Warm White Paint Colors to Cozy Up Your Space

Coated from head to toe in Sherwin-Williams' Westhighland White (SW 7566), this cozy bedroom features pops of dark wood and a patterned canopy bed that'll make you feel right at home.

Benjamin Moore's Acadia White (OC-38) (also known as Ivory White) has been around for quite a while, and we don't see it going anywhere any time soon. In this living room, Lindsay Bierman doubled down on the formula for a warmer ivory hue.

Somewhere between cream and taupe, Sherwin-Williams' Creamy (SW 7012) brings an old-meets-new feel to our 2015 Idea House's contemporary kitchen. Rosney Co. Architects notes that cream-colored walls “infuse the kitchen’s modern design with a casual farmhouse feeling.”

Balance out a patterned wallpaper with a neutral white paint, like Sherwin-Williams' Grecian Ivory (SW 7541), which is used on the cabinets and the trim in this laundry room.

Not only is Farrow & Ball's Pointing (No. 2003) a great warm shade to paint your walls, but its red-based undertones make it the ideal color for whitewashing brick. Matched with exposed original beams and a grand brick fireplace, these warm white walls complement the room's stand-out features.

We'll take our espresso with lots of milk. Swiss Coffee (OC-45) by Benjamin Moore is less harsh than a brilliant white; instead, it exudes the wistful tranquility of off-white with hints of ivory.

This family decked their entire remodeled Florida cottage out in Benjamin Moore's Super White (OC-152), and we can see why. The versatile color glows in this beachside house's natural light.

If you're looking for a regal, glistening shade, White Dove (OC-17) by Benjamin Moore is for you. A living room adorned with wooden accents will draw out the warmth of this classic color.

Farrow & Ball notes that its New White (59) paint color will "warm up any room," and we agree. The pearly shade feels comfortable and inviting for a guest bedroom.

Steamed Milk (SW 7554) by Sherwin-Williams brings subtle depth to this long hallway. The designer notes, “It’s important not to paint your house with a confusing riot of colors. I like to use a lot of soft, warm beiges to keep rooms coherent while giving them character.”

Benjamin Moore’s Cloud White (OC-967) can be used as a trim color to accentuate beige walls or as the main event in your living room or kitchen. A brighter white shade like this can help make a smaller space feel much larger.

Our Crane Island Idea House was all about neutral paint colors, and the living room perfectly showcases just how far white paint can take you. The walls, trim, and bookcases are coated in Sherwin-Williams' Classic Light Buff (SW 0050), an eye-catching off-white shade accentuated by the pure white of the ceiling.

Designer Suzanne Kasler opted for an all-white living room to create a breezy, elegant space. The beige-tinged, off-white walls, painted Benjamin Moore's Linen White (OC-146), complements the true white beams to give the room dimension and height.

Barely-there beige walls—painted Sherwin-Williams' Alabaster (SW 7008)—bounce off the blushed peach tones of the ceiling. As they both derive from the same beige family, the colors cooperate to create a cohesive effect.

The kitchen of our Kentucky Idea House was given a laid-back, traditional look with cabinetry painted Snowbound (SW 7004) by Sherwin-Williams. A butcher block countertop for the island and antique brass hardware adds more warmth to the space.

Designer Ashley Gilbreath coated the brick exterior of her Montgomery, Alabama, home in Farrow & Ball's Clunch (No. 2009) to give the facade a friendly, gracious look.

Off-white walls (painted Farrow & Ball's School House White, No. 291) allow punchier green cabinetry and colorful accents to pop in this Kiawah Island, South Carolina, kitchen.

Farrow & Ball's Wimborne White (No. 239) gives a subtle distinction to the latticework ceiling of this Savannah, Georgia, living room. Paired with a white carpet, the space feels light and airy for entertaining.
