Our home is our sanctuary, our retreat, our place of safety. In a world of virus-induced anxiety it has become a multi-faceted space – office, school, gym, movie theatre, restaurant and more – a rapidly evolving environment that is constantly adapting to restrictions and limitations. We are all craving calm, peace, reassurance and wellness, and colour can play a pivotal role in this new way of living.

Because colour can affect us all in different ways, both physically and emotionally, Wattyl has long been a proponent of the psychological role colour can have in our quest for calm and security. 

Wattyl has recently shared some insights into colour usage and pairings to obtain the perfect feel in the home.

The other essential factor in creating a safe and nurturing living space is to ensure the level of toxins – in particular volatile organic compounds (VOC) – is at an absolute minimum.  Wattyl has safe paint finishes including its I.D Advanced ultra-low VOC formula with less than 1g of VOCs per litre, a level that exceeds green-building requirements.  Most other ultra-premium brands contain VOC levels up to 16 times that of I.D Advanced. Wattyl I.D Advanced interior paint formula is available in water-based matt, low sheen and satin finishes plus Ceiling White.

Wattyl I.D Advanced retails from $71.90 for a 4L can and is available nationally from: Wattyl Paint Centres; Mitre 10; Home, Timber & Hardware; and other leading paint specialists.

Wattyl has also introduced a contactless service for those consumers wanting to maintain social distancing. Simply ring a local Wattyl Paint Centre and either place an order or ask for advice on a painting project. You will then be able to use Wattyl’s kerb-side pick-up service.
