texture Organic, natural elements and tactile experiences help keep us anchored and soothe our souls. Adding texture to interiors can come in many and varied forms, from knobbly rubs and rough woven rattan lights, to chamois- soft linens and silken timbers. Visual texture is also important, and where Resene finishes like stains and polyurethanes come to the fore. Wood stains enhance the beauty of timber and allow the grain to show through. See the Resene Colorwood range for interior use, and Resene Woodsman range for exteriors. The finishes here are Resene Colorwood Greywash, Resene Colorwood Rock Salt and Resene Colorwood Pitch Black. metallics Gloss levels of all types are adding interest to interiors, whether it’s the chalky character of matte paint surfaces, or the glossier depths of high- gloss paint and metallics. Luxe these days isn’t blingy or in-your-face, but more subtle and sophisticated. Look for aged and burnished rather than shiny and bright. Also, opt for warm metallics like bronze, brass and copper rather than chromes and silvers. See the Resene Metallics & Special Effects colour range for more options. 36 |
