Which white is right?

With all the thousands of paint colours to choose from out there – what makes white so enduringly popular for interior walls?

  • White creates space
  • It's the perfect blank canvas – throwing emphasis on to furniture, art work and objects
  • White emphasises shape and form. It takes a room back to the basics
  • If you tire of white, it's easily painted over
  • No matter how often you change your furnishings, with white you don't necessarily have to repaint your walls
  • White can make spaces lighter and brighter
