Choice of floor tiles & paint colours

We wanted a modern feel to our first home. So, like many young couples out there, we settled on a black,white,grey & red theme.

Choice of floorings & painting were definitely essential in acheiving the feel.
We also decided to false ceiling the whole house, except kitchen area.
Reason being that downlights will cast a warmer look on the whole house.

We chose super glossy white homogenous floor tiles for the living & dining area.
And blackish-looking laminate flooring for the rooms.

For common toilet, we selected big-sized 600MMx600MM black tiles decked from floor to ceiling coupled with mosiac.
MBR toilet, we chose rustic-looking rectangular tiles also decked from floor to ceiling coupled with mosiac too.

For paint colours, we wanted dark grey walls for living room which seems to be the "in" colour for most homes now.

As for bedrooms, 2 of which were painted in warmer colours, brown & calmshell while another was painted in modern purple with midnight grey wall.


Here were the results of it:
