It's probably not surprising to see a growing demand for tranquil interiors. They are, after all, a refreshing antidote to busy lifestyles.

For this remodelled kitchen, designed by Celia Visser of Celia Visser Design, the sense of calm and simplicity comes from the monochromatic colour palette. The white walls, ceiling and cabinets contrast sleek stainless steel appliances and trim.

Visser says Resene Half Sea Fog, which is a white with a hint of grey, was chosen as the best match for the stainless steel. The colour also works with the whitewashed floorboards and the grey patterning in the marble benchtops.

Resene Half Sea Fog is from The Resene Whites & Neutrals fandeck, which presents a collection of the most popular whites and neutrals. The fandeck offers variations in the strength of colours to make it easy to choose a tonal colour scheme.

The paint type for the walls and ceiling is Resene Zylone Sheen, an Environmental Choice-approved, waterborne enamel that is tough, durable and washable.

Other Resene paint options for kitchens include Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen and Resene ArmourCat, which is particularly well suited to cabinetry.
