Look #1: Angel’s space

Create a neutral base with Plascon Cashmere Resplendent. Then use an artist brush and Plascon Cashmere White (CAS 1) to add free-form clouds in different sizes. Build on the monochromatic look with accessories in earthy textures and shades of white, beige and brown. Make this neutral look pop by adding playful bits and bobs in bright silver and gold.

Look #2: Get Sporty 

A burst of sunshine yellow and grassy green bring the sports field indoors for your little champ. Let the play dates kick off!

Create an active scene by painting the focal wall in Plascon Cashmere Golden Daffodil (Y3-A1-1) and the other walls in Plascon Cashmere Whisper (B5-E2-3). Then use the Whisper to stencil a sports-themed graphic onto the yellow focal wall. Turn the floor into a fun playing field by painting it with Plascon Cashmere Dragon’s Hide (G2-C1-1) and adding stippled and solid stripes in Plascon Cashmere White. Complete the look with a smattering of sports equipment and utilitarian accessories in yellow and grey. For a cheeky touch, add traditionally outdoor objects – like a garden gnome, wall-climbing blocks and a swing.
