One Room, Two Looks

Two palettes of Plascon Cashmere colours give one dining room very distinctive moods.

Look 1: Greenhouse effect

Summer calls for indoor-outdoor flow. Create a conservatory-chic space with smart garden gear and soothing shades of turquoise and green. Ensure surfaces are properly prepared and, using a Hamilton’s Polypile roller, paint the walls with two coats of Plascon Cashmere Gentle Caress (G4-D2-3), allowing drying time between coats. Next, apply two coats of Plascon Velvaglo Peggy’s Cove (G6-C1-2) to a wooden bench. Add some conservatory style with garden furniture and out-of-context botanical elements.

Look 2: Berry on the top 

The age-old axiom “form follows function” comes alive in this utilitarian space. What’s the drill? A restrained shade of stone, punched up with accents in red. Prepare surfaces properly and, using a Hamilton’s Polypile roller, paint with two coats of Plascon Cashmere Evasive White (Y4-E2-3), allowing drying time between coats. Transform a weathered bench with two coats of Plascon Velvaglo Lobster Red (R5-B1-1) and complete the look with neutral, clean-lined accessories such as rough-hewn woods, white or cream ceramics and washed-out table linens.
