Warm, cool, inviting, or atmospheric – a deft choice of colour has a major impact on your project

Standing out or seamlessly fitting in are often roles that fall to paint finishes. However, there are other ways that a paint choice can make the difference to a project

For this project, designers Yellowfox and QPC Build Group opted to add colour to the master bedroom to differentiate the private space from the rest of the home.

Plus, introducing a slightly darker, moodier colour to the walls – Resene Tuna – and leaving both the trims and ceilings in Resene Half Black White helps to frame the private and generous-sized bedroom.

The dark tone also makes the bedroom’s custom feature wooden shutters pop.

Resene Tuna was carried right through the room to luxurious effect. A matte finish, such as Resene SpaceCote Flat, brings extra depth and luxe to dark colours.

The paint introduced a strong sense of character in its own right, and this look is accentuated when paired with darker linens and drapes. The result is a characterfilled retreat that is refined and elegant.

The designers chose Resene for the rest of the interior, too, including opting for Resene Half Gravel in the powder room.
