Durham Motor Inn
A testament to the power of colour and a fresh coat of paint, this accommodation now looks as good on the outside as the feedback guests give when they have stayed on the inside.
One of the original central city motels, the superbly situated Durham Motor Inn required a colour scheme that would emphasise modernity, reflecting the room interiors and service guests would enjoy during their stay without necessitating extensive and expensive building work.
The modern look was achieved with the versatile and popular hues of Resene Napa (smoky grey beige) and Resene Double Napa (changeable beige) on textured walls. The subtle colour difference between the two provides relief for the senses without drawing overt attention to specific elements of the building. The monochromatic scheme is complemented by detail work in Resene Barista (moody brown), a sophisticated colour choice for these accent areas.
