Sponsored: Get everything right in your new home

When Sudha Gopalaswamy, a budding IT professional from Mumbai, bought a new house, her head was buzzing with ideas to make it her own. Like any other excited new home owner, she had scouted websites, magazines, exhibitions and anything else that spoke of home décor. Everything had to be perfect.

She meticulously handpicked every item of furniture, drapes, lights, accessories and placed them in their respective places after multiple battles with herself. But when it came to paints, she was confused. There are so many options in colours, designs, processes, safety that she was stuck in a labyrinth of ideas.

A friend introduced her to a renowned interior designer, Aakrit Ahuja who came right to her rescue. Ahuja sat her down and understood her image of the perfect house. Then he went to his drawing board and started recreating each room, with paints to match the décor, mood, lights and accessories. The blueprint was a colourful splash of perfection that Sudha had been struggling to achieve. She was ecstatic!

When choosing the right paint colours, Aakrit Ahuja brought together all the elements of the room that complemented each other. But that’s not the only thing you look out for in paint. Along with aesthetics, you must also ensure that the paint you choose is devoid of harmful chemicals that might adversely affect your health. And Aakrit Ahuja was not one to ignore these important factors.

For the bedrooms, he chose Nerolac Impressions Eco Clean water-based luxury emulsion . It has low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and is almost odourless! Along with an ultra-rich HD finish, it is also fungal and bacterial resistant. It solved a very gnawing problem for Sudha and there was no way she could counter his decision. Her dream was slowly taking shape and she was already planning a grand house-warming party in her head.

For the bright and lively living room Ahuja chose Nerolac Impressions 24 carat water-based luxury emulsion that made the walls look exquisite with clear HD colours and rich smooth finish. His reason was simple - it made the walls inspire awe for years because it has excellent washability, superior resistance to stain, and more importantly low VOC and is odourless. Who doesn’t want a beautiful and healthy living space? Sudha was gleaming with excitement!

The house looked nothing like she had imagined; it was better! With a little help from the experts, you can also create a healthy home that is right in every way, and truly yours. Just keep in mind that with all the perfect things you add to your house, choose eco-friendly paints that will make your home colourful and healthy.
