(Image credit: Future Plc/Dominic Blackmore) It's a delicately warm, classic white that simply works in every room in the house and with every other colour in the spectrum.' 1. 'Amongst the most popular Dulux whites is a shade that lives up to its name – Timeless, £43.18 for 2.5L. Marianne Shillingford, Creative Director at Dulux explains, 'It’s easy to understand why it can be so difficult to choose just the right white for your walls when there is so much choice.' These undertones are amplified by the type of natural light a room gets, and can even be affected by the contents of a room which will reflect onto the walls and change the appearance of the paint hue, something worth thinking about when looking into white bedroom ideas.
Whilst, warm white paints - often chosen for darker north-facing rooms - contain red or yellow undertones.

The best white paint for your walls will depend both on your natural preference toward warm or cool tones, and the aspect of the room you're painting - so whether the windows face north, south, east or west.Ĭool whites, which are generally recommended for south-facing rooms - contain hints of blue, green, or black. Think New White walls and Wimborne White woodwork for gentle simplicity or if you want something more contemporary, School House White and Shaded White add a dose of green/ grey whilst still having warmth.' 'It is a very successful motif to layer whites, especially if from a tonally similar family. Patrick O’Donnell, International Brand Ambassador at Farrow & Ball explains, 'Historically whites and neutrals were pretty much the only choices in interior decoration as colours were prohibitively expensive to use and solely for the great houses.' A nice mid-point could be a very pale taupe like our shade ‘ Mindful', £49.50 for 2.5L, Coat Paints, which has greyish-brown notes that add an earthiness to the white without it feeling magnolia.' Bright whites are naturally quite stark unless you soften it with furnishings, whereas creamier whites are warmer but not quite as crisp.
'The second question to ask is how you want to feel in the space. In most cases, North-facing rooms have a cooler and less intense light, and South-facing rooms are naturally brighter and warmer.' 'Firstly, what direction does the room face? Get the compass out on your phone and check. 'There are two killer questions to ask when it comes to choosing the right white paint', says Aaron Markwell, Colour Curator at Coat Paints.
