Polar White
Not all white paint is created equal. It’s important to select a shade that works with you rather than against you in pursuit of brightening your basement walls. Our advice for achieving an ultra-bright basement like the one pictured here by Caroline Kopp? Skip the creamy or yellow-toned whites because they tend to look dingy in sun-starved environments and stick to paints with neutral-to-cool undertones, instead. Recreate Kopp’s vivid white design with a few coats of Extra-White by Sherwin-Williams on your basement walls and add a kick of contrast with a moody hue like Pantone PMS 5395-CP on built-in shelving units or accent furnishings.
