Red black and whiteMichelle’s daughter choose the colours for her bedroom makeover. She used the Resene Colour Personality Test to determine she is an autumn person and chose Resene Havoc. They thought painting the entire room red would make it seem dark but it had the opposite effect. The room seems very bright and enticing due to the light from the large window and the shade of paint colour. The rest of the room continues the red, black and white theme. The computer desk was painted Resene Super Gloss white and the existing black trim made it perfect for the room. The white furniture and black lampshade gave enough contrast to keep the red walls from taking over. The damaged window trim (home to an ants'nest!) had to be replaced so they decided to make a feature of it by painting the trim with Resene Enamacryl gloss waterborne enamel in Resene Nero. The same paint was also used on the existing whiteboard and corkboard frames. One side of the two doors in the room has been painted with Resene Blackboard Paint which is perfect for creative drawings and useful to write reminders. The theme even continues into the closet by painting the inside with Resene Havoc and covering the shelves and floor with the lino squares. The project had many challenges including the asbestos texture in the ceiling that needed to be removed by a professional. The next problem was discovering beautiful wooden floorboards under the carpet... only over half the floor! Half the room (along with an adjoining hall) was the original lounge to this 1950s 2-bedroom house. In the mid-70s a lounge/dining area was built on and this third bedroom room was created. The newer section of the house has pressed board flooring, so they needed a solution to cover up the difference in flooring in this room. Fortunately they found some discontinued black and white linoleum self-adhesive square tiles that were just perfect.
