Every home inspiration I&#8217;m pinning these days has white walls so despite my trepidation of possibly making the wrong choice, I&#8217;m going to be courageous and go for it. I&#8217;ll be using white&nbsp;throughout the entire home including bathrooms and the kitchen cabinets.

Just to name a few, you have neutral white, bright white, soft white, warm and cool white, diamond white, true white, pure white, cloud white, and the list goes on and on of these tiny variations. And don&#8217;t even get me started on the different types of finish &#8211; the glossy, semi-gloss, matte, and so on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To complicate&nbsp;matters even more, the paint colors all take on various tones in different lighting situations, times of day, and colors of light (i.e. warm light, artificial light, fluorescent light) used in the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-how-to-choose-the-perfect-white-paint\">How To Choose The Perfect White Paint<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>1) Do try out the colors first using stick paint samples. You don&#8217;t ever want to go all in and then hate the color when you look at it and you&#8217;ve already gone too far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2) Paint different parts of the house and look at them&nbsp;at different times of the day. This is SO important for making sure you&#8217;re really in love with the color you choose. Paint a small section of the wall or use sample boards to see how the color looks in different lighting throughout the day. What looks perfect in the morning light might feel too dark or too bold in the evening. Taking the time to test samples can help you feel more confident in your final choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3) Consider the rest of your furniture. You don&#8217;t want anything to clash or feel out of place. Take into account the tones, textures, and styles already in the room. Coordinating your paint or decor choices with existing pieces can help create a more balanced, cohesive look that feels thoughtfully put together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4) Consider the overall &#8220;feel&#8221; and &#8220;warmth&#8221; of the home. Does it feel inviting, comfortable, and lived-in with the color you&#8217;ve chosen? A warm home doesn\u2019t have to be perfect a perfect one, but it should reflect you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is my third time choosing an all-over color for my home (The first time I used light taupe, the second time I used light gray) and I&#8217;m learning that the colors that other bloggers and decorators recommend are usually NOT&nbsp;what I end up going with. Instead, I&nbsp;end up using&nbsp;#2 or #3&nbsp;of my list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think this is because every home has its own overall <em>feel<\/em> and <em>warmth<\/em> and this should ultimately be the determining factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, when choosing the right gray, I was certain I wanted <em>Revere Pewter<\/em> and found that it was too dark for my home. I ended up using <em>Edgecomb Gray <\/em>which I absolutely love. It turns out that the home I was living in had plenty of warm natural light, which made Pewter Gray look too dark, cold, and dramatic. Read more about it <a href=\"https:\/\/mommy-diary.com\/revere-pewter-edgecomb-gray-greige-inspirations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This time, I thought&nbsp;I wanted <em>Decorator&#8217;s White&nbsp;<\/em>but I&#8217;m going to choose <em>White Dove&nbsp;<\/em>instead. I thought I&#8217;d like a cooler stark white color better than a warmer creamy white but my eyes keep going back to <em>White Dove<\/em>&nbsp;on the walls throughout the house. It&#8217;s a little more creamy than I originally wanted but it feels just right in this home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So here is my recap after two days of sampling paint colors and hours of painting, looking, and painting some more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mommy-diary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/benjamin-moore-white-color-card-1.jpg\" alt=\"How To Choose The Perfect White Paint\" title=\"How To Choose The Perfect White Paint\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-benjamin-moore-simply-white-warmer-true-white\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.benjaminmoore.com\/en-us\/paint-colors\/color\/oc-117\/simply-white\">1. Benjamin Moore Simply White: Warmer True White<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Simply White<\/em> has a soft warmth to it, much like <em>White Dove<\/em>, but it leans slightly lighter and brighter, making it look more like a true white in most spaces. It\u2019s a clean, pretty white that still feels inviting without being stark. Ideal for those who want a warm white that still reads fresh and timeless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-benjamin-moore-white-dove-warmer-white\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.benjaminmoore.com\/en-us\/paint-colors\/color\/oc-17\/white-dove\">2. Benjamin Moore White Dove: Warmer White<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><em>White Dove<\/em>&nbsp;has an elegant warmth to it that I love. It looks totally white out of the can but once it&#8217;s on the wall, it takes on a rich creamy feel. In brighter rooms, it looks more true white. In darker rooms, it takes on a light gray or greige undertone. Not as white as <em>Simply White<\/em><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-benjamin-moore-decorator-s-white-cooler-white\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.benjaminmoore.com\/en-us\/paint-colors\/color\/oc-149\/decorators-white\">3. Benjamin Moore Decorator&#8217;s White: Cooler white<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Decorator\u2019s White<\/em> has a noticeable, cool undertone, which can work beautifully in modern or minimalist spaces. I usually gravitate more toward cooler colors, so I was excited to try this one. However, on my walls, it leaned almost gray. It felt a bit muddy and lacked the softness or complexity of<em> Simply White<\/em> or <em>White Dove<\/em>. To me, it looked flatter and less vibrant in comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-benjamin-moore-chantilly-lace-white-cooler-true-white\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.benjaminmoore.com\/en-us\/paint-colors\/color\/oc-65\/chantilly-lace\">4. Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace White: Cooler True White<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace White<\/em> is a stark white-based color with little depth in my opinion. Compared to<em> Simply White, <\/em>it has cooler undertones. I think this is a great color for trim, windows, doors, ceilings as well as modern,&nbsp;minimalist spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m actually thinking about using this color for the ceiling, walls, and trim throughout the home for some contrast. Don&#8217;t you think that would look nice?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-benjamin-moore-s-white-dove\">Benjamin Moore&#8217;s White Dove<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m still debating but leaning towards <em>White Dove<\/em>&nbsp;because it feels warmer and just looks prettier in person.&nbsp;After some experience in choosing paint colors, I find that going with my intuition usually yields the best results. So when in doubt, go with your gut feeling!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>When in doubt, go with your intuition!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>My only reservation is that it has slightly yellow undertones in some parts of the house (like in the kitchen) but looks really pretty throughout the rest of the house. I don&#8217;t want to use various shades of white, but want to find that ONE perfect white that works in different rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More DIY posts to come soon, I hope you find them useful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mommy-diary.com\/diy-home-remodeling-design-real-story-part-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read Part 1 of the home remodeling series<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-update-5-2016\">Update 5\/2016<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I decided on&nbsp;<em>White Dove<\/em> throughout the home, including the living room, and love the results. It&#8217;s a soft warm white paint that reads gray or ivory under different lighting conditions. At times I wish I went a tad lighter (I painted one room in <em>Simply White )&nbsp;<\/em>but 99% of the time I&#8217;m glad I chose <em>White Dove<\/em> because white paint is difficult to maintain with children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(*I don&#8217;t know how those Pinterest and Instagram-celebrity moms maintain such crisp, clean white walls with growing children. I find it hard to maintain and I spend more time than most moms cleaning.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See how <em>White Dove<\/em> looks today in our <a href=\"https:\/\/mommy-diary.com\/dining-room-remodel-before-and-after\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dining room<\/a>.
