Painting a room completely white

4 replies

Another painting question...
I want to paint two small rooms in my house totally white - ie walls, ceiling and woodwork all the same white. But want it to look calm and traditional, not too cold or stark (it's a traditional small Edwardian terrace). One room is a bathroom, which just has a plain white suite and white tiles with one line of navy tiles. And the other room is just a tiny little odd-shaped room.
Any recommendations for a good Farrow and Ball (or smiliar) white to use?

We have used Crown Milk White. It has a slightly greeny-milky tinge, so not stark at all. We have painted most of the rooms in our house with it.

F&B Pointing is soft & chalky looking; dd2's small box room is painted in it & it's light but not cold.

Another vote for Crown Milk White. Nearly all our house is in this colour. I sampled tons of "whites" from all brands before deciding on this for one of our rooms. Loved it so much that a year later painted every room except for DCs bedrooms in this.
