This restful interior colour
scheme won the Resene
Total Colour Residential
Interior Award
More than responding to our favourite
colour choices, the right paint can have a
dramatic effect on the mood of an interior.
The interior of this home by Donnell
& Day Architecture is a case in point. The
Resene colours were specified to link the
house to the natural world. Sand, sea, sky
and stone colours ensure the spaces flow
together and help bring the outside in.
Blue walls shift in hue in a similar way to
how the sea changes tone through the day.
The pristine Resene Alabaster ceiling
flows from inside to the outside verandah,
blurring the boundary between room and
garden. Colour accents feature where the
neutral sandy brick or natural recycled
wood are the predominant colours.
The hues for the children’s rooms were
chosen to offer a calming backdrop to their
busy lives – Resene Blumine in the boy’s
room and Resene Nepal in the girl’s room.
Resene Blue Bayoux lightens the space
under the stairs while the white walls are
in Resene Barely There. The flat and low
sheen finishes – Resene Zylone Sheen and
Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen – soften the
light and colours for a natural effect.
The scheme won the Resene Total
Colour Residential Interior Award. Judges
said the colours are sensitive to the home’s
external environment, bringing elements
indoors without overpowering the interior.
