Fresh start

If a picture is worth a thousand words, adding the right colours to the view must be worth a thousand more. A bold interior scheme with a citrus bent gleams throughout a new Wellsford residence.

The colour palette of Resene Snow Drift (light grey), Resene Thunderbird (red orange), Resene Mortar (deep grey), Resene Wasabi (lime green) and Resene Gorse (yellow) was applied to sealed paperfaced plasterboard in Resene Zylone Sheen low sheen acrylic and Resene Lumbersider satin acrylic for a subtle gloss contrast. The juxtaposition of bright hues against subdued counterparts emphasises the differences between the two hues giving a pleasing touch of spice without overwhelming the senses.

Judicious use of colour gives residents the ability to surround themselves in a colour to suit their mood, then move rooms as their mood does.
