Fresh, crisp white walls have always been popular, but keep in mind that all whites are not the same. Depending on the natural light that flows into the room as well as the interior lighting used at night, the color white can change from warm and inviting to cold and stark. Here are three points to consider before painting your walls white.
1. Avoid that sterile hospital look White is associated with cleanliness, which is why many kitchen and bathroom walls are painted white. However, white walls paired with white trim and white cabinets can seem boring and sterile. Creating some texture on the walls with paintable beadboard wallpaper can increase the visual appeal of the room.
2. Classic, formal and refined The age of your house as well as its architectural style may create the “need” for white walls. For example, houses that are decorated with antiques and more formal furnishings often draw attention to the interior decor by having a neutral white background. Ultramodern houses with dramatic architectural lines and curves also appear more prominent against simple white walls.
3. White expands spaces White walls make rooms appear larger and lighter. Small bedrooms, baths and closets can benefit from this optical illusion. It’s also valuable to keep white in mind when you’re getting your house ready to sell and want to make the best impression on potential buyers.
