Art Deco master

The master bedroom of Gaylene's home had been in need of a serious makeover for some time. However, Gaylene had to overcome a major challenge before the work could begin - convincing her partner that (a) they needed to get the paintbrushes out and (b) that her choice of colour was the right one.

Gaylene selected the duvet cover first and then matched the paint colour from there. She was looking for a relaxing colour that would fit in with the colour scheme used in the rest of the house. The final wall colour selected was Resene Grey Suit, a wonderfully complex colour that they have found changes depending on the time of day and the lighting. The wall colour is complemented by white Resene Ceiling Paint on the ceiling and white Resene semi-gloss on the doors and trims.

The project started off with a quick plan of simply brightening the room, but as Gaylene was so pleased with the duvet and paint colour that she progressed the room scheme even further making new drapes, a feature of the bed and buying new carpet. While the makeover was a little more intensive than planned, the room is now finished and both Gaylene and her partner are really thrilled with the way it has turned out.
