Built in storage look

Look through space

Hidden mural

Working from home - home office

Utilise awkward spaces — If you are looking to create a home office or part-time WFH situation, try to utilise an awkward or unused space such as an alcove or end of a hallway.

Roll away storage — If you don’t have enough storage for your home office space or you simply want to be able to roll away your office at the end of the day, a trolley is what you need. A great way to help separate your work and home life when working from home.

Library corner option — Stack picture ledges to create a library corner and display all your beautiful books. We have painted ours in the same colour as the wall, Resene Alert Tan.

Write on wall — Create a functional and fun element to your office space by adding a circular ‘whiteboard’ using Resene Write-On-Wall paint. Simply apply over your existing light coloured wall paint.

Look through space - with hidden mural

Transitional spaces — Think about how the colour palettes of your rooms transition from one space into another. If there are view points that both palettes are visible, think about how they relate to each other.

A colourful surprise — A mural can bring a space to life and offer even more delight is if it is hidden from some view points, only discoverable as you move through a space.
