Give your outdoor spaces longer life with cosy colours. More time to enjoy...
Getting more use out of the spaces in our homes came to the fore when we were all spending more time at home working and learning remotely, and it’s a good principle to maintain. Many of us let our outdoor living spaces hibernate over winter but with some warm Resene colours, comfy furniture, plenty of cushions and throws and cleverly positioned screens, you can enjoy these spaces into autumn and beyond. An added twist in this courtyard is the side screen finished in Resene FX Faux Rust Effect, a waterborne coating which looks just like real rust – and will continue to develop as the coating ages.
