Hooked on colour
This cute coat rack for a kid’s bedroom catches the eye with its pastel hues. Or turn it into a bathroom towel rack by painting in a range of blue and green Resene testpots.
Top Resene decorating tip: Use the Resene Quick Dry waterborne primer to seal and smooth the surface before painting. This ensures that your colours go on evenly and reduces the need for multiple coats.
Father’s Day tool box
Create a tool box for Dad as a thoughtful gift this Father’s Day. Or, instead of the Father’s Day-themed message, add his name for an anytime gift.
Top Resene decorating tip: Choose Dad’s favourite team colours in Resene tespots for a custom decoration.
Sunrise shelf
Shelving has never looked this good! Display your precious trinkets on these ombre-effect shelves which will add a focus of sophistication.
Top Resene decorating tip: Make sure you have your choice of Resene testpots all ready before you start painting, as you’ll need to do the whole thing in one go to blend the ombre colours while the paint is wet.
Budget bench seat
Turn a simple bookcase on its side and add some woven baskets to transform it into a stylish seat with storage for shoes, etc. Add a coat rack beside the bench for coats and backpacks and you’ve got a handy place to get the kids ready in the morning.
Top Resene decorating tip: The addition of the pine bench, stained with Resene Colorwood wood stain, adds a contemporary touch for a designer-look result.
Turn old into new
Upcycle a tired old set of drawers and give it a new purpose with a bold geometric paint design.
Top Resene decorating tip: Turn your favourite image into a Resene colour palette with the online Resene Palette Generator. This amazing tool allows you to upload an image which will generate a Resene colour palette to match based on the most common colours in your image. It also allows you to download swatches to save or share.
DIY floating shelves
Floating shelves are a stylish and practical storage solution, offering a sleek way to display your favourite décor, plants, or books – all without sacrificing valuable floor space. This design utilises the Resene Wallpaper Collection to add a designer touch.
Top Resene decorating tip: For the topcoat, choose a durable enamel-style paint such as Resene Lustacryl (semi-gloss) or Resene Enamacryl (gloss) – both are hard-wearing and easy to wipe clean, perfect for shelves that will hold decorative items or books.
