Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen Kitchen & Bathroom combines anti-bacterial silver protection and MoulDefender mould inhibitor, perfect for minimising unwanted nasties in kitchens, bathrooms and laundries. ReseneTriple MondoSays Sarah: Because we are beside the sea and because they are not big spaces, youd expect to go white and bright. We just didnt want to do the obvious. I think the darker the room, the darker you make it, so it feels like a little jewel box.But before they decided on surface finishes, Sarah and Lloyd had to juggle spaces. The former rental property had a long narrow guest roomonthegroundfloorwhichwasanythingbutwelcoming. Upstairs, there was barely any room for a dining room and instead of a pampering master suite, there were two average-sized bedrooms and a very small bathroom. So Lloyd reconfigured the ground floor space to shorten the bedroom intoamoreappealingsizeandcreateseparatezones,cleverly squeezing in a walk-through dressing room to a glowing jewel-box bathroom. There was nowhere to fit a window, so Lloyd created two glittering light sources: an uplight running around the pelmet of the room creates a glow off the red ceiling, while a slice of frosted glass skylight borrows light from the master bathroom on the floor above. And then Sarah unhesitatingly nailed the colour palette in one sitting from a thumbnail off a colour chart on her computer. Ive worked with colours enough to know this would work, she admits. The ceiling is a perfect ox blood red (called, more gently, Resene Red Berry) while the walls are Resene Sambuca, a deep dark chocolate brown. The rooms are a glowing progression from the grainy aromatic beigeReseneof Resene Caraway in the guest bedroom and dressing room.Caraway'
