The softness of Elmira White

HC-84 

It’s a warm neutral, but still in the off white side.  Bright and classic, here are some reasons why you should love Benjamin Moore’s Elmira White as much as we do.  The perfect blend of beige and gray, it will complement literally any color palette you choose to introduce in the room.

soft tones in a powder room

Sometimes it’s nice to go bold color in a powder room, for those of you who would rather create a softer look…try different tones of white!  We love how designer Jessica Helgerson used woodwork to bring in a darker shade and did the walls in a nice warm white.

For a similar look try:

the simplicity of white for a kid friendlly space

If you are looking for a colour to paint your kid spaces, don’t underestimate the simplicity of white…use it for the ceiling, walls and trim.

Every other colour you bring into the room will POP.

Try a crisp white like Benjamin Moore’s CC-20 Decorators white.  It’s a good idea to use a VOC free paint such as Eco Spec which we have instock, or we can order you in some Natura.

looking for the right white to paint your cabinets?

It’s hard finding the perfect shade of white, especially when it’s something as prominent as painting your kitchen cabinets.  There is such a range of white, we’ve decided to show you a few reliable shades that vary from cool to warm.

 

a great off-white

Take any old table or new garage sale find and freshen it up.

Prime it with a good primer such as Zinsser Odorless primer, then give it two coats of off white.

Instant freshness.

We love the look of OC-52 Gray Owl, try it in one of our Benjamin Moore quick drying paints.

white painted furniture

Do you have any exterior chairs looking for a fresh coat of paint? Try painting them in stark white, very modern when mixed with wood tones.

Monochromatic colour schemes are palettes that include various shades and hues of one colour and incorporate different neutral tones. This scheme will create. a calm and fresh atmosphere for your home. -Katie Walker
