Colours. The Personality of Space. Our Space.

Here's an update on the 2nd major progress of our flatfor the week. The first coat of paint was applied to the entire apartment, allowing us to have a feel of what it'll look like after the colours are up. Each picture should comprise part of the ceiling, which is painted white, and the wall with the chosen colour. This way, the colours should stand out more clearly visually. Go ahead, feast with an open mind (just try your best not to copy our colours, if possible). Cheers!

Off-white was the theme of the living room area while a light hue of grey was chosen for the foyer area.
We decided to extend the grey colour into the dining area to project a warmer feel.

Bedroom 2 aka Guest Room was given a vibrant splash of brown. This is a challenging colour to match, so watch out for developments in this room!

On a side note, I was asked a couple of times why didn't we pick an 'easier' colour like blue or white? My question back was 'Why blue'? Our intended replies were similiar - silence.

An energetic burst of zesty yellow for Bedroom 3 aka Study/Music rm.

I've read that yellow stimulates the creativity of the mind. Mmm...

Last but not least, a browny-grey hue gives the MBR a cosy feel, condusive for sleep and more sleep. z Z z ...

Yes, you would have noticed by now. No white. What? Why didn't we chose white?
