Case studies / awards project gallery – Australia

Inspiration for your painting, staining and decorating projects.

View case studies of projects in Australia that have used Resene products including many from our Resene Total Colour Awards. Click on a project to view, use the search function or view the project archive or newletter archive, which contain all NZ and AUS projects. We hope these projects provide inspiration for decorating projects of your own.

We’re always on the lookout for interesting residential, commercial, government and landscape projects to share through Resene media, such as the habitat and Resene websites, social media and the other independent media we work with. If you have a project finished in Resene paints, wood stains or coatings, we’d love to see it and have the opportunity to showcase it... learn more
