5 must-know tips before you pick up a paint brush 🎨🤍 Because paint can make or break a space — and these are the things designers actually think about 👇🏼 1️⃣ Not all white paint is created equal. Every white has an undertone (warm, cool, or neutral), and that undertone will completely change how the color reads in your home. Always look beyond “just white.” 2️⃣ Test your paint on every wall. The way a room faces and how sunlight hits throughout the day can make the same color look totally different from wall to wall. 3️⃣ Consider functionality. Kitchens usually benefit from a brighter, cleaner white, while bedrooms and living spaces feel better with something softer and warmer. 4️⃣ Paint chips in the store aren’t accurate. They’re too small and the lighting is nothing like your home. A sample on the wall is the only way to truly know. 5️⃣ It might not be your paint — it might be your light bulbs. Bulb temperature affects paint more than people realize. The wrong bulb can make the perfect color look completely off. Save this before your next paint project 🤍 LTKHome
