White Paint's Versatility
White paint can be used practically anywhere inside (and outside) the home. It can instantly make anything look as good as new.
Here's a few ideas:
The Kitchen
White cabinets paired with blonde wood countertops can give a kitchen an open, airy feel.
Kitchen spaces with white accents such as flowers, cookie jars or containers will also add instant appeal.
The Bedroom
This particular room would benefit best from deeper colors on walls and linens with white furniture as accent points (an all-white bedroom will look too sterile).
A bed set can be all white, but with some "pops" of color for needed contrast.
The Bathroom
A white bathroom will look fresh, clean and easy to maintain.
White tiles provide a classic look.
Include colored bath mats, towels and shower curtains to break up the white.
