Have you done something bold or interesting with paint or wallpaper in a small room in your house? It could be an office, nursery, laundry or powder room – the only criteria is it's small in space but big in impact.
We'd love to see your efforts. Send us some images of your chosen room and be in to win $1000 in our Small Room Awards.
YH&G + Resene
Email photos and a 200-word description of your space to yhg@aremedia.co.nz with your last name and 'Resene Small Room' in the subject line. Please include your name, home address, email address, daytime phone number, the names of the Resene colours used, and details of when your space was painted and/or wallpapered. Please credit anyone who assisted you in choosing your colours.
The five finalists will each appear in Your Home and Garden. Every finalist will receive a $250 Resene ColorShop voucher and a feature in the magazine, with the winner taking out the Resene Small Room Awards and $1000 cash, plus a story on the winning home will feature in the February 2024 issue.
