We’ve been seeing contrasting expert opinions (and we’re only halfway through the year) regarding white paint. Many feel that it’s alright to stick with what’s familiar—in this case, the color white—when one wants to have a home with a calm ambience. The Filipino’s enjoyment with the color white can’t be overstated. Clean, maaliwalas, timeless, and easy to use—it’s been popular in homes way before Pantone announced Cloud Dancer as the 2026 Color of the Year.
There is not a universal white paint product, of course, that you can use to repaint your entire home. Which paint to use depends on which sheen and formulation of each product is best for various parts of your home.
Get acquainted with these Boysen white paint options.
For exterior and interior walls
Boysen Permacoat Semi-Gloss Latex White
With good dirt pick-up resistance and durability, Boysen Permacoat Semi-Gloss Latex White is the go-to white paint for concrete interior and exterior walls, as well as drywall. It’s very popular and reliable, with semi-gloss paints only having the disadvantage of making surface imperfections a bit more noticeable.
For interior walls
Boysen Healthy Home Hygienic White
You can paint interior spaces using products with reduced sheen for less glare and better hiding. One of which is Boysen Healthy Home with its satin finish. It still has that slight shine, but it hides imperfections better than glossier paints. Boysen Healthy Home’s antibacterial and mold-resistant properties also make it a good choice for kitchens, dining rooms, and bedrooms.
For ceilings
Boysen Permacoat Flat Latex White
A versatile product, Boysen Permacoat Flat Latex White is the best at hiding imperfections. However, the flat sheen means it gets dirty quickly. It’s used generally as a primer for water-based topcoats on concrete and drywall surfaces, but it can also be its own topcoat for low-touch surfaces such as ceilings.
For wood and metal surfaces
Boysen Quick Drying Enamel White
Paint wood and metal surfaces with the tough finish of Boysen Quick Drying Enamel, a durable paint that works well for high-touch surfaces, like furniture. Painting interior cabinets white allows for flexibility in decorating. You can create a minimalist space, or you can be daring with stylish contrasts. White for your gates and railings also create lovely exteriors.
For roofs
Boysen Roofgard Laguna White
Boost the stylishness of your exteriors further by painting your roofs white. If you want to prepare your homes for the rainy season, you have the option to paint with Boysen Roofgard, with Laguna White as one of the readily available colors. This corrosion-resistant product covers your roofs with a protective film.
Painting with Readily Available Whites for Your Home
You don’t need to go all-white for your home, although for those who are not so color savvy, this would certainly circumvent the necessity to create a color palette.
Though if you’re not a fan of plain white, explore off-whites that still give that maaliwalas feel. Check out this article. A visit to The Color Library, or your closest Boysen Mix & Match Color Station, may also benefit you if you seek to add color in your homes.
