I’ve been living in my new home for almost six months now, and I finally have the chance to share a glimpse into our renovation journey. After months of planning, comparing colour palettes, and curating mood boards, the transformation finally began. One of the most important decisions we faced was choosing the right paint. One that would not only enhance our space aesthetically but also be safe and sustainable for everyday living.

That’s where Raffles Paint came in. As a trusted local brand known for its eco-friendly formulations, premium finishes, and professional service, it felt like the perfect fit for our home. Before renovation, I used to think paint was just about colour and nothing more. But after visiting the Raffles Paint showroom, I realised there’s so much more that goes into it. From texture to formulation and finish, I learned how the right paint can completely elevate a space while making it healthier to live in.
Why we decided on Limewash in Champagne Cream
For our living room, we wanted to create a space that felt calm, cozy, and timeless. We were instantly drawn to the soft, organic charm of limewash walls, and Raffles Paint’s Champagne Cream was love at first sight. The warm, neutral hue beautifully reflects natural light, creating a bright yet soothing atmosphere. We even took it a step further by extending the limewash from the walls up to the ceiling for a seamless, enveloping look.
The Raffles Paint team applied two coats of R.Limewash, finishing it with a layer of protective varnish to achieve a water-resistant yet elegantly matte surface. The outcome is a textured, velvety finish that adds depth, warmth, and a sense of understated luxury — perfectly embodying the timeless aesthetic we envisioned.
Why We Love R.Limewash:
• Breathable & Moisture-Regulating: Allows walls to “breathe,” reducing humidity build-up.
• Eco-Friendly & Solvent-Free: A non-toxic, sustainable choice for healthier interiors.
• Bacteria & Mould Resistant: Naturally alkaline lime helps prevent microbial growth.
• Odour-Eliminating & Air-Purifying: Keeps indoor air clean and fresh.
• Timelessly Beautiful: A one-of-a-kind finish that ages gracefully, adding character over time.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: R.BABY Range
Another reason we chose Raffles Paint was its strong focus on health and sustainability. For the rest of our home, we went with the R.BABY Air Purifying & Anti-Bacterial Paint and Primer — a range specially formulated for nurseries and homes with individuals who have eczema or sensitive skin, like myself.
If you know me, you’ll know that I’ve struggled with eczema for quite some time. That’s why I was immediately drawn to this range, which is gentle enough for babies and safe for those with skin sensitivities.
What I love most is that R.BABY is zero-VOC, odour-free, and engineered to purifyindoor air by absorbing harmful formaldehyde and converting it into water vapour — keeping the air in our home cleaner and fresher every day.
Key Features of R.BABY:
• Air-Purifying & Anti-Bacterial: Shields against E. Coli, MRSA, and fungi.
• Baby-Safe & Odour-Free: Ideal for bedrooms and family spaces.
• Ultra Durable & Washable: Resistant to water, alkaline, and stains.
• Zero VOC & Non-Toxic: Free from formaldehyde, lead, mercury, and ammonia.
• Smooth, Vibrant Finish: Provides excellent coverage and lasting colour.
Professional Preparation and Care
The Raffles Paint team’s professionalism made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. They arrived on time, covered all furniture and fixtures, and prepped every surface meticulously with primer before painting. The entire process was efficient and precise, and it was incredibly satisfying to watch our blank walls transform into warm, character-filled spaces.
