Dramatic neutrals

Colours used in this home include Resene Akaroa on the inside walls and externally, as well as Resene Diesel coloured feature walls.

“I specified Resene paints because of the company’s exceptional technical and back-up services,” says architect Mark Wilson.

Resene marketing manager Karen Warman says the shades used here are from The Range Whites and Neutrals, a collection of natural tones currently proving popular with homeowners who want to create a tranquil, subdued, contemporary or minimalist look.

Resene makes choosing colours easy with fashion fandecks that are published annually and feature more than 150 different shades that reflect local and international trends.

Resene’s website also offers advice on different ways to use colour, through case studies that show how home owners have used colour, with examples from interiors to exteriors.

The Resene Total Colour System makes it easy to choose the best shades for your project, with colour charts and a fandeck of swatches that help you decide what combinations will work best.
