White paint is often seen as the default to cover pretty much anything and everything in our homes, coating the walls and architectural features of most rooms. But it doesn’t have to be this way – in fact, there are areas of your home that shouldn’t be painted white. In fact, they would look so much better and work harder for the overall look of the space if they were painted a different colour.
So when it comes to certain DIY jobs, it’s better to leave even your best white paint alone and reach for another shade. Depending what it is that you're painting, it might not even be something overly vibrant – just changing from stark white to a neutral colour can be the perfect paint idea for your space and it often makes a world of difference.
