Decorating articles and inspiration from TrendsIdeas
The language of a new development within an existing heritage site needs to be sympathetic to the original area, even if it does not copy it.
A large glass atrium on the north facade of Britomart place helps to reduce its bulk among the older buildings, and makes a feature of the dramatic colourful stairway and glazed lift shaft behind it.
Karen Warman, Resene marketing manager, says waterborne enamels, such as Resene Spacecote Low Sheen on this staircase, are popular for commercial and residential interiors as these waterborne paints are low-odour, Environmental choice-approved and come in a wide range of colours from the Resene Total Colour System. They are durable and easy to wipe down, particularly the higher gloss finishes, Resene Enamacryl gloss waterborne enamel and Resene Lustacryl semi-gloss waterborne enamel. Resene Spacecote Low Sheen is tough, durable and washable. In critical light areas, the reduced side sheen of Resene Spacecote Low Sheen will minimise surface imperfections. Part of the Resene Spacecote range is Resene Spacecote Low Sheen Kitchen & Bathroom formulated with anti-bacterial silver and MoulDefender to inhibit mould and bacteria in wet areas.
To make colour selection simple, Resene regularly releases The Range fashion fandeck. The latest fandeck presents more than 150 colours, and illustrates shades that work well together.
