Defining colour

No matter when your house was built it's likely you will want to revitalise the interior every few years. But this doesn't have to involve major structural changes. Sometimes all that is needed is a fresh coat of paint.

Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen is an Environmental Choice-approved paint just as well-suited to older homes as new ones. The waterborne enamel is tough, durable and washable. And, in critical light areas, its reduced side sheen will minimise surface imperfections.

Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen in Resene Livid Brown features on the accent wall in the house shown above left, which was built by David Reid Homes. The deep brown is paired with Resene Midwinter Mist on the walls of the living room.

The house pictured above right, designed by Masonry Design Solutions, is painted in Resene Zylone Sheen, another Environmental Choice-approved paint. Resene Truffle features on the walls and Resene Quarter Truffle on the ceilings. Both these shades are from the Resene Whites & Neutrals fandeck, which presents a collection of the most popular whites and neutrals. Variations in strength make it easy to choose a tonal colour scheme.
