Clothing and accessories are ways we humans package ourselves externally. The colour of the wall is the same for your house.
Case in point: what shade and colour you paint your walls can directly affect how your home is perceived.
A lighter wash can make the room appear livelier and feel bigger than it really is while darker paints lend an air of somberness and make the space look intimate. As for colours, this correlates to how they make you feel. Green is said to promote calmness while reds and oranges add energy to the environment. Neutral tones are a minimalist must-have while browns add warmth and a sense of groundedness.
On the practical side, a fresh coat of paint can instantly elevate the ambience and experience of your house as it makes your home appear more polished and put together. This is crucial for those who just bought a new home (especially a resale) or are packaging their house for sale to prospective buyers.
House painting DIY or professional?
While painting the house yourself is doable, it is best to leave it to professional house painting services that can do a better job in a fraction of the time and effort. Their expertise means that each coat of paint is even while your furniture is well-protected.
Moreover, most companies extend a warranty on the painting services they’ve done, whether it is for your HDB, condominium apartment or otherwise.

Gush
For those not in the know, Gush is a homegrown paint label founded by Lester Leong and Benny Jiao.
Because they suffered from childhood asthma and sinus problems, the duo decided to create paints that act as passive air-purifiers by using their Gush Proprietary Catalysts (GPC) to break down volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as benzene and formaldehyde. Their paints are also marketed to be anti-mould and bacteria, are odourless, toxic-free, stain-resistant and control the humidity of the space.
They have a preferred partner, Groundworks (who appears to be relatively new to the scene), who has access to their catalogue of 352 colours. There is also a two-year warranty against mould.
