Sunny side up Splashes of bright yellow Resene Golden Dream add a whimsical touch to this Modernist kitchen Yellow is a happy colour, and there’s plenty to make you smile in this new kitchen in a contemporary home. Designer Celia Visser CKD/CBNZ/ PDINZ of Celia Visser Design was asked to transform the kitchen and family living area into a lively, fun space where family and friends could relax and socialise. The designer says she chose to use bright yellow accents against a backdrop of pure white. These include surfaces painted in Resene Golden Dream, which Resene describes as an energetic fantasy of strong yellow. “Yellow challenges the conventional form of the turned table legs,” Visser says. “And the hint of colour adorning some of the cabinets adds a mischievous dimension to the design.” The white cabinets are painted in Resene Alabaster, a near white with a light blackened edge. The same shade features on the walls. Resene recommends walls in kitchens are painted in Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen Kitchen & Bathroom paint. This waterborne, low-odour, Environmental Choice-approved paint provides a durable, washable finish, and is formulated to protect against bacteria and mould. Resene SpaceCote Flat Kitchen & Bathroom is recommended for ceilings. For details, visit a Resene ColorShop, or freephone 0800 RESENE (737 363).
