Featured on Urban Living: The Designer’s Guide to White Paint

I am so thrilled to share some exciting news! I’ve officially joined the team at Urban Living Magazine as a recurring contributor. Every few weeks, I’ll be stepping away from my own blog to share deep-dive design guides with you as well as their audience—and I couldn’t be more honored to be part of their community.

To kick things off, we’re tackling the one topic that seems to strike fear into the heart of every homeowner: White Paint.

If you’ve ever stood in the paint aisle staring at fifty different swatches of “white,” wondering why one looks blue and the other looks yellow, you know exactly why I wanted to write this. Picking the right white paint is one of the most common design struggles I hear about, but it’s also the one change that can instantly make your home feel more expensive and intentional.

My Favorite “No-Hassle” Paint Hack

Before you head over to read the full guide, I have to share my favorite “pro” tip for testing colors without the mess.

Most people buy those tiny jars of paint, but painting swatches directly onto your walls can be a headache (and a mess to cover up later). Instead, I always recommend using Samplize. They provide large, peel-and-stick sheets made with real paint. You can move them from wall to wall to see how the white looks in different lighting throughout the day—all with zero cleanup.

What’s Inside the post?

My article, “The Designer’s Guide to White Paint,” is officially live on their site! In this special feature, I’m pulling back the curtain on my professional secrets, including:

• The Top Three: My go-to shades that work in almost any lighting.
• Cracking the Code on Undertones: How to spot them before the paint hits the wall.
• The Finish Factor: Why choosing between matte, eggshell, and gloss is almost as important as the color itself.

I’m so proud of how this piece turned out and I can’t wait for you to read it!
