Bold colour for Victorian terrace

When it comes to colour, it doesn't always pay to take the safe option. Taking a bold approach can pay dividends, as this project shows.
Terry Hogg of Lick Light + Colour won the Resene Total Colour Award Residential Interior 2013 for the interior of this Victorian terrace house. The interior features a distinctive colour scheme that contrasts saturated shades with more subdued neutrals.

The palette includes Resene Indian Ink on a wall beside the stairs. This is a blackened blue a colour reminiscent of a night sky without moonlight. Another bold shade, Resene Kaitoke Green, features on the walls on the upper level of the house. Resene describes this colour as a bold, bushwalk green.
Resene Oilskin, a more subdued shade, was specified for the master bedroom. Terry Hogg says this colour was chosen to create a rich, masculine ambience.

Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen was used for the hallways, with Resene SpaceCote Flat in the bedroom. Resene SpaceCote is an Environmental Choice-approved waterborne enamel, well suited to renovations.
