Here, retro-based vintage colours are used for the new-look rooms, inspired by the furniture.
While traditional dining rooms tended to be stand-alone affairs, only used on high days or holidays, today’s dining spaces are often integrated with the kitchen for an effect that’s airy, friendly and relaxed. If yours needs a spruce-up, have a play with some paint colour charts, and see if you can dream up a new scheme.
Painted furniture: The fashion for painted furniture lets you be even more flexible with your colour schemes, and have even more fun! When painting furniture, use Resene Enamacryl (gloss) or Resene Lustacryl (semigloss) waterborne enamels, which are tough and can be tinted to your favourite Resene colour. Or for an on-trend chalky finish, use Resene SpaceCote Flat.
