Check out the Resene Multi-finish collection The Resene Multi-finish collection is a handy decorating helpmate when it comes to building colourful tonal schemes. Each palette card in the collection follows a colour theme, whether it’s blues or greens or yellows. It’s easy to choose, say, three or four colours from one card or neighbouring palette cards that work well together. Far Left: Walls in Resene Black White, floor in Resene Nero, peg stools in Resene Half Gravel and Resene Delta, ladder in Resene Double Merino, plant pots and drawer fronts in Resene Double Merino, Resene Atmosphere and Resene Quarter Gravel. Left: Use layers of classic monochromatic tones with a background in Resene Nero, and A4 drawdown paint swatches in (from top) Resene Half Gravel, Resene Delta, Resene Double Merino, Resene Black White and Resene Atmosphere. top tip The handiest tool to creating a tonal colour scheme is paint. Instead of combing the shops for a vase that’s just the right shade, you can simply paint one using a Resene testpot or two. Op shops and $2 shops are the perfect place to pick up an affordable knick-knack that you can finish in your favourite colours. Resene White Island | 27
