Colour is one of the most dramatic ways to transform your home, and a distinct feature of the Sanctum interiors.

Resene marketing manager Karen Warman says the colours used for the Sanctum project are from a collection of natural tones currently proving popular with homeowners who want to create a tranquil, subdued or minimalist look.

The Resene Total Colour System makes it easy to choose the best shades for your project, with colour charts and a fan deck of swatches that help you decide what combinations work best.

Fan decks are published annually and feature more than 150 different shades that reflect local and international trends.

Resene's website also offers advice on different ways to use colour. It provides case studies that show how designers have used colour well, everywhere from bedrooms to exteriors, and is an ideal place to find new decorating ideas.
