A bustling office, home to several boutique businesses, gets a vibrant makeover with a palette of Resene colours.

Studies have shown that an innovative office environment is also a productive workplace. It's a concept that was put into practice by a design team at the Annex, which is home to several boutique businesses in the design-build industry.

Bright yellow walls painted in Resene Spotlight enliven the interior of the Annexe, a shared office environment that is home to a number of small design businesses.

The designers at Yellowfox wanted a vibrant interior that would reflect the bustling hub. Paint colours were chosen from the Resene The Range fandeck. These include Resene Spotlight, Resene Koru, Resene Rock N Roll and Resene Pukeko. These bright colours were balanced by a crisp neutral, Resene Eighth Thorndon Cream. Resene Write-On Wall Paint was also used, as a topcoat to strips painted in Resene Spotlight.

Resene Write-on Wall Paint is a clear finish that can be applied over an existing painted wall to turn it into a whiteboard. Once dry and cured you can write on the surface using whiteboard markers. The writing can be removed easily with a soft cloth.

Wallpaper was another important element that helped to make the area come alive. Resene Walltrends 25139 enhances the long entry corridor, and was accented by a door painted in Resene Rock N Roll.
