Point of difference

The square-edged forms and contrasting colour palette of the showhome's exterior extend to the interior, ensuring visual continuity between inside and out. A highlight of the spacious family living area is a large feature wall painted in Resene Livid Brown from the Resene Karen Walker Collection.

The soft tones of Resene Midwinter Mist from The Range 2009 contrast the feature wall and enhance the home's light, airy interior. The colour also provides a neutral backdrop for artworks and complements the natural timber flooring.

Painted in Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen, the interior highlights an environmentally friendly paint option. The waterborne enamel is an Environmental Choice-approved paint. It is well suited to family living areas, as it is tough, durable and washable. In critical light areas, its reduced side sheen will minimise surface imperfections.

To help you work out the best colour selection for your own home, Resene releases a new The Range fashion fandeck each year. The latest fandeck presents more than 150 colours, and illustrates shades that work well together.
