Someone help me finally leave the 1970's behind in our lounge. Is white the way to go?

All the swirly carpets, curtains, colours & anagylptas are finally gone but I think they might have damaged my eyesight and decision-making

North facing lounge & dining room knocked into one. 1930's, so not huge, but long.

I need light & airy. Ceiling & above picture rail will be white. Has anyone painted a room like this all plain white & regretted it? Will it be too harsh? Maybe an off-white of some sort (with warm tones) without it looking too yellow or magnolia? But which one?!

Room would be filled with a mish mash of our different coloured stuff from Gumtree, plus plants.

My vote would go with brilliant white throughout, but I have compromised and love Timeless.

Good point Allsloppy! I can never remember which I've used where at times

I used Jasmine White in our south facing (but with conservatory between it and the garden) dining room. IMO it looks lovely against brilliant white coving/ceilings/woodwork.

This has all been so helpful, thanks everyone!

FindingMeno so looks like Timeless or Brilliant White then.

Even I can choose between two

Pure white! @whitewhitewhite Its not actually blinding but my house is a 200yr old cottage with very low ceilings so I kind of need the brightness.

rosegoldwatcher We have a south facing room next I think! Thanks for sharing x

Thank you @OldTinHat

Totally understand the need for brightness!
