Beautiful brushstrokes

Abstract whimsy and self-expression are the modern way to really embed your personality and design vision into your interiors.

This hand-painted finish is achieved with a wall painted in Resene Wax Flower with brushstroke effect in Resene Cab Sav and Resene FX Paint Effects Medium mixed with Resene Scotch Mist. The floor is a warm contrast in Resene Cab Sav. Vases in Resene Wax Flower and Resene Scotch Mist. Table from Good Form, bedding from Foxtrot Home, cushions from Mulberi.

Brushstroke textures can be smaller and more considered to create a repeat pattern effect that is still organic and random.

This wall is painted in Resene Bleach White with brushstroke texture in Resene FX Paint Effects Medium mixed with Resene Cashmere.

Put some forethought into your design to create a finish that is eye-catching and coherent, rather than totally abstract.
