Why Is White Interior Paint So Popular?
Trends come and go. But one thing will always remain the same: people love white interior paint. But what’s to love about a color that’s so blank and boring? Why is white paint so popular?
Everywhere you go, you’ll find white paint. Is it just the easy go-to? Or is there a real reason behind all of it? Keep reading to find out why white interior paint is so darn popular.
Let’s get into why everyone loves white paint colors.
Clean & Bright
One thing everyone loves about white interior paint is it immediately makes any room look cleaner and brighter. It creates a blank slate that makes everything feel clean.
Design Versatility
Another thing we love about white paint is that it can go with any other color, light or dark, or warm or cool. That’s why you’ll find a good white paint color in almost EVERY color palette.
More Space
Along with looking cleaner and brighter, a good white paint color can also make a room look bigger. Not to get too scientific, but the color white creates the illusion of much more space, even in a tiny room.
How Many Shades Of White Interior Paint Are There?
When you think about how every different brand has hundreds of various white shades and then factor in the several great brands to choose from, you can safely bet that there are thousands of white interior paint shades to choose from.
Thinking about that can be extremely overwhelming because you can only choose one, and after looking at so many, they can start to all look the same. But the truth is, they’re not. So, to simplify things a bit for you, let’s narrow it down to the different types of white.
Pure Whites
These are the no-nonsense bright whites. They’re classic and clean, with no distinctive undertone.
Warm Whites
Warm whites have a slightly pink or red undertone, which gives them a glowing warm undertone. They create a softer white paint color, which suits traditional-style rooms very well.
Cool Whites
Cool whites are very similar to bright whites, although they’re different in the sense that their blue undertone makes things a lot more crisp and cool, making them seem even brighter than pure white. They suit modern rooms to perfection, especially when paired with different blue tones.
Creamy Whites
Creamy whites are delightfully soft, given their yellow undertone. Silimar to warm whites, this is a glowy, cozy white better suited for a more traditional room theme.
Off-Whites
Off-whites are probably the most popular type of white paint color. They’re known as the “darker” white shade because of their greyish undertone. They make a lovely contrast to bright white and blend into more color themes.
