The Best White Paint Colours for Your Home
When it comes to choosing the perfect white paint colour for your home, it can feel overwhelming with so many options to choose from. Some whites have warm undertones, while others have cool undertones. It's important to know the undertones of each paint colour so you can choose the right one for your space. In this blog post, I’ll be discussing four of my favourite white paint colours by Benjamin Moore: Chantilly Lace, Simply White, Swiss Coffee, and White Dove.
Chantilly Lace
Project Ingledale - Birch Point Homes
1. Chantilly Lace
Chantilly Lace is a crisp, clean white and is as close as you are going to get to a “pure” white, meaning it has minimal undertones. It's a great choice for more modern and contemporary spaces. This colour works well in spaces with lots of natural light, as it can brighten up the room even more. Chantilly Lace pairs well with bold colours and can be used as a backdrop for artwork or accent walls. It's also a popular choice for trim and doors.
Simply White
Project Charlotte - Birch Point Homes
2. Simply White
Simply White was named colour of the year in 2015, and is a warm white with a slight yellow undertone. It's a versatile colour that works well in traditional, modern, and transitional spaces. Simply White is a great choice for rooms with little natural light, as it can add warmth to the space. It pairs well with various woods and other creamy tones, making it a great choice for kitchens and bathrooms.
Swiss Coffee

3. Swiss Coffee
Swiss Coffee is a creamy off-white with warm undertones. It's a popular choice for walls and cabinets in kitchens and bathrooms. Swiss Coffee pairs well with natural wood tones and golden hues. This color can also work well in living rooms and bedrooms, as it creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
White Dove

4. White Dove
White Dove is a designer favourite, and is a soft, warm white with a slight grey undertone. It's a versatile colour that works well in traditional and transitional spaces. White Dove is a great choice for walls, trim, and cabinets. It pairs well with other neutrals and can also work well with bolder colours.
Choosing the perfect shade of white can be tricky. It’s important to consider the undertones of each colour and how they will work in your space. Chantilly Lace, Simply White, Swiss Coffee, and White Dove are all great choices, depending on the style and feel you want to achieve. Don't be afraid to try out swatches on your walls and observe how each colour looks in your space before making a final decision.
