In the mood
A funky space that’s a little bit masculine and full of character – that’s what was
requested for this bathroom, which features walls painted in Resene Jaguar
A sense of adventure often spells the
difference between a staid, predictable
design and one that really stands out.
This new bathroom, designed by
Rebecca Banks of Stewart Scott Cabinetry,
reflects an unexpected, yet sophisticated
approach to bathroom design.
The clients wanted a large, masculine
vanity that would complement the era of
the home, but offer modern functionality.
The solution was a white laminate vanity
with exposed birch ply edge.
To create a sense of drama, the vanity,

fixtures and wall tiles were contrasted
with a dark paint. Resene Jaguar – a bold
inky tone – features on the walls.
“Resene Jaguar creates the perfect
backdrop for the masculine elements, and
suits my clients’ good taste,” says Banks.
Resene recommends bathroom walls
are painted in Resene SpaceCote Low
Sheen or Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen
Kitchen & Bathroom paint, with ceilings
in Resene SpaceCote Flat Kitchen & Bathroom, and Resene Lustacryl Kitchen &
Bathroom for the trim and joinery. These

waterborne, low-odour, Environmental
Choice-approved paints have a durable,
washable finish that resists bacteria and
mould.
