Lighter white that will work with Divine White

I am purchasing a home and would like to change the wall color throughout the house. All the cabinets, ceilings, and trim are painted SW Divine White and the walls are a shade or two darker in the same color swatch (Kilim Beige, Nomadic Dessert, Macadamia, etc). The kitchen cabinets are finished with a glaze. The floors are a hickory colored wood or a beige/tan tile. It's all a little too tan/builder beige for me, although the Divine White in the home looks very light...almost white. But, I'm thinking it's because of all the tans on the walls and floors. I need to brighten up the space so that my antique furnishings and art work really shine. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can do that without repainting EVERYTHING? If I go with the wrong white on the wall, I'm afraid it'll make the cabinets and trim appear yellow or even pink. I have considered doing divine white on the walls but I don't think that's going to change the look/feel much - it'll still look cream/tan. Another thought I had was diluting the divine white to make it even lighter, but not sure if that would get my desired effect.


In my current home I have BM White Dove throughout (all cabinets, walls, trim, and ceilings) but I don't think that will work with Divine White, yet that's the look I really want. Suggestions on another wall color that will give me a lighter, neutral white shade and will work with divine white without making the trim/cabinets look too pink/tan? Attached pics from the listing, but pics are hard bc of the flash, lighting, angle, etc. P.S. the house does not get a whole lot of natural light and felt dark to me so I planned on changing the bulbs as well.
