My husband and I are in the process of finishing our basement. He went to pick up the paint and asked what color to which I replied “just get white”. Knowing there are SO many shades of white… this is where IFU because we just painted 3200sq ft in the shade of “Extra White” and now our basement looks like a sterile asylum….
Although I think we both know it looks blinding now that it’s dry, I can’t bring myself to make a complaint because he asked me what I wanted and I was not specific. Granted, the floors are not in yet and obviously no furniture.. So I think there is potential to warm the space up.. but, any suggestions that do not involve completely repainting the entire space a warmer shade of white??
TL;DR
Told my husband to get white paint - I didn’t specify what shade and he chose the whitest white and we painted our entire basement and it looks crazy.
