Wall colours - white, or ever so nearly white?!?

[AnonymousBird]

Just about to paint the whole house (interior) as it is newly renovated (18th century cottage).

We now have vaulted ceilings throughout the upstairs (yey) and the overall look and feel is much more airy/spacious and modern.

I am tempted simply to go with Brilliant White and be done with it. DH is quibbling about having an "off white" (but which one i ask?!) and as the ceilings (now vaulted) are going to be brilliant white, obviously, then to me as they seamlessly run into the walls now I think we just go with it all in the same colour - certainly for all the upstairs and hallway/landing/kitchen etc. Possibly choose something a little warmer for the reception rooms downstairs.

Anyone else gone with an "off white" right through a house/one floor of a house? Does it work, or is it not really worth the bother?

Any thoughts/experience gratefully received.

I have Timeless in my Georgian conversion flat and I love it. I am gradually repainting everything in it as I go round and woodwork in pure brill white eggshell. I think it looks fab.

Swimming against the tide here but a lone vote for PBW. I have my entire house in it and I love the clean and crisp effect. I have loads of art in a 1930s terraced house with an ultra modern renovation and extension so it's a bit gallery like. I love the way it changes so much depending on the light - sometimes it's lit up orange with the sunset. But mostly I love when it is crisp and a blank canvas.

I have Timeless in our dining room, hall stairs and landing. It is a great colour (white). It is actually pretty much the same as the F&B Wimborne White we have in the spare room.

I have timeless in one room, walls and ceiling, I love it! And it was so easy to paint. Highly recommend.

My friend has a laura ashley white in her house and it looks really nice - cotton white. It is a bit softer and went on well.
