Alabaster SW going good with wood tones

We will be painting the trim & window casings High Reflective White.

Just putting a bug in your ear to double check, confirm with your painter. HRW is available in limited SW product and many painters prefer to use other colors of white.

I'd sample each of these, they look different in different light.

Yes to understanding your natyral light and your exposure. I’m currently remodeling and using SW Alabaster in a north facing great room. I wanted the beige undertone to show and it does. In a south facing home it will stay more white.

Im using SW Pure White as my trim as suggested when I googled pairings..

Why not paint the walls and trim the same color? Your moldings aren’t particularly special enough to highlight. Save yourself the angst of picking 2 colors.

I already started painting the upstairs trim

with Emerald in High Reflective White by myself so we just figured we would use the same thing throughout the rest of the house so it all matches!

Another vote for Alabaster which should be the best fit with your cabinets. No HRW on trim. Too bright a white. Either Alabaster or Pure White.

I have Aesthetic White throughout - ceilings, walls, trim - and it's great, very neutral. I think the description (on the SW web site) talks about lavender/purple undertones, which I have never seen. Worth painting a large swatch on various walls and see how you like it.

Alabaster from SW is a good call.

Set up rods with drapery panels and a much larger item for over your fireplace.

While it is nice to have all the trim the same color, I don't always do that. It's possible to have the upstairs one color and the downstairs another. 99% of people won't notice it's different. Right now my living room has different color trim than the rest of the house and I can't imagine anyone would ever notice. Of course the other color used is similar, but also, the living room gets a lot more light than the other rooms. The quality of light is always going to vary room to room.

Before you start painting the downstairs trim all HRW to go with the upstairs, look at a sample of it next to your cabinets. And when I say sample I mean a larger sample than just a paint chip. If it looks OK to you, then you're good to go. You only need to please yourself.

Consider painting the ceiling the same color as the walls. Very nice look...opens up the room quite nicely. Downplay the angles to soften the space. You will be amazed.

Also we use flat paint...no sheen,...adds more depth.

@la_la Girl - apparently, your chairs are comfy - based upon the look on your pup's face! FYI - he/she is adorable!

Until you test in the room(s) and look at different times of the day, it’s not an easy decision. My sister was onto the fifth white and we headed to Farrow and Ball for more help; it turned out to be the perfect shade when compared to others on the wall. Don’t limit yourself to only testing two shades.

Thanks @dani_m08 that’s Wilson - he’s my MIL’s pup, we had him while she recovered from back surgery 😍 he’s a total doll but we also have our own big lab, so it was a lot of chubby goodness

lalagirl, your pups look very chill too, in addition to being adorable!

And I love your house, too!

Yes lalagirl, so nice to see the house of a contributor and the pups are an added bonus! I love the all over color wash by Celery.

That sounds exciting! Fresh paint can make such a big difference, especially with all the wood tones you already have in your kitchen. Both Egret White and Aesthetic White are great starting points if you’re looking for a soft, light neutral. They each have just enough warmth to play nicely with wood without feeling too stark against the High Reflective White trim.

A couple of other shades you might want to sample are:

• Shoji White (SW 7042): A warm, versatile neutral that balances wood tones beautifully.

• Alabaster (SW 7008): A classic soft white that pairs well with whites and natural woods.

• Accessible Beige (SW 7036): A light, warm greige that looks great with both light and dark wood.

• Natural Choice (SW 7011): Subtle and airy, with just enough depth to keep trim and wood from blending together.

Since lighting changes everything, having those samples painted on a few walls is the best way to see how they shift throughout the day. You’re definitely on the right track by testing before committing!
