It’s original

Colour trends from NZ House and Garden magazine

Set your imagination free.

We’re all looking for something a little different, a touch of uniqueness to add to our interiors so that our home doesn’t look like all the others. Paint is an easy way to achieve this. Not only is there a seemingly infinite number of Resene colours to choose from, but you can use them in a number of creative ways. Dig deep and find your inner artist. Take a lead from some retro paint effects – remember rag rolling? This room shows that an established technique can be reinvented to make an extraordinary and contemporary free-form mural in your own home. Looking like a bruised sunset sky in an impressionist painting, the wall of this bedroom is easier to achieve than you might think – use a ragroll technique or an extra-large paint brush to add strokes and daubs of paint. See the Get Inspired page for more ideas.
