Washed in whitewash


From the Resene colour inspiration – latest looks gallery

This fresh cool room manages to take the essence of trendy Scandi cool, and blend it with a distinctly local natural style.

The H3 treated plywood-lined walls retain a modern minimalist look with the use of Resene Colorwood Whitewash. This allows the beauty of the woodgrain to show through and add visual texture. The walls are then protected with Resene AquaClear urethane.

The floor, painted in mild-mannered Resene Eighth Stonewashed acts as the perfect canvas from which to launch the rest of the room in layers of warm neutrals and textures.

Mood board: A cool Scandi eco feel with a strong ties to natural textures. Background is pine plywood finished in Resene Resene Colorwood Whitewash, protected with Resene AquaClear urethane and A4 drawdown paint samples in Resene Influential, Resene Colins Wicket and Resene Rice Cake.  Accessories: Large Brass Wall Mirror and Aura Waffle Bath Sheets in Dove from Flux Boutique; Natural Plaited Jute Mat, Mavis & Osborn Cotton Waffle Towels in Turmeric and Natural Fibre, Nailbrush from Paper Plane; Netting Bag from Blackbird Goods; Buddy High Curved Spout Basin Mixer in Aged Brass, Sublime Vessel Basin and Sublime Freestanding Bath from Plumbline.

The clean lines of the vanity unit are painted in the darker, earthy Resene Colins Wicket to add dimension and depth to the room. It also makes the paler accessories such as the towel ladder in Resene Rice Cake, a simple vase in Resene Half Stone Age and the hand basin pop against the other neutrals.

As a modern interpretation for bathroom storage, a ladder is used for towels and two round hooks, painted in Resene Rococo and Swiss Caramel, for extra hanging space. This is colour scheme that cries out for plenty of natural accents and accessories like the plait jute mat, the woven light shade and even the textures of the waffle towels or something as simple as a string bag.

Pops of bolder colour, such as the plant pot in Resene Influential, and the deep yellow of the hand towel add interest, while the dramatic, on-trend, round brass mirror and aged brass tapware bring added warmth and lustre.

The final touch to this eco cool look is plants. Whether it’s the stark beauty of bare branches or lush living greenery, this is a room that take plenty of plant life.
