The MGD White Paint Guide

Design
January 7, 2021

When it comes to finding the perfect white paint color, there are so many pretty hues out there. In our world, it’s very much a personal preference. Some clients love a warm creamy tone, others prefer a crisp bright white.

When our team is selecting paint, we always take into account other elements in the design story. How much natural light is part of the room? What color are the hardwood floors? We like to consider all the tones in a room before settling on the perfect color—think cabinetry, tile, countertops, furniture, etc. Color bounces throughout a room and can play a major role in the way a white hue shows up.

Our advice… purchase a few small samples of paint and paint them in your space. See how the colors change from day to night, with and without the lights on. This is always our most reliable trick for picking the best paint for our clients.

Scroll below for a few of our go-to white paint colors. We’d love to hear your favorite hues in the comments below!
