dare to be bold


From Habitat magazine - issue 23

A sizzling urban courtyard.

With a bit of Mexican sizzle and a dash of California cool, this courtyard is the place to be on those lazy summer days.

Black is a go-to colour for garden fences, often as a shadowy backdrop to perimeter planting. In this case, it's up front and on show in Resene CoolColour All Black – the ultimate colour partner for sizzling turquoise blues and clean greens like Resene Dauntless for the upcycled pallet table, and Resene Ziggurat, Resene Java and Resene Dali for the pots. Throw in some mustard yellow accents in the low Resene Chenin pot and cushions for pops of citrusy warmth.

The house wall above is Resene Double Truffle, and the concrete pavers have been stained in Resene Bleached Grey from the Resene Concrete Stain range. Just add a cocktail and you're ready to relax.

Upcycle a pallet

Upcycle a pallet to make a low mobile outdoor coffee table. We've painted this one in Resene Dauntless, then attached some castors on the bottom, and it's ready to roll.
