Your one-stop shop

Resene has everything you need for your decorating project, from quality colour and paints, decorating accessories and professional advice to help you get a superb finish on your project inside or out.

Choose from thousands of colours or let us create a custom colour match for you. Once you've chosen your favourite get it tinted into the Resene product of your choice using Resene's exclusive no added VOC tinters. Complement your paint choices with our wide range of wallpaper, wall decals, and curtains to bring the complete look together.

If you're painting a dark colour outside, consider opting for a Resene CoolColour™ finish. A Resene CoolColour is made with special pigment technology so it reflects more heat than normal, keeping your paint and home cooler.

We also have an extensive range of wood stains, metallics, clear finishes, specialist and textured finishes to bring out the best in your home.
