This pavilion-style Landmark home has a warm, welcoming appeal, evoked in part by its durable exterior and interior Resene paint.

Street appeal and a welcoming interior are two key aspects to a new home design. And Landmark Homes addressed both on this pavilion-style, four bedroom home. The residence benefits from an extensive use of Resene paint both inside and out.

From the street, the distinctive gabled roofs are finished in Resene Ebony, a char-coal mid grey, as are the spouting and fascias. The Linea weatherboard cladding and soffits are Resene Quarter Alabaster, while the balance of the cladding is plaster over brick in Resene Half Nocturnal, also from the Resene Whites & Neutrals range.

Colour selections are easy with this collection, with multiple strengths of the same colour intended to complement each other.

For a natural accent, the showhome's entry door, garage door, and louvres are finished in Resene Shadow Match, from the Resene Woodsman colour range.

Inside, the walls and trim in the lounge, hall, family room, and most bedrooms are in varying strengths of Resene Ecru White, a soft beige, while the ensuite and ceilings are in Resene Alabaster. The bathroom is in Resene Duck Egg Blue and the lounge and study are in Resene Wireless, a soft grey.
