seasonal switch-outs Spring Soft, gelato shades suit the sweet country style of this room where old crates are used as coffee tables. Paint them in just one coat, using Resene testpots, to give them a rustic weathered look – these are in Resene Sazerac and Resene Cut Glass. An old ladder is painted in Resene Moonbeam and pressed into service as a decorative object, and to act as a shelf. The Resene Nocturnal wall is joined by a side wall in Resene Poet, and vases are painted in Resene Poet and Resene Cut Glass. Take one colour and make it work for all seasons Some paint colours are just made for flexibility. White is one of them, and black and charcoal are others. We took on-trend Resene Nocturnal, a deep charcoal, and teamed it with other Resene colours to show how it can be transformed for four seasonal looks. Of course, other elements in the room are easy to change out for a fresh seasonal look. Swap velvet cushions for linen or colourfully patterned ones, or swap a plush-cut woollen rug for a jute mat or leave the floorboards rug- free for summer. Resene Meditation 28 |
