Here are some of our go-to whites! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070642033bf05220e506e0d/f446f527-6875-471f-9831-6d6db889136a/alabaster+afternoon.jpg The Blog - Picking the Right White Paint Color - Lighting and Surroundings A huge factor in selecting any color is where it is going and what will surround it. Light, like color, can also be warm or cool. You may notice that light in the morning looks cooler and brighter, and becomes warmer and softer in the evenings. This can have a great impact on how your walls look if they are in an area with lots of natural light. If you are in a room with no windows, then it is important to consider the lighting source in that space. Do you have bright white bulbs that will appear cool? This could make the paint look even cooler. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070642033bf05220e506e0d/5d80a62e-fb1b-42a6-a991-a5b7de530a49/alabaster+morning.jpg The Blog - Picking the Right White Paint Color Regardless of what lighting you are working with, you should think about what other colors are in the space. Do you have dark, warm wood floors? Cool gray tile? Are you painting a wall that will sit behind a bright blue sofa, or a yellow bedspread? For these reasons, we suggest getting a large sample and taping/painting it in the area that you plan to paint. Until you see the color in your space, with your things, it may be difficult to tell if you are making the right choice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070642033bf05220e506e0d/d2acbcfb-3038-407b-88fd-ba6576c2c208/free-paint-samples-1822376-hero-1eb6659711524b509a659fe03117bac6.jpg The Blog - Picking the Right White Paint Color - Warm vs Cool The first thing you should remember is that there are “cool” colors, and there are “warm” colors, and white is no exception. A cool white is one that may look blue in certain lights, while a warm white may appear yellow. Not sure how to tell the difference? Imagine that you are looking at a color wheel; every color can be lightened all the way to white and darkened all the way to black. So start there! For example, If you want a warm white, or an ivory, then it should be a few shades lighter than a yellow or tan paint. If you want a cool white, start looking near blues. Funnily enough, sometimes the easiest way to tell if a white is warm or cool is to place it next to other whites! A seemingly neutral white may become very yellow when placed next to a cooler color. If you still prefer the color when compared to other whites, you are on the right track. https://www.acciodesign.me/theblog/tips-tricks-for-getting-and-staying-organized-this-spring monthly 0.5 2023-03-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070642033bf05220e506e0d/e8b59f82-ca3d-4c09-bbca-7ab30e0d67a4/Screenshot+2023-03-09+155049.jpg The Blog - Tips + Tricks for getting (and staying) organized this Spring. - 4. Keep everything visible In a good system, items should be easy to find, use, and replace. Using clear bins, turntables and shelf dividers are just a few ways to keep everything at the forefront of your space - and off your mind! When items are out of the boxes you can see what you have. You avoid buying duplicate items and can easily take stock of what you actually need. When the kids ask “are there any more chips?” You can happily say “look in the bin labeled chips!” This strategy saves time, money, and (let’s be honest) sanity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070642033bf05220e506e0d/9641f7ca-031a-4fd3-849e-96d85ad87201/unsplash-image-gpy3s0RNAow.jpg The Blog - Tips + Tricks for getting (and staying) organized this Spring. - 2. Create a system Once you’ve thinned the herd, it should be easier to create clear and intuitive categories for your items. If you are sorting clothes, this could be by color, by season, by style, or even a combination. (for example, I have my clothes hung by category, then by color). This system should align with your routine; whatever is easiest for you to remember and stick to is best. https://www.acciodesign.me/theblog/interiordesign101 monthly 0.5 2023-05-15 https://www.acciodesign.me/theblog/Blog Post Title One-4h97h-949br-n4b54-rw9yk monthly 0.5 2022-12-05 https://www.acciodesign.me/theblog/Blog Post Title One-4h97h-949br-n4b54 monthly 0.5 2022-12-05 https://www.acciodesign.me/theblog/Blog Post Title One-4h97h-949br monthly 0.5 2022-12-05 https://www.acciodesign.me/theblog/Blog Post Title One-4h97h monthly 0.5 2022-12-05 https://www.acciodesign.me/home daily 1.0 2025-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070642033bf05220e506e0d/1b9e8fc1-536e-4e28-9ab0-afba5f046e94/kitchen+3.23.jpg Home - Residential https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070642033bf05220e506e0d/c366dec1-6968-49f8-b583-0c2915bb9c23/hotel+3.jpg Home - Commercial https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Home https://www.acciodesign.me/about daily 0.75 2023-06-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070642033bf05220e506e0d/ec1c1918-c966-4a7e-a634-c9e972de7ecd/RenderedImage.jpg About - Tara Seesman is the founder of Accio.
