Seaside ambience

Decorating articles and inspiration from TrendsIdeas

The seaside ambience of the Sumar holiday home at Whangapoua is reflected in the paint colours. Interior walls and ceilings feature Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen tinted to Resene Black White, with accent walls in Resene Eighth Mondo – a soft grey-brown neutral that adopts the tonings of the surrounding colours.

Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen is well suited to family living areas. Being a waterborne, low-odour, Environmental Choice-approved paint, it provides a durable, washable finish. The paint is suited to renovations too, as its reduced sheen minimises surface imperfections.

At the beach – the colour of the sand dunes can be seen in the walls and ceilings, which are painted in Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen. Feature walls are in Resene Eighth Mondo, a soft grey-brown neutral, while the main walls and ceilings are in Resene Black White, a chalky grey white. The colours complement the concrete aggregate flooring. This master bedroom features a dressing area and wardrobe behind a freestanding wall.

Resene paints also feature on the exterior. The concrete block fireplace is painted in Resene X-200 acrylic waterproofing membrane, in the colour Resene Fuscous Grey. Exposed steelwork is finished in Resene Uracryl, tinted to Resene Fuscous Grey. Resene Uracryl is a two-coat system that provides a tough, durable finish.

The Rockcote plastered walls also feature Resene Quarter Tea, which is from The Range Whites & Neutrals fandeck.
