Probably start with a very pale pink on wall and play with different tone and shades of pink in your bedding and furniture. Amber and magenta goes well with pink. Remember to stick with warm color only.
Actually Little Twin Stars already has all these matching colors!作者: Catpiano 時間: 2011-6-22 14:45
Oh .. somehow .. keep thinking you are a man tim ...
Then OK la.... just not the whole room pink .. may be pink + white or some boarder ..作者: zuesel 時間: 2011-6-22 15:43
Wall paint is another area of study. That`s why people hire paint consultant for help.
There is no such thing as good or bad color. It`s how you put put it together and where, what effect you want to have, and what you want to draw from it (ie: mood, space, etc) that allows you to take full advantage of colors!
To simplify a bit for you, you need to put a few things into consideration.
(not in the order of importance)
1. The size of your room (you want it to appear large or small)
2. How long you plan to stay with the color that you choose
3. Does it match with your existing furniture or you plan to get new ones
4. Be prepare to see a difference in color depending on time of day
5. How does it flow with the rest of your home
6. How it will affect you psychologically
7. Do you want a feature wall
8. Does it match with your floor and ceiling color
9. The type of lighting in your room
10. Do you plan to have other options such as wallpaper to incorporate with your paint.
11. Paint the entire room or a specific wall.
12. If your existing furniture doesn`t go with your desired color, how you can still make them work without having to replace everything.
If you don`t care but just want to paint whatever color you like, then go for it! However, be prepare to spend extra money to redo it shortly after because it doesn`t sit well after all. Things may appear to be beautiful alone but can be ugly when put together the wrong way.
Hope this helps you on making the right choice!作者: IcySugar 時間: 2011-6-28 16:21

Oh... I also wonder which brand of paint should I buy???
My frd say she has discount with benjamin Moore...
SO I went n have a look...
but my daddy been telling mi... that brand is pricey... but it might not b the best paint...
So guyz... any idea which brand 2 go with? Something good but not so $$ lol...
or should I just sticky w/ benjamin Moore since I can hav discount...作者: fibbi 時間: 2011-6-28 18:39
I'm not expert but Benjamin Moore is pretty good to me ...作者: IcySugar 時間: 2011-6-28 19:11
ur wall is benjamin Moore??? xP作者: B2L2 時間: 2011-6-28 20:15
I wouldn't put fluorescent lamp in our bedroom. The bright white is close to the day-time lighting and good for your work space or office. You wouldn't want that in your bedroom.
Benjamin Moore or not? It is up to your budget and how long you expect the paint to last (decolor/fading/peel off). There is nothing both good and cheap. Ask Zuesel and she may tell you where-else she could get discounted paint.

okay, study area is different story then. You will need two set of lights like you said.作者: zuesel 時間: 2011-6-28 22:31
Paint, furniture, tiles, etc only give discounts to trades (decorators, designers, contractors, etc).
Instead of yellow bulbs, you can get white/soft white ones. As far as decor is concerned, fluorescent light tubes makes color appear flat and lifeless. Best is study at your desk with a desk lamp if it's convenient for you.作者: zuesel 時間: 2011-6-28 22:34
as far as your pink paint turning grey has to do with your lighting choice and the quality of paint. Most of the paint these days are water-based which has its advantages but don't hold the color very good. BM's new line of Aura is targeted to last longer.作者: fibbi 時間: 2011-6-28 22:35
but I did paint another room with Benjamin Moore paint, recommended by my friend. It's pretty good (to me at least). Also, it's always good to invest in better brush...作者: sheep 時間: 2011-6-28 22:41
It's not an easy job...my arms are really, really sore after the work. Took me one week, 2 people to paint 700 sq ft. (+ 5 hours to mask/tape the 牆腳線)作者: sheep 時間: 2011-6-28 22:51
During weekday I only paint after work, so it's like 3 hours a day on weekday, plus full day on weekend. But to cover the previous dark colour, I need to clean the wall, sand, and prime...then paint...not that straight forward.
Just to clean the brush takes half an hour la...作者: IcySugar 時間: 2011-6-28 23:29
哈哈 o no... 上一手 was GREEN... T.T作者: FiChai 時間: 2011-6-29 00:21
For personal admiration, you can paint whatever color you like. But if you're going to resale your property in the future, anything other than "normal" would be considered more difficult to sell. ;b作者: IcySugar 時間: 2011-6-29 07:10
LOL... My daddy will repaint it for 2 white sure... when we sell... LOL
this house we rent... he repaint 2... be4 we return... lol作者: zuesel 時間: 2011-6-30 00:29
Be more concern with what you like coz YOU are the priority. You need to feel comfortable and happy with a place you can call home where you spend hours each day and for years! Painting is a small amount of investment but the effect is huge! Worry about changing the color before you sell which could be years down the roll. You may need to repaint anyway coz normal wear and tear will occur anyway. Again, it's not too much spending.
If you are choosing color for the purpose of selling, that's a different story.作者: IcySugar 時間: 2011-6-30 01:03
haha I went benjamin moore today 2 get the sample paint for free today...

THANK YOU GUYS =)作者: FiChai 時間: 2011-6-30 11:46
Yes, just decor your beloved sweet home as much fancy as you like, make sure you enjoy living in it. Then if you care for a faster and easier resale, consider to repaint it in the future later on.
lavenda will be another choice
