in the clouds

Create this subtle ombre effect that looks like a cross between concrete and clouds – the perfect whimsical backdrop for a relaxing summer. The effect is achieved using a colourwash technique with Resene Half Raven, Resene Grey Chateau, Resene Double Concrete and Resene Half Concrete. Then dress the room by adding some bold accents in deep yellow and black. The tall vase and side table are painted in Resene All Black, the bowl is in Resene Aloha and the narrow vase is in Resene Celebrate. The plywood floor is finished with Resene Colorwood Whitewash.
