Asian Paints presents...
Asian Paints has come out with Colour Next 2008 wherein you take your pick and spread them aloud! All the five themes with their respective colour palettes are devised to enhance the character of your walls.
Blush is a free spirited theme; it radiates warmth, softness and innocence. Therefore, the best place to use Blush is the study, bedroom or the recreation room. Use it in rooms wherein you prefer to unwind! With regards to lighting and accessories, make way for a lot of natural lights and complement it with signature style floral pattern lampshades, it would not only add a lot of character but would also gel with the Blush feel.
Synergy needs harmony! Synergy colours on a textured wall brings forth the true essence of the theme beautifully. Organic colours go best with natural fibres in the room. Fresh cotton linens, jute or cane used in furniture compliment the theme very well. A verandah, a living room or a bedroom opening out into a small terrace would be the ideal spaces for having a Synergy setup. Thus with these earthy colours, bring the outdoors in.
When the colours are loud, the light has to be low, and that’s Techno! Techno is a very contemporary lifestyle based colour. It perfectly compliments the new age sleekly built houses that are laden with gizmos and steel finishes and sharp lines. Neon lights and graphic prints gel well with Techno. To add character, decorate the wall with shimmering metallic artifacts or any other personal accessory that spells your attitude. The furniture can be a snazzy bright colour like Hotshot or Festivity to add vibrancy to the tetchy look.
Refine talks about sophistication, elegance and finesse. The best place to show it off it is the welcome room and the best places are the feature walls or the high ceilings. Smooth surfaces with shadow lightning and heavy photo frames and a heavy teak wood shelf alongside, is sure to make your room a mirror cracking material. Rich silken fabrics with metallic hints can transform your everyday furniture into a classy piece. Also using accessories like modern chandeliers, heavy silk fabrics with metallic sheens, cartier, crystal ware along with elaborate lighting fixtures, create an understated yet a gorgeous, chic impression.
Nostalgia is the soul of Revive, its time to bring back to life everything that belongs to the bygone era — the cherished objects of the 1920s. Jaded colours paired with the chocolate browns and the vintage prints in fabrics, make for a cozy comfortable look while boutique furniture speaks of the Art Deco influence. A space filled with books and old artifacts, grandfather’s clock and cigar case, basically anything that has a bit of history imbibed in it! Lighting is again the key as using mood lighting with classic lampshades, will enhance and create the perfect timeless ambience. Create the charm of Art Deco in your modern settings with this theme on your walls.
Colours are you! Choosing colours is a matter of personal choice and manner. Its also a very satisfying and fulfilling experience. Therefore, whichever colours you choose, whichever theme you pick, it should at the end of day, spell you. The walls of your rooms are your canvas and the colours that you choose are going to paint your picture!
Therefore spread your imagination! The walls are waiting!
