Best Warm White Paint Colors That Go with Everything
My last two homes I used these paint colors. I recommend them all the time to my followers. They have used them as well and rave about how good these colors look in their in homes. We are in the process of building a new house and I will be using these paint colors once again.
I love white walls, yet I’m not fond of the stark, cold, and unwelcoming look they can sometimes create. The right shades of paint can brighten a room while still providing a warm and inviting ambiance to your home. Here you can see the before and afters of the living rooms in my last two homes using the same exact paint colors.
For the walls I used Sherwin Williams White Duck 7010 in a Satin finish. For wall finishes, it is highly recommend to opt for satin or eggshell. These finishes are not only durable and easy to clean, but they also offer a subtle, low sheen.
For doors, molding and trim, I used Sherwin Williams Greek Villa 7551. It is on the same color panel at White Duck so they pair nicely together. I recommend a semi-gloss for these surfaces. It has a higher sheen which makes it more durable and the brighter luster looks nice against the satin walls. I would not recommend a gloss, it’s too shiny and will show every little imperfection and brush stroke. For the ceiling, I also went with SW Greek Villa only in a flat finish. Flat finishes are perfect for ceilings and using the same paint color as your crown molding gives you a nice seamless look.
I love paneling in my houses and have added them to a lot of spaces. You may choose a different color, but as I mentioned, my preference is to stick with all white. This is my rule for how I pick what color to go with in each area – trim color or wall color. If the paneling is not on the entire wall, I go with the trim color. For example, this is a picture of my foyer, I added this vertical paneling that went up about 1/3 of the wall, I painted it Greek Villa in semi- gloss finish, the exact same color and sheen as my trim.
If the paneling covers the entire wall, I like to paint it the same color as the wall. My master bedroom for example, I added wood paneling to the entire back wall and painted it SW White Duck in a satin finish. Same as the rest of the walls in this room.
In the kitchen I prefer white cabinets but in other rooms, I don’t mind throwing in a splash of color. This is cabinets in master bathroom and laundry room. For furniture, I love using Fusion All-In-One paint. They have so many beautiful color options. And with great coverage, a built in primer and sealer it really makes quick work of what could feel like a daunting task. It also has a very low sheen which is great for hiding imperfections but is very durable. On the cabinets in both these rooms I used Fusion All-in-one paint in the color Newell.
