It's often said, and rightly so, that fashion is made to evolve. Decoration trends also undergo changes that leave decor lovers unmoved.
White paint is a must-have, guaranteeing real continuity through an interest that remains the same over time.
However, in recent years, the appearance of so-called tinted whites in paint color charts has changed the game to such an extent that, by comparison, standard white paint , which was the norm, is sometimes considered “too cold” or lacking in personality.
On the contrary, tinted white paint enhances elegance and a certain versatility that is reassuring before painting the walls of your interior.
More than an alternative, tinted whites have ended up establishing themselves as real shades, just like other neutral colors like beige, for example.
It's not just a fashion statement: tinted whites have real advantages in interior design!

The space and the reflection of light are preserved
This is one of the main reasons why white paint is so often used. Indeed, white has this ability to reflect light very well and, above all, offers a real sense of space thanks to its strong luminosity.
This is a considerable asset for enhancing a room, even more so if it lacks natural light or if the room is too small.
The use of a tinted white will not deviate from this rule by also offering this capacity to fully diffuse the light.
Tinted white does not necessarily mean color in the literal sense of the term: you will therefore retain a completely certain feeling of space.
Beyond the aesthetic aspect and unlike dark colors, tinted whites will reflect light, offering a feeling of depth and openness.
A wide range of decorative atmospheres
Yes, tinted white allows you to consider many decorating styles that allow you to take advantage of the personality and atmosphere you want to give to the space, particularly because of the shades of white that can exist in paint color charts.
You will therefore be able to build an interior according to the minimalist, Scandinavian or even contemporary trend.
Of course, the minimalist character seems the easiest to reproduce since white can serve as a neutral base for your interior: the tinted white that you are going to use will thus allow you to highlight the various existing decorative elements.
The Scandinavian style is known for its cozy character and the warmth it can create: this is why, when it comes to paint, using a tinted white can only be beneficial, with a touch of wood and furniture that will accentuate this effect.
Furthermore, the creamy touch of a warm white will probably be the most suitable for this use.
Finally, contemporary style is characterized by a refined decor with geometric shapes. Its advantage is that it adds a dynamic touch.
Torn between modernity and welcome, the contemporary atmosphere can be attempted with a cold undertone of tinted white
Warmer shades than pure white
When our customers talk about tinted whites for their painting jobs, this is undoubtedly the first argument that comes up.
Pure white is a color that is sometimes criticized for several reasons: the first is linked to the lack of personality of the shade, the second is for its coldness which is not always appreciated.
Tinted whites, especially those with warm undertones, will erase this negative aspect of white with more accessible and warm shades which are particularly popular in living rooms such as the living room, the dining room or a master bedroom.
Vanilla, pink or cream undertones, the possibilities are numerous to give your walls a color that is at the same time luminous, sober but also warm, facilitating potential color combinations .
The possibility of playing on contrasts
Playing with color possibilities also means daring and choosing to opt for contrasts and giving a particular character to your room.
Contemporary style, for example, emphasizes modernity with a refined decorative style.
As for the paint: a white tinted with a touch of blue, green or gray will allow you to play the card of this style without compromise!
Similarly, in a room that is heavily exposed to natural light it may be beneficial to channel the diffusion of light with a cooler white that will slightly retain the diffusion of light.
In very large and overly vast spaces, using a cool white will also help to crush this feeling of space being too large.
Whites for every room in the house
This is an advantage that will be completely common to standard white for painting your walls: the use of a tinted white, whether warm or cold, increases the range of possibilities to such an extent that you can apply it in absolutely every room of the house.
In a living room, using a tinted white paint on your walls will transform the atmosphere with a bright and cozy ambiance if you use a warm white.
In a master suite: a warm white will play on the warmth of the room while a cooler white will give it a feeling of tranquility.
For wet rooms, there is no particular recommendation on which tinted white to use as they will be compatible in this type of room while maintaining the brightness and the feeling of space of the room in which it will be applied.
