For a newly moved-into home, painting walls white before choosing permanent colors can help homeowners see the rooms without the previous owner's shades shaping their plans. White also provides a neutral, intentional-looking finish while decisions are made room by room.
The article advises choosing a white carefully: warm whites with yellow or beige undertones are described as softer and a better fit for most homes than stark, cool whites. After painting, spend time in the space, note how light falls, and consider planned furniture and art before settling on final colors.
