Riikka painted her living room walls using full-matt Harmony interior paint in the light-blue shade J490 Rain from the Feel the Color -colour card. When you choose a Tikkurila interior paint and tint it with a shade from the Feel the Color -color card, you can be sure that the color you choose will look exactly the same in your home as it does on the colour chip - in all lighting conditions. "The whole family can use the space that is now painted in Tikkurila Rain shade. The room can be a playroom for the children, or perhaps a workspace for adults."

Putting the idea into practice
You can paint one workspace wall in just a couple of hours.
1. CLEAN
Wipe the surface of the wall clean. If the surface is clearly dirty, clean it using Tikkurila’s Maalipesu cleaning agent following the instructions on the label. Leave to dry.
2. PROTECT
Protect the floor with suitable paper before painting. Cover moldings and sockets with masking tape. If you had to level the wall surface or if the previous paint surface is dark in color, first apply a coat of Varma primer. Choose a shade of Varma primer that is close to the shade of the new topcoat.
3. PAINT
Stir the Harmony interior paint and apply 2 coats to the wall. Harmony is recoatable within 1-2 hours of painting, so you can finish the wall in just a few hours. Remove the masking tape before the paint has time to dry.
