After moving into their new home, Liz-Maré and Ron Stain were keen to make the most of their open-plan living area by creating a more sociable and inviting space.
With dark wood heirloom furniture and leather couches they adore, the couple wanted to create a colour scheme inspired ?by Mother Earth with natural tones reminiscent of the plains of Africa and warm hues that would complement their existing pieces.
The Soulful Kenya™ palette from the Dulux Colours of the World™ collection was just what they were after. Inspired by one of the world’s most beautiful landscapes, Soulful Kenya™ offers five unique shades of washable, low-odour interior wall paint that complement one another effortlessly.
What they did...
1. The TV was moved out of sight, which offered a clean palette for creating a feature wall painted in Truly Kenya™, with the adjacent wall painted in Gentle Kenya™.
2. The display cabinet with its glass doors (left) was handmade by Ron when he was still in high school. It was left as is – just look how beautifully the rich wood complements the colour on the walls! Combined with the wall décor and crisp white display items, it creates a restful corner in this living room.
3. The old corner unit with its dark veneer now boasts a fresh new look (right). It was primed with Dulux Supergrip then painted with two coats of Gently Kenya™; it matches the upcycled coffee table perfectly. Afterwards, the door at the bottom of the unit was distressed using 120-grit sandpaper to enhance the earthy look.
4. The plasma unit, before the makeover an unsightly hand-me-down, was transformed into a beautiful coffee table. The Stains simply removed the backboard, primed the unit with Dulux Supergrip and then painted the bottom part in Gentle Kenya™ ?and the top in Rich Kenya™. The colours perfectly complement ?the leather couch, coir carpet and soft hues on the walls.
