Inner sanctum


Decorating articles and inspiration from TrendsIdeas

Colour is one of the most dramatic ways to transform your home, and a distinct feature of the Sanctum interiors.

Resene marketing manager Karen Warman says the colours used for the Sanctum project are from The Range Whites and Neutrals collection, proving popular with homeowners who want to create a tranquil, subdued or minimalist look.

Resene’s Black White has been used on the ceilings and walls to create a heavy base for minimalist decor. Blue stone hearths feature in all penthouse suites, with Resene Napa on the plaster wall above.

The Resene Total Colour System makes it easy to choose the best shades for your project, with colour charts and tools that help you decide what colours and combinations work best. The colour tools include colour libraries of over 2000 A4 swatches of Resene colours, allowing you to get a true feeling for the colour. Once you’ve decided on a favourite, pick up a Resene testpot so you can try out the colour on your own project.

Resene’s website also offers advice on ways to use colour, with case studies showing how designers have used colour well.
