The Wonderful World of White Paint

These days, white paint seems to be getting a bad rap. In this era of Pinterest-fueled home redesign, homeowners are breaking their bonds with classic white walls and branching out to try bigger, bolder, brighter colors. While we at New Ceilings love experimenting with an ever-expanding palette, we also believe that white paint can have a place in just about any home.

Today, we’re taking a step back from our usual rainbow of interior painting experiments and presenting you with an ode to white paint. Here are 3 rooms where white paint creates a classic, beautiful (and certainly not boring) look:

• The library: Whether you have a room specifically set aside as a library or a few reserved shelves in your home office, classic white or off-white serves as a clean slate against which to display your array of books. Using white in a library, or in any other display room, for that matter, keeps the focus on your collection without being too noisy or distracting.

• The nursery: Step away from cliche pastel blue and pink and paint your nursery with a clean, simple white. As your baby grows, this will allow him or her to adapt to their surroundings and to decorate with their own favorite colors, really letting their personalities shine. This will also give you unlimited freedom when choosing a theme or when updating the room as your child grows.
• The dining room: This may not be the first room that comes to mind when you think about white walls. However, making white your main or accent color will give your dining room a very posh, polished look. White walls give you the ability to decorate with any shade of metal and wood for furniture, chandeliers, hutches – you name it. You can decorate your room for any big occasion without any clashing colors.

White can be a fantastic option for just about any room in your home, depending on your ideal decorating scheme. If you’re afraid that your white walls will look drab and boring, schedule your appointment with the Orlando interior painters at New Ceilings.
