Spring Painting: Benjamin Moore

Posted on by

Looking for a neutral colour paint combination idea?

With so many colours, tones, and shades to choose from, it’s no wonder we have trouble narrowing down to just a few- enough to cover a condo space.
If you don’t have a strong desire towards any particular colour or shade, below is an example of a colour combination that work well together. This color scheme will help open and liven any small space. Like a breath of fresh air, these colours are soft and light, and with the right amount of brightness and depth that will give your condo a clean and modern make over.

I just finished applying this palette to our latest project at the Azura 2.
My pick- check it out.

Doors With Personality

Posted on by

An unexpected bold first impression.

The idea of painting doors with bold, bright, or contrasting colours never appealed to me, that is until I walked through the cities of India and encountered these (See Photos).

Amongst other things, India’s usage of unconventional choices of colours and brightness on doors caught my attention at first glance, and I immediately took out my camera. It’s a surprising design decision, but I fell in love with the idea instantly – as the doors create interesting focal points for the houses.

I think this eye-catching look could work well with lots of different style homes, and can be most interesting in both interior and exterior spaces. Doors are like faces, but of homes and of rooms. They give the houses a personality without being entered. And depending on the chosen colours and shades, houses can speak through their doors.

Get the look:
Photos like these can be framed into great art pieces.
Use it alone or as part of a large art collection.

Accent with Colours

Posted on by

Showing off your love for a particular colour (in this case- blues and purples) should not require painting of walls or purchasing a new sofa. Assuming all walls and large/ expensive furniture items are of neutral colours.
With minor changes to arts, accessories and florals, you can easily achieve a new look for your space… regardless of your colour obsession.
Tip—>use mirrors to reflect colour pieces. This is good way to add more colours into a space without overcrowding.
Keep it clean and simple!
