Texture and colour go hand in glove.

These pots are coated with Resene Sandtex then painted in Resene Pale Oyster and Resene Tana. The table is in Resene Spark (metallic) and Resene Waterborne Woodsman Riverstone stain. The placemat is in Resene Waterborne Woodsman Equilibrium stain and the timber tray in Resene Waterborne Woodsman Bleached Riverstone.

Our experience of colour becomes more than just the visual. As an all-encompassing sensory experience, we ask that colour become the messenger of broader concepts – texture, gloss, matte. We want to touch and feel our home’s surfaces, to have them warm our souls and envelope all of our senses.

Texture and the colours of nature go hand in glove. Warm browns carry echoes of roughened tree bark, loamy soil, porous lava rock, a creviced cliff face. Burnished metallics and subtle glittering effects add mystery and depth.

Outdoor patio: Texture is so prevalent in nature, we feel an organic connection to it. Resene Resitex and Resene Sandtex create a textured backdrop for an ombred finish using Resene Sambuca, Resene Papier Mache and Resene Martini. The hanging chair is stained in Resene Waterborne Woodsman Bleached Riverstone with Resene Alabaster stripes. The deer heads and stool are in Resene Whitewash and the stool legs are painted in Resene Alabaster. The table is stencilled in a mix of Resene stains and metallic paints.  Home interior: Anaglypta wallpaper painted in Resene Albescent White. Accents of rich terracotta marry beautifully with plenty of texture. The floor is Resene Double Biscotti, the skirting is Resene Quarter Alabaster, the sideboard is Resene Desperado, and the peg stools are Resene Rumour Has It (left) and Resene Entourage (right). The large vase is Resene Calibre, the thin vase is Resene On Track and the large bowl on the floor is Resene Ayers Rock.
