White paint color for south-facing rooms in Phoenix

2 years ago

last modified: 2 years ago

Hi, All!

We just purchased a home in the Phoenix area that we love. It needs a complete interior paint job and I am thinking of going white to best showcase our contemporary art collection. Currently, the walls are in shades of gray. The floors are light travertine and the granite is shades of brown. The area I am inquiring about is south-facing to the pool area. Do you all have suggestions for specific white paint colors that I might consider? I'm posting a listing photo, and please know the hanging bucket lights have been replaced with clear glass pendants:) Thank you!!!

I had a home in Southern California with flooring similar to your flooring and white walls/trim/ceilings.

The closest match to the color I used is probably BM Simply White. (I did White on White 30 years ago).

I used the same color in different sheens and that is still recommended today.

We are planning to paint our living room and newly renovated kitchen. Kitchen is south facing and we like BM Owl Gray. For living room we are considering BM Arctic Gray. I like a touch of color, not to cold or dark. Definitely not looking for any lavender undertones. Kitchen island is painted sea serpent by SW and cabinets are a soft white. See photos. Any help is appreciated. Oh new sofa in living room is a soft gray med tone fabric. Chairs and rug have not been bought.

I like the idea of a pale off-white or even with a yellow undertone, to make the most of all the sunshine. Just make sure your color goes ok with your white armoire -- you can take it a little more tan if need be to avoid an apparent "mismatch". I'd skip the accent wall.
