After going through all the different samples of the Kronostep Super Natural range that we brought home (see previous post ), we finally shortlisted three colors. Our walls being white, which color should we choose?
Pros: Cozy. Smart looking by playing on contrast between white walls and dark floors.
Cons: May make the place small and tight. Hard to buy suitable furniture.
(B) Light Brushed Oak
Pros: Warm and inviting tone. Makes the place larger and modern. Easy to place furniture.
Cons: Gets dirty easier. Common.
(C) Havana Oak
Pros: Raw and natural look. Has character.
Cons: May be hard to buy suitable furniture. Looks cold.
Post Poll Update:
Thanks everyone for their votes and useful advice! We appreciate it very much!
Here's a rundown of the poll:
(A) received the least number of votes. It's the choice made by all the guys (myself included initially). As suggested by some, it will make our smallish apartment look even smaller. It's dark beautiful color unfortunately also is unable to hide scratches.
(B) & (C) got equal votes and are the choices for the gals. I was leaning towards (B) because it looks more contemporary.
Verdict: (C) - Havana Oak! We were undecided between (B) & (C) but our designer, Jeremy, made a good call, (C) blends better with the white brick wall that we want to achieve the "New York" apartment feel.
C!!! Though my preference is offwhite if you have it as one of the options. ;p
ReplyDeleteC is my pick. It's neutral n modern. Suitable for small spaces too. It should also be very easy to match a wide range of colours because a neutral colour.
ReplyDeleteA is modern n slick but because it's dark, it will make small spaces look even smaller.
B is neutral too but carries too much yellow tone. Therefore when reflected onto walls n curtains, especially in small spaces it will make the flat look
warm.
