Why do designers recommend keeping whites in the same family with Alabaster?

Designers recommend keeping whites within the same family when working with Alabaster to avoid undertone clashes that look harsh or unbalanced. Alabaster’s warm, creamy undertones harmonize best with whites that share similar warmth or softness. This approach creates cohesive, intentional spaces where walls, trim, and ceilings blend naturally. Mixing cool whites or stark shades causes visual friction, making spaces feel less polished. Staying within the warm white family with Alabaster ensures harmony and upscale appeal in your interiors.
