I painted my entire NYC apartment from top to bottom in chantilly lace and I love it so much!!
I'm sure it looks crisp and clean!
Very informative! Thank you!
I’m so happy you made this video! I had trouble deciding between these 2 whites when painting my house!
What did you decide on??
I painted my main bedroom ceiling Chantilly Lace and walls Ying Yang blue. The combo gives me daily JOY!
Please tell be you've played the Ying Yang twins in that room lol.
I am in year 4 of a complete gut renovation of a little waterfront cottage. I am doing the vast majority of work myself and in order to reduce the sheer number of decisions that must be made, I am painting every wall and ceiling Chantilly Lace. Will I change them later, we will see.
Using Chantilly Lace. It's a modern, crisp, sharp look. It brightens the rooms with a clean fresh look. The furniture nicely contrasts again that color.
If putting simply white on all walls would you suggest also doing simply white on the trim and ceilings in different sheens?
Hiya, i live in the gloomy uk 🇬🇧 and redesigning the living spaces to take advantage of the garden area and greenery. I was considering painting walls classic grey in scuffex (to add touch of warmth but not darkness) and woodwork and built ins in chantilly lace as they builtins have a slight warm white leds (not too yellow). Do my choices sound logical? Hope so!
I’ve lived with a massive swatch of both of these colors on my walls for months lol. I can’t decide! Chantilly Lace looks awesome during the day in my home that lacks natural light but at night is a little too sterile. Simply White looks awesome in my lighting at night and gives me the warm laid back feel I’m going for. However, during the day it looks VERY yellow and blah. Quite the conundrum picking between these two…
Which direction does your house face… sounds like my conundrum between the two… my house faces North.
Maybe "white"? It's not that yellow, not that bright I guess...
Go chantilly.
I'm in a similar situation -- my solution was to bring in lots of warm accent lighting at night to help (team Chantilly Lace!)
Have you tried Oxford White?
Just had my kitchen cupboards spray and hand painted in Simply White Matt. My kitchen is south facing and has 2 windows and 1 French doors.Absolutely fabulous! Clean, soft but not startling Icy white. I would highly recommend.
Thanks for sharing your experience with Simply White Liz! So helpful to know what works for people.
Well for my sw agreeable gray kitchen cabinets that are flashing that bit of purple that is now the bane of my existence.. I had to pivot from simply white to Chantilly lace so that we don’t draw more of the purple and yellow combo out of each one. So for us folks with these problems, Chantilly lace is the go to. I’ve now learned that you shouldn’t go with a light grayish chameleon color on cabinets if you want a warm white on the walls. Shitty lesson learned 🤷🏻♀️🥺
Yesss for sure, a cooler white might help calm those undertones a bit, but glad Chantilly worked for you in this case.
I like the Chantilly Lace in my kitchen, although it's paired with some bold colours that help tone it down a bit.
I had it in my living room originally and I hated it. I don't remember if it was you or Nick Lewis that commented that it can look like primer but that was exactly how I felt! It just looked... unfinished?
Team Simply White! (For the most part)
Yes, well, I can confirm Nick is #teamsimply because he said so in the comments ;)
I used decorators white on kitchen cupboards (not mine or colour choice), and I didn’t mind it but I felt like it was flat looking. Thank you for comparing these two! I need the education.
Hey, happy to help Deneen! I also like Oxford White and White Dove.
I’m going to check those out. I’m going to do baseboards and trim in the bedroom areas.
I painted my bathroom Chantilly Lace. I love it.
Bet it looks great Rita!
I swatched every Ben Moore on my walls last summer when I painted all the mail areas of my house-kitchen, breakfast room, foyer, LR, upstairs hall and a small guest bedroom. All rooms get tons of natural light. The winner? Simply White. Warm, bright, soft day and night. I struggled with what to do with the trim work throughout. Landed on … Simply White! in hi gloss. Looks amazing against the matte walls. Very clean and pretty. Couldn’t be happier.
Main areas…
Love that! Changing the sheen of your white is a great strategy! And it's a modern look!
Hi James! Can you do a video about techniques/tools for working with textured walls and ceilings? Do certain brands of paint work better over texture than others? Is the rolling technique the same as with smooth walls? I love your video about edgers, but would those snag on a textured wall? Alternatives? Thanks!
Hi Arden, nice suggestion! For textured surfaces, a few things to keep in mind. Clean to remove dust that might have gathered in the grooves and use a proper primer. If you're trying to accentuate the texture, go for a higher sheen (satin or semigloss). If you're trying to minimize it, for for a lower sheen (flat or matte). I'd use a thick nap roller to get into those grooves. Same W technique using the roller, but I might go in with a brush afterwards and get any spots that were missed. I'd likely go brush over edger depending on the texture. Hope that helps!
Does simply white come in different sheens and if so what would anyone recommend for walls and trim?
I’d love to see a colour clash of BM White Dove and SW Alabaster please! I’m so torn which colour to choose 😅
Both are great but I'm a White Dove fan myself!
I'm confused is this from a specific brand only? Because I'm looking for it online and can't find it written on cans? Just satin white or white.
I just like Chantilly Lace because it sounds so fancy haha. I’m glad you addressed the elephant in the room, I was wondering about that 🤣.
I knowww....I tend to gravitate to the colors named after foods! Haha! Hence my chimichurri accent wall!
Nice video thanks
Thank you too!
Will Feather Down cabinets pair best with simply white walls or chantilly lace?
Which one with Kendall charcoal on cabinets
I'm old enough to remember when you went to the hardware store and bought white paint, no hard decision involved.
I like Chantilly Lace for cabinets and trim. I pair it with dark tones.
ooo nice, high contrast, i like it!
What sheen did you get ?
@@chantalbeltran7779 I used a pearl finish as it gives me durability and easy to wash.
Hi. This video was so helpful. I am repainting my homes exterior, main walls in BM Swiss Coffee, window mouldings in Edgecomb Grey. Should I paint the windows in Simply White or Chantilly Lace? Thanks in advance. Raj. Trinidad 🇹🇹
Hi Veda, BM Swiss Coffee might read a little yellow/green next to those bright whites, so you're best best is to try them out and compare or paint the windows in Swiss Coffee also to avoid any clashing.
So Simply White has a yellow undertone (which I'm not fussy about) but does BM or SW have a very light white that has a very slightest brown undertone?
Yes show Chantilly love
always show love!
I'm in a lower level bedroom, West side of the house and chose Chantilly Lace on the walls. I don't regret My choice one bit. Two coats covered the walls nicely. The ceiling was done with BM waterborne ceiling paint. Again, two coats. I should have "cut in" a bit better from the walls to the ceiling. Oh well, live and learn. I don't do this professionally.
Hmmm your a warm guy and live in Canada? 👌, just busting your chops. Valspar has a white in this line, I think Pure White, that I get asked about alot. Anything on it?
Exactly! Gimme that warmth before I freeze up here!!!
Planning to paint all my walls in Benjamin Moore Chantilly lace. Can I use Benjamin Moore SNOW WHITE ( not snowfall white) on my apartment doors and trims or will it be too blue? I need a slight contrast with chantilly lace for doors and trims. I want a cool colour for trim and doors
It might be. It will contrast with Chantilly and read more blue. Best to test it out. Have you looked at Frostine? Or Decorators White?
@@thepaintpeople Thank you so much. I think Frostine is definitely better
All you had to say to me is yellow undertone and I knew Chantilly Lace was the one.
Hi, we are doing a kitchen reno. We have chosen chantilly lace for the cabinetry and empira white cesarstone for the countertops with a white subway backsplash. My concern is the existing trim for all over the house is simply white. Do you think the trim for the windows and doors in the kitchen, which would be simply white, look too yellow against the chantilly lace cabinets? Thanks!
Hi Dianne, you know it just might. Whites will reveal their undertones when paired next to each other. Your best best is to compare them side by side.
Would you pair BM Rodeo 1534 and simply white? I'm thinking Rodeo on the walls and simply white on the ceiling, trim and doors.
I would! I think they would pair nicely.
@@thepaintpeople Thank you!!
What about BM White Christmas? How does it compare to chantilly lace?
Hi Tia, White Christmas is darker and cooler, with green undertones, almost a very light shade of green. Chantilly is one of the brightest whites, much lighter with no noticeable undertones.
Help, fellow Canuck! I just moved back to rural northern Alberta after 12 yrs in sunny Saudi... and I fear for the cold darkness of winters here, in our new-to-us retirement home full of south- and west-facing huge windows and vaulted ceilings but very few north- or east light except on sunny mornings. I lean toward CL because I do lean toward walnut woods and lots of teal/aquas/blues in my decor. The whole house is currently done in a horrible muddy yellow-beige that changes a ton throughout the day... see next comment.
So while I use warm LED lights and DON'T like to live within shades too cool, I am concerned that summertime will be too yellow for my furnishings and such with all this warm yellow light on these looooong summer days (I'd forgotten how long!).
That said, while I am not willing to wait until December to choose, I already dread the depressing dark of a winter this far north, and DON'T want the house to compound that if Chantilly ends up feeling dull and cold when the light gets thin and weak for all those months. Augh! Help! I did buy a quart of each and plan to do some large swatches tonight... but what are your thoughts?
What color is the twin bed frame?
Not sure, sorry.
Im about to paint my whole house chantilly lace, can i do the same color for the trims/ baseboard? Or is recommend to paint trims a slight different for contrast? I would want the trims a slight brighter, any color recommendation that go well with the chantilly lace?
I chose Simply White for all the public areas of my home. Couldn’t figure out the trim. Then-brainstorm! Simply White hi gloss for trim! It’s BEAUTIFUL! I get so many compliments on the whole look.
Good luck!
What do you think of mountain peak white
I like it! Not too warm and not too cool. Very bright without feeling stark.
@@thepaintpeople 👍 I was looking at all the whites and this one looks the best on my phone. It is warmer than simply white or cloud white on my phone screen without the grayish feeling
Can you do Sherwin Williams Pure white vs Benjamin Moore simply white please
Hi Avery! I'll add it to the request list!
How does Decorator's White compare to Chantilly Lace; we have Chantilly Lace now and Decorator's White was more than 10 years ago so I have forgotten
Decorator white is more dark, cold and grey 😅 in my test in wall it’s look horrible beside Chantilly lace. Chantilly look bright, softer, in my appartment it’s look nice not sterile, a Little bit warm.
@@Kate.g. Thanks! We will stick with Chantily Lace; we don’t find it sterile at all as seems to be the consensus on UA-cam.
@@mahasidha9 every time people say chantilly is cool color I was WTF, because on my wall not at all look cool
Simply ''white'' is creamy yellow except during bright daylight or if you use cold lightbulbs. It also has greenish tint in the shadows. Not a fan. If you have white furniture, white curtains or white bedsheets simply white totally looks off-white.
I was thinking of trying Chantilly Lace for this very reason. Sometimes Simply White is the most beautiful color in the world but other times it is too yellow. I like creamy but not yellow.

You heard it here first folks! :)
Hi James! I need a new white on my wall! Can i send you a pic on IG? 🤩Need your masterness (ya, not a word but it sounds good) 🤓
Absolutely! Send us a DM!
So nice of you James. New sub. Thx for the tips.
I’m confused by all this ‘shades of white’ stuff - I think of white as being an absolute colour - it’s either white or it isn’t. Chantilly Lace is very pale blue and Simply White is very pale yellow. I’ve just put Chantilly Lace with Dulux Pure Brilliant White (white) and it looks beautiful! That said, they are so close together it is a little ambiguous whether the walls are white and the wood is brown, or the walls are blue and the wood is white - but that’s the postmodern relativist effect I was going for😀
White gloves off 🤓🤣
;)
I really don’t like the bright whites they look quite cheap may as well get cheap white trade paint
Chantilly is 3 coats minimum !!!!! it sucks
I assume you're talking about on walls that have a different color? I'm thinking of using it on trim that's alreadly has aged coats of BM White (yes, just plain "White"). Wonder if I'd still need three coats on trim?
