Favourite colourKaren Walker Smalt Blue
The Langman family have just completed a renovation to the living area of their 1950s stucco house, which was still the original floor plan when they purchased it three years ago. It was set up with small rooms and they felt so bunched in that they had some walls removed to open up the lounge area to flow into the kitchen and dining room.

After looking at numerous options they chose Resene paints. They redecorated their bedroom a few years back and used Resene Karen Walker Smalt Blue and it came up amazingly. Within the living area they wanted a natural colour with some depth to lift the Rimu and wooden blinds. After not finding a colour to suit, they decided to use the Karen Walker Smalt Blue again but as a feature.

They did this and teamed this up with Resene Half Napa, which they used on the surrounding walls through the lounge and kitchen and over the bricks around the fireplace. Whenever guests visit the colour choices are the talking point, with everyone commenting on how great it looks and wanting to know what colours were used.
