Light-filled and modern, this home benefits from key Resene paint choices

Sunny, spacious, and ideally set-up for a relaxed family life and great entertaining, this showhome by a leading New Zealand home builder accentuates its designer charms with a contemporary paint palette.

The Hobsonville home – designed and built by Landmark Homes – features out-standing craftsmanship and contemporary Resene paint finishes both inside and out.

The two-storey home offers a dramatic street presence with distinctive two-tone cladding in Resene Alabaster, a crisp white, matched with Resene Element, a warm, earthy stone. The soffits and eaves of the home are also in Resene Alabaster.

For the exterior joinery, fascia and garage door, Colorsteel FlaxPod was used. This is directly matched to Resene Element.

Resene Alabaster also features on the majority of the interior walls, the generous kitchen, living and dining space included. However, there's a living area accent wall in Resene Bokara Grey and the kitchen scullery boasts the same deep charcoal.

Resene Snapshot – another modern grey – was used in the media room, master suite walk-in wardrobe, second bathroom and also in the powder room.

Most Resene paints used here are also available in Resene’s popular CoolColour range. Resene CoolColours allow darker tones to retain their appealing good looks for decades by reflecting harmful solar rays.
