I believe everyone will want to renovate the idea of ​​​​a small apartment.

The apartment itself is old, and over the years, the walls are full of stains. It’s time for a fresh coat of paint and a new look.

But I have no idea how to decorate and paint. So I first inquired about how to renovate the walls, and then I researched how to choose paint. After a week, I finally settled on the final plan. First of all, after repeatedly sifting through so many paint brands, after asking seniors with experience in decoration, I chose to use Nippon Paint from Japanese brands. But how to choose a specific latex paint? Since do-it-yourself added to the budget, plus for a more comfortable life, decided not to skimp on paint. However, although the design of Nippon Paint’s children’s paint “Little Prince” is very attractive, the “Golden Formaldehyde Anti-Formaldehyde Net Smell Full Effect” with bamboo charcoal formula was finally selected.

It seems that many choices have been made, but the most difficult choice has only begun, and that is the color. I have to say that there are too many choices of paint colors. There are so many colors on the Nippon Color Card, and there are countless shades of white alone. In the long exploration and selection, there is a color called “soft pearl color” that has been lingering in my heart for a long time. It was a pale, shell-like, soft white. I immediately settled on “Soft Pearl” as my paint color.

Everything is ready for construction. According to Nippon’s suggestion when buying materials, it is divided into five steps. First, use protective tools such as washi protective film to cover furniture, floors, and everything you don’t want to be splashed with paint. Second, use sponge sand bricks to polish the wall until it is smooth and clean. Third, if there is mold on the wall, use a mildew inhibitor to eradicate it and wait for the wall to dry. Fourth, apply the primer, I use the Nippon clean-flavor primer, just dilute it with water and apply a layer. Fifth, apply latex paint, but also to dilute with water, but in order to make the color better adhere to two layers, wait for two to three hours to dry. It should be noted that the primer and topcoat should not add too much water, just dilute it a little, otherwise the paint film will become too thin.

Although not every detail is perfect, but the final result is still very satisfactory. Brand new walls, comfortable tones. The following are the materials I used, hoping to provide some help for friends who are considering refurbishing paint.
