Succulently lined


From the Resene colour inspiration – latest looks gallery

Whether you’re a proper plant lady or lad or simply wish you had a green thumb, there is no wilting or overwatering this succulent-inspired mini mural.

Created with a continuous line in Resene Midnight Express, this wall in Resene Rice Cake with tongue-and-groove panelling in Resene Smoke Tree has been completely brought to life.

Take the look a step further by making a companion piece of artwork using testpots in Resene Mariner and Resene Alabaster in a frame painted in Resene Midnight Express. The floor is finished in Resene Colorwood Mid Greywash timber stain, the shelf, side table and coaster are in Resene Bunting, the coffee table and round vase in Resene Felix, the tall woven vase is in Resene Grey Olive and tiny bud vases are in Resene Grey Olive and Resene Bunting.

For a similar look, you could create a painted rug using high-quality masking. Draw your design out first on paper, then measure and mask where you would like your painted rug to sit. Just like with a real rug, it’s a good idea to have part of it extend under a piece of furniture so that it doesn’t feel like your painted rug is floating off into space. For similar colours to this woven rug, start with two basecoats in Resene Dusted Blue and then add details in Resene Rice Cake.
