In the frame country house kitchen cabinets and walls painted by Resene

Home interiors are often designed to convey a sense of escape, which is one of the reasons why warm neutral tones are so popular they create a relaxed ambience.

The owners of this country house had the added bonus of a picturesque outlook to consider when choosing paint colours. To provide a quiet, yet contrasting backdrop to the view and the light taupe cabinets, the design team from Yellow Fox chose Resene Masala for the walls. Ceilings are painted in Resene Quarter Thorndon Cream. Both colours are from The Range Whites & Neutrals fandeck.

Resene marketing manager Karen Warman says Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen Kitchen & Bathroom is the most suitable paint type for kitchens. This waterborne, low-odour, Environmental Choice-approved paint provides a durable, washable finish. And because it is formulated with anti-bacterial silver and MoulDefender, it provides protection against bacteria and mould.

Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen is also ideal for renovation projects as its reduced sheen minimises surface imperfections.

Resene The Range fandecks can help you make your colour choice.
