Nippon Paint for a minimalist home!

Hi home owners! If you are new to the painting journey, nippon paint does not provide any samples for their paint. The only way to “try” it is to buy the small tin of paint at $25 a pop.

The first 2 I got my painters to buy and test were too dark in my opinion for the entire house (2176P & stranded 3394). Lesson learnt: the paint look darker than you think it will on the brochure & app. I went to the paint shop to pick out 2 lighter whites for my minimalist/white themed home.

I checked xiaohongshu and saw that Sail white (1199) is a nice white that many people go for in their cream-home so it was automatically shortlisted. I was concerned that it has too much yellow undertones, so I picked out a cool toned white, winterbone (2273) as well.

Fortunately, I managed to find what I like within these 4 tins of paint.

Here are my final selection:

1. Stranded: for master bedroom behind the bed for an accent effect

2. Sail white: for bedrooms to be cosy

3. Winterbone: for study & main living areas to be clean and chic

Hope this helps you in your paint selection!!

Bonus pro tip: opt for anti-mould paint, especially in the ceiling to survive sg’s humidity!
