The main thing you want to keep in mind when choosing white walls is the undertone of your paint color, because that can have a huge impact on how the room ends up looking. Interior designer Laura McGarity recommends recommends using the lightest shade on a paint swatch that matches your space to figure out which undertones look the best.
