Resene knows that choosing the right colours can be difficult which is why Resene has a range of options to help you find the right colour scheme for your next project.
Option 1 – Imitation is the best form of flattery
Colour schemes need inspiration. And the best way to get inspired is to collect pictures of looks you like and looks you don’t like.
To help with inspiration, Resene has assembled a collection of projects from other keen DIYers where you can find free decorating ideas from real homes, owned by real people – free to view online.
They also have loads of fun project ideas as well as collaborations with local designers and magazines that cover everything from outdoor projects, furniture refinishing, upcycling and interior decorating to art or custom-painted items.
Resene also has the entire collection of Habitat magazines and Habitat plus books available to view online too and the latest decorating and colour ideas in their latest looks section. So much inspo!
New projects are being added every month showcasing the latest colours, trends and decorating ideas.
Once you’ve made your selections make sure you try them out with Resene testpots or Resene A4 drawdown paint swatches. It’s a small price to pay to know that the colours you’ve selected will look right in the area you’re planning to paint.
If you’re confident enough you can start painting but if you think you could do with a bit more help deciding what your overall look should be, or bringing the whole look together, Resene have experts on hand to help.
