Our Favorite White — Chantilly Lace
When it comes to selecting the perfect white, it’s easy to get overwhelmed — so many whites have undertones that shift depending on the light. Over the years, one shade has consistently stood out for us at Samson Home Design: Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace (OC-65). It’s crisp, clean, and beautifully balanced — neither too warm nor too cool. Because it’s so reliable, it’s become our go-to for walls, trim, cabinetry, and even exterior accents in both our client projects and our own investment renovations.
Why We Love It
Virtually no undertones — Chantilly Lace stays true, without picking up yellow, pink, or green in shifting light.
Bright & airy — With a high light reflectance value, it makes spaces feel open and refreshed.
Works across styles — Whether modern, transitional, or classic, this shade adapts seamlessly.
The perfect backdrop — It allows other design elements — furnishings, finishes, and art — to take center stage.
Where to Use Chantilly Lace
Walls & Ceilings — A clean, expansive feel without looking stark.
Trim & Molding — Keeps details sharp and consistent throughout a home.
Cabinetry & Built-ins — Creates a fresh, timeless look that pairs with any finish.
Exterior Touches — Crisp and elegant on siding, window trim, or a front door.
At Samson Home Design, we return to Chantilly Lace again and again because it works every time — in flips, rentals, and full-scale client remodels. If you’re looking for a white that won’t disappoint, this one earns its spot at the top of our list.
