From Habitat plus - decorating and colour trends 2021
Inside and out, timber – in all its finely grained beauty – continues to be in high demand.
Inside, blonde tones that evoke a Scandi vibe like Resene Colorwood Natural, Resene Colorwood Rock Salt or Resene Colorwood Whitewash are favourites. But when it comes to outside, there is no hotter choice than black for fences and weatherboards. Try Resene Waterborne Woodsman Pitch Black for a fully saturated urban contemporary look or go for Resene Waterborne Woodsman Sheer Black to see more of your timber’s grain and get an appealing rustic country barn aesthetic.
Note: If you are using a dark exterior colour, remember to ask for Resene CoolColour paint or stain. It reflects more of the sun's UV, keeping the paint and substrate cooler, minimising heat stress and potential damage.
Did you know... that Resene has a range of stains and oils so you can stain both interior and exterior timbers?
Check out the Resene Woodsman Range for exterior use and the Resene Colorwood range for interior use in colours from naturals to brights.
