Much to everyone's surprise we decided to paint our apartment with actual colours instead of the usual safe white or cream that most tend to run with. The colour scheme is pretty much grey and white. We used Nippon Parma for the lounge-hallway-kitchen and a darker grey for the bedroom. It's all about creating a mood. If you look at any interior designer's portfolio you will see that white or cream walls are rarely featured, and having a 'designer' look is what we are trying to encapsulate. Some may think it is too dark, but we believe the walls will look striking once it is furnished.The white glossy skirting borads, window sills and doorframes will contrast and give the apartment more depth.
3 coats plus a sealer on the ceiling, and two coats on the walls = very tired arms!!! This is a hard gig so kudos to all the professional painters out there. Another difficulty was paining the up in the shadow line neatly, but we managed in the end. And we are glad we decided to take the risk because it looks awesome.
