make a sea change


From Habitat magazine - issue 28

A clever combo of sea greens transforms this room.

An easy-to-make feature wall created with painted ‘planks’ of plywood gives a rich backdrop to this colourful, yet contemporary room. Sea greens and teals are softened with soft greys for a look that suits any season and any style of house. The plank paint effect is done with a basecoat of Resene Inside Back, roughly over-brushed with Resene Gulf Stream, Resene Stromboli and Resene Half Opal. The floor is painted in Resene Inside Back, the coffee table legs are in Resene Half Gravel and the top is in Resene Alabaster. The side table is painted in Resene Bianca, the planter basket in Resene Billabong, the tall vase is in Resene St Kilda and the bowl is in Resene Wishlist.

An easy-to-make feature wall
Hansen 3-Seater in Mouse Grey Velvet and Tate Day Bed in Petrol Blue Velvet from Me and My Trend. Te Oka Floor Rug in Silver and Brazillian Cowhide in Gris Grey from Indie Home Collective. Sig Décor Honeycomb Column Vase in Teal from Allium Interiors. Michela Vessel in Brass, Pruitt Decorative Ornament in Copper (in bowl), Cacti Framed Canvas, Yasmine Throw in Grey, Broadway Cushion (plain) in Harbour, and Celera Cushion in Natural/Blue from Freedom Furniture.

Try this idea... Create a stunning and easy feature wall by cutting ply sheets into 300mm-wide ‘planks’, painting a basecoat of colour, then randomly brushing three to four other colours on top. Try out your colour combinations on a test plank first, using Resene testpots.
