Which one...bright white or vanilla?

You know I'm a lover of color but when it comes to white or off-white, sometimes I flip-flop...which one are you?

BRIGHT WHITE

or VANILLA?

I'd love to know;)

    Bright white! The latest issue of Lonny used lots of bright white and I loved it!

    I always thought I liked bright white until I realized my ikea couch and furniture are totally vanilla. Now I know, I like just a touch of warmth to my whites.

    Bright white! I like vanilla but somehow always start feeling like a smoker was a previous owner? Lol!

    I love the look of bright white, but I think it really depends on the space...and how many children are roaming about! In fabrics, I always like a white background as opposed to a creamy tone.

    I've always been a bright white girl - but, now I'm trying to get over my matchy-matchy tendencies - and embrace the "white on white" look - I think different whites look really pretty layered together.

    i love the look of bright white, but deep down i'm vanilla. i feel like bright white isn't liveable. animals shed. i shed. my linty sweaters shed. and bright white necessitates a VERY clean space - and i'm not sure i can stay tidy ALL THE TIME.

    Vanilla! I'm into the whole Cottage/English decor look so vanilla is the only way to go.

    Bright white after those pictures! But I have been living in apartments for so long that I love vanilla. Our new house came with all the walls and moldings vanilla which was a nice change but, we are painting them over time. Cannot wait for that trim to be bright white!

    That's the million dollar question. We are building a home and I've often wondered what "white" paint colors are your favorite. I like white, but not super, bright white. What are some of your go to whites (and vanillas)?

    I always choose bright white over vanilla, though, like Jesse said, all of the walls of my apartment are vanilla!

    I love bright white but the off white is a little better for my children. Its a little bit more forgiving and soothing i think.

    Bright white! It's just so clean looking. Vanilla feels a little dirty.

    I'm definitely a bright white kind of girl!!! It's a great base to showcase yet ground colors and patterns for me.

    I'm still crushing on white couches, but my fiance isn't sold. :(

    I go for the bright white and then to the opposite end of the spectrum, glossy peacock blue/ or black.

    Okay I am a naysayer because I love vanilla with bright white trim. After living in an all white house for many years, it can get a little taxing to maintain.

    Bright white, but on the other hand...shoot, I've never been able to pick between the two either.

    Vanilla because of its warmth. I love warm colors as much as I love cooler colors and both warm and cool colors look best with vanilla, in my opinion. As I learned from my photography teacher back in high school, there's really no such thing as white. We only think that there is. There's a little bit of color in everything, even white.

    I'm behind the times and still love vanilla. I like the slight warmth vanilla has.

    Depends on the room and the other colours in it. I love a bright white, but sometimes the softness of vanilla is nice.
