My Nippon Paint Room Makeover!

Mission : room makeover

My boyfriend’s room is white, plain white. It’s been that way since we moved in for a year. It’s time for a change!!!. I wanted to do a room makeover not just for myself but for him too and his birthday is around the corner. How often is it that you can get a room makeover for your birthday? Probably in TV shows right? Well I don’t need a TV show and I will show you how I did it, Miu-Style!

Our room white, boring, blah

Pre-Makeover
With what I learned from the Nippon Paint Workshop, I started thinking how I would makeover my room. Would it be pink? Would it be orange? I wonder. Colors plays an important role in our rooms, red would increase your heart rate, while pink would be girly or sparks off your creativity. My boyfriend has high blood pressure and heart rate. He often comes back home from work, stressed.

Through the workshop, I learned colors can help lower his heart rate and blood pressure. so I decided to use brown which is a stable, harmonious earthy nature color. The color also matches the interiors of his room (black brown). With the advice of Nippon Paint’s color experts, I finally selected 2 colors:-

Walls - Nippon Paint Odorless in Cotton Flannel 3035P
Feature Wall - Nippon Paint Odorless in Rocky Nook 4013D

I choose: The Secret Garden

I wanted to do something different too, not just painting but something creative & personal like creative wall painting. This can help create a more surreal setting in my bedroom. Nippon Paint workshop taught me a few basic do-it-yourself (DIY) wall art decorations. It's so easy anyone can do it, even me who has never done it before!

Before the Makeover

BEFORE my bedroom was just a plain white boring space. Then I wanted to do a makeover not only for myself but also as a birthday gift to my boyfriend. I decided to do a tranquil retreat using Nippon Paint’s neutral earthy brown colors that matches the interior of the bedroom. I added a personal touch by painting a wall art stencil by following Nippon Paint’s Creative Wall Art Inspiration guide – The Secret Garden. The entire process took only 1 day. Here’s the AFTER result of my bedroom makeover.

After the Makeover!

Happy Birthday Baby! I hope you like your new room!
