Decorating articles and inspiration from TrendsIdeas
Colour plays a significant role in the design of the house – the contrast between the dark exterior and off-white interior helps to define the architectural features.
Resene paints were specified for the project, with Resene CoolColour, tinted to Resene Bokara Grey chosen for the exterior. Resene CoolColour is formulated to reflect more of the sun's infrared rays than a standard colour, which helps to keep the paint, surface and home cooler.
A secondary benefit is that the reduced stress on the coating and substrate will help to increase the expected lifetime of each, compared to the standard version of the colour.
The interior features Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen, a waterborne enamel that provides a tough, durable finish, tinted to Resene Alabaster. Resene Quarter Thorndon Cream features in the master bedroom, while bathroom window surrounds and internal doors are in Resene Lustacryl semi-gloss waterborne enamel tinted to Resene Bokara Grey. All the colours were chosen from the Resene The Range Whites & Neutrals fandeck, a collection of the most popular Resene whites and neutrals.
