Which white should I choose for my interior walls?
A luminous color par excellence, white is an omnipresent shade in decoration.
Although sometimes considered a non-color and not belonging to the color wheel, white can tend to arouse some suspicion due to its apparent coldness, which can sometimes be too bright. However, when used well, white actually allows you to brighten and enlarge a space considerably.
A color symbolizing purity and innocence, it's the perfect tool for bringing serenity to your interiors. To avoid faux pas and overly cold atmospheres, Algo has selected a series of shades of white that will perfectly dress your walls.
Pearl white, off-white, cream white or RAL 1013 white: an infinite number of shades
While it may not always be obvious, there is a wide variety of whites . White primarily plays on nuances, coming in a wide range of shades, such as off-white, a white with a slight yellow tint for a warm appearance, or creamy white with orange-yellow accents.
White also plays on the finishes for renderings that adapt to the desired styles. A matte white , very fashionable, will be perfectly adapted to a cozy and warm style while a satin white paint will give your walls a luminous and elegant rendering. For the undecided, the velvet white paint will be a perfect compromise for a powdery and silky rendering. Two categories of whites particularly stand out: the standard white, pure and bright and the nuanced and warmer whites.
Off-white or sand color: endless color combinations
While it can sometimes stand alone, it's when paired with others that white truly takes on its own personality through the play of contrasts and combinations it allows for. Due to its vibrant nature, white allows for an infinite array of combinations. However, a few particularly trendy ones deserve to be highlighted.
Creamy white paint pairs particularly well with soft shades like terracotta or sage green for a modern yet cozy ambiance. Velvet white paint pairs perfectly with shades of petrol blue, curry yellow, or chocolate brown. Finally, white pairs naturally with Klein blue for a laid-back atmosphere with Greek accents.
Off-white or sand color: endless color combinations
A safe bet and a timeless color, white has a large number of advantages. First, it offers the advantage of considerably enlarging the space, thanks to its natural luminosity, a potential that will be increased tenfold when using a pure satin white . White also stands out as a perfect neutral base for later imagining more daring choices in furniture and accessories.
This gives you the freedom to easily change the ambiance of the room without having to change the paint. Finally, white is the ideal partner for all paint combinations, whether pastel, bright, light, or dark tones.
A must-have for decoration
Due to its natural sobriety, white paint is an ideal choice, suitable for all rooms in the house. If you decide to go with a white wall in the living room, choose an off-white shade for a warm and welcoming look.
In a kitchen or bathroom, be sure to opt for a satin white paint , which has the advantage of being washable. In bedrooms, a velvet white paint will give your walls a powdery, warm finish for an intimate, relaxing atmosphere.
