There was no doubting the design brief for this new kitchen the owners wanted a real conversation piece, with plenty of dramatic impact.

Designer Kira Gray specified a mix of material and colours to help achieve this, including Antique Brown granite and dark timber, which frames the cooking centre.

The main wall colour is Resene Quarter Pavlova, a warm cotton-beige tone. This is contrasted by Resene Akaroa, a muted pebble grey, and Resene Quarter Pearl Lusta, a barely-there cream, on all trims.

Gray also introduced an adventurous touch that reinforces the wow factor a bright yellow-gold feature wall painted in Resene Wazzup.

The walls are painted in Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen Kitchen & Bathroom paint. This waterborne, low-odour, Environmental Choice-approved paint provides a durable, washable finish. It is formulated with anti-bacterial silver and MoulDefender that gives added protection against bacteria and mould.

For kitchen ceilings, Resene SpaceCote Flat Kitchen & Bathroom is advised, while Resene Lustacryl Kitchen & Bathroom is suggested for the trim and joinery.
