Clever use of colour can transform your kitchen. You can also appreciate the durability of a low-sheen, waterborne enamel with Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen.

Mixing materials is a popular design trend. But it is colour that will really set off key features – think sleek, stainless steel appliances against a dark, navy backdrop, or timber beams highlighted by an off-white ceiling.

The two kitchens shown here both feature Resene colours from The Range, a collection of fashion shades. One kitchen presents a lively, colourful living area, while the other reflects a more subtle design approach. Both kitchens were painted with Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen, a low-sheen, waterborne paint that provides a tough, durable, enamel-like finish, well suited to kitchens and other wet areas.

Resene marketing manager Karen Warman says Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen provides all the benefits of a waterborne paint, such as low odour and easy clean-up.

In addition, in critical light areas, the paint’s reduced side sheen will minimise the appearance of surface imperfections. “Combined with a skim coating of Resene Broadwall Surface Prep, a great finish is easy to achieve,” says Warman.
