light reflective properties. This simple white paint is less harsh than brilliant white and softer on the eye. Create a modern sleek vibe with this ultra contemporary shade.

8. Little Greene: Warm White | White Lead No 74

Warm White paint colours are very easy to coordinate with home furnishings and floors. Use these colours on ceilings and woodwork next to stronger neutrals, red and yellows, or try a combination of two whites to give a subtle depth to a room without it becoming too colourful.

7. Dulux Light and Space White Matt Paint

The all round crowd pleaser with subtle light reflecting properties. This range normally sells out very quickly online due to demand! Dulux Light + Space Matt makes any room feel brighter and more spacious. Its patented LumiTec formulation works with light-reflective particles to reflect up to twice as much light back into your room, when compared to Dulux conventional emulsion paints.

6. Maylands at Designer Paint | Pure White Marble Matt

A hardwearing, wipeable and very high opacity emulsion, the perfect choice for interior and exterior walls and ceilings. This superb sleek white is crisp and bold and the main purpose is to showcase the interior accessories rather than the simplistic walls.

5. Bone White, Fired Earth
Of a soft grey appearance, this organic element has been used over hundreds of years by artists to form a gentle matt ground tone: simple and sophisticated, with a delicate ambiguity of character.

4. Wimborne White, Farrow & Ball

This just off white is named after the market town of Wimborne in Dorset and home to Farrow & Ball. Only a shade away from a pure white, the addition of the smallest amount of warm yellow pigment creates a very versatile shade which is just a little softer than All White.
