Best White Paint for Walls
Finding the perfect white paint for your walls can feel like an overwhelming task. With countless shades, finishes, and features to consider, how do you ensure your choice will bring out the best in your space? Whether you’re brightening a family room, transforming a kitchen, or refreshing a bedroom, the right white paint can make a difference.
Haymes Paint are Australia’s largest family-owned paint company, we bring nearly 90 years of expertise to the art of crafting premium paints. Proudly Australian-made and owned, our paints are designed to meet the demands of modern homes while offering eco-friendly formulations that prioritise health and sustainability.
Why Choosing the Perfect White Paint Can Be Tricky
White walls are timeless, but selecting the best shade and finish can be challenging. Here’s why:
- Lighting Changes Everything: Natural and artificial light can dramatically alter how a white shade appears. A crisp, cool white might look vivid in bright daylight but feel muted under warm evening lights.
- Functionality Matters: High-traffic areas need paints that resist stains and scuffs, while humid spaces like bathrooms and kitchens need anti-mould properties.
- Finish Makes the Difference: The sheen of your paint influences the overall vibe of a room. Low-sheen finishes are better at hiding imperfections, while glossier finishes offers durability.
We simplify these decisions with a curated range of white paints, designed to complement various rooms and lighting conditions.
Simplifying Your Decision
Selecting the perfect white doesn’t have to be complicated. Follow these steps to make your decision effortless:
- Test It First: Lighting can shift the tone of a colour throughout the day. We offer colour sample packs so you can try different whites in your space, helping you see how each performs in natural and artificial light.
- Choose the Right Finish for the Room:
- Living Areas and Bedrooms: Opt for low-sheen finishes like our Ultra Premium Coverplus Interior Low Sheen, which offers a soft, refined look and outstanding coverage.
- Bathrooms and Kitchens: Humid areas call for specialised paints like our Kitchen & Bathroom, designed to resist mould and bacteria while staying easy to clean.
- Trim and Doors: Semi-gloss paints such as our Ultratrim Semi Gloss are ideal for adding durability and a polished touch.
- Prepare Like a Pro: A well-prepped surface ensures your paint performs at its best. Clean walls thoroughly, sand where needed, and use our Ultraseal or Ultracover primers to create a flawless foundation.
With the right preparation and finishes, you can achieve professional results that last.
