Hello and welcome to another issue of habitat.
By the time this magazine reaches you, warmer weather should be upon us, along with the enthusiasm we all have for DIY and maintenance projects that inevitably comes when the sun shines.
We have lots of new product and decorating ideas to share with you to help you make the most of your home and garden, from quick and easy ways to spruce up bathrooms and kitchens, to a close look at the latest design trends and handy project ideas you can do in a day.
We hope you find something in these pages to inspire and excite you – and if you need more expert advice, paint tips or just fresh colour inspiration, our friendly staff at your local Resene ColorShop are there to help you with every aspect of your decorating projects.
Happy decorating!
