“This collaboration with Nala Designs is a sensible one because they are passionate about creating Malaysian-inspired artwork which is vibrant and eye-catching, but more importantly capable of inspiring individuals. This is a parallel to what Dulux advocates.

Scheers said: Colours play an important role in out daily lives, and it is a great way to make use of colours to paint, regardless of the canvas. However, painting is somewhat underappreciated today, because many think of it as time-consuming and frankly inconsequential. To change this mindset, we have collaborated with Dulux to showcase the power of colours through the painting of walls whereby not only is this the most impactful way, but it is also the most affordable. It’s impactful in the sense that colours can change the way the space you live in looks like, especially when you begin playing around with textures. The colour of your walls can also affect your mood!
