There are coloured ceilings and then there's this! Designer Terry Hogg of Lick Light+Colour created this daring combo for his client using Resene Decadence on the ceiling and Resene Desperado on the chimney breast. The walls are Resene Black White.

A purple house – yep. This way-out scheme uses Resene Troubadour weatherboards, a Resene Deep Koamaru baseboard and window sill, red Resene Jalapeno windows and Resene Vista White window surrounds. Says owner Fiona Sheffield: “Children love it… but one little old lady thought it was a brothel.”

The inside of Fiona’s house is just as colourful, with a hallway in Resene Limerick, which she calls one of her ‘wake-up colours’. We can see why. There’s also a glimpse of the Resene Broom (yellow) and Resene Endeavour (blue) in the kitchen.
Rich saturated colour gives a jewel-like decadence to this bedroom. It uses Resene Pukeko walls, a Resene Smitten matchstick headboard, a Resene Flashback lighting shade (made from a bird cage), a Resene Centre Stage vase, and a Resene Seeker side table. See how stylist Claudia Kozub put this together.
Hot pink walls and a red rubber basin... Not for the faint-hearted, this bathroom belongs to Jan Warburton, and the colour (Resene Lipstick) was suggested by her fashion designer daughter Clare. We take a look at her home in a previous house feature: Jan's off-the-wall home design.
