This week, I asked the Ideal Home team what their favourite or go-to white paint shade is, thinking there will be one or perhaps a handful (three tops) that will keep coming up. But I was wrong – it turns out that white paint is just as personal as colour. Even though one particular brand seems to be a clear favourite – can you guess which one? So instead, I’ve collated the favourite white paint shades of six Ideal Home editors.
It turns out that there’s a reason there are so many whites available to choose from – the best white paint shade means something different for different people. But also for different rooms – this is largely due to the orientation of the room and what kind of light it receives, whether it’s north or south-facing, as well as the size and the purpose of the space.
