COMMON WHITE PAINT QUESTIONS:

HOW DO I PICK FROM THE FAVORITES?

If you tend to like a more clean/modern aesthetic, start with the crisp/soft whites. If you like traditional, try the soft/warm whites.

I HAVE DARK WOOD TRIM AND WANT TO PAINT THE WALLS WHITE…HOW DO I CHOOSE?

I would recommend staying with a crisp or soft white to give a natural contrast. Do not use the warm whites against the warm trim – it will look almost as if it is "dirty" and have a dated appearance.

WHAT SHEENS DO YOU USE? IS IT THE SAME COLOR FOR WALLS, CEILING, CABINETS, AND BASEBOARD?

Walls – Flat or eggshell. The eggshell sheen is generally our go-to for families since it is easier to wipe clean, but doesn’t look shiny.

Ceiling – Flat

Baseboard – Satin or semi-gloss depending on how traditional or formal the client’s style is. I love a subtle sheen difference between the baseboard and walls.

Cabinets – We typically always use a satin finish.
