Title: The 3 Biggest Mistakes People Make When Choosing White Paint (And How to Avoid Them)

Are you renovating, building a new home, or just refreshing your interiors and planning to use white paint? You're not alone. White and neutral tones are by far the most popular colour choices for Australian homes—but if you're not careful, they can also become your biggest design mistake.

In this blog post, I'm sharing a powerful free video training where I reveal the 3 biggest mistakes people make when selecting white paint—and more importantly, how to avoid them with confidence.

Why White Paint Is So Tricky (and Often Misunderstood)

As a colour specialist with 15+ years of experience, I've seen it all. Time and again, I see people fall into the same trap: choosing white paint based on what they like, not what works.

Here’s the truth: your home doesn't care what white you love—it only cares what neutral tones are already present in your fixed elements like stone benchtops, tiles, and flooring.

Mistake #1: Choosing a White You Love (Instead of What Works)

Most homeowners choose their white paint based on popularity or personal preference. "Everyone is using Natural White" or "I love Vivid White" are things I hear constantly.

But that’s not how designers work. Your stone, tiles, and fixed elements dictate the white that will work. If you choose without testing, you're just guessing—and guessing is expensive.

Mistake #2: Not Testing Undertones Correctly

Testing paint swatches vertically when your stone is horizontal? Comparing colours without a clean white backdrop? These common missteps will distort your perception of colour.

In the video, I walk you through exactly how to test your colours using proper neutral swatches and white pairings. I even show real examples of good vs. bad matches.

Mistake #3: Forgetting to Take Your Colour Swatches with You

Most people go tile or curtain shopping without their actual colours in hand. This is a recipe for mismatch. If you want a perfectly coordinated living room or kitchen, you need your undertone samples and whites with you everywhere you go.

What You'll Learn in This Free Video:

• The 3 common mistakes that lead to expensive repaints or clashing colours

• How to identify undertones in fixed elements

• How to select the right white paint for walls, cabinetry, and trims

• Why testing is non-negotiable—and how to do it the professional way

This isn’t just for kitchens and bathrooms either. I also show you how to test and build a cohesive colour scheme for your living room, including choosing curtains and feature finishes that flow with your paint.
