A day for colour: Our most vibrant and dazzling designs yet!
Today might just be Resene’s favourite day of the year – it’s International Colour Day! International Colour Day was created to celebrate all things colour, and who loves colour more than Resene? We thought we would bring you some of the most colourful design ideas we could find to help you brighten any space in your home.
Make a statement with a one-of-a-kind design. Resene Wallpaper Collection 103846403 looks great as a feature wall in a living room or bedroom.
Resene Wallpaper Collection 103846403 transcends mere decoration, serving as a dynamic focal point that ignites the imagination and evokes a sense of wonder. Bursting with hues, it creates a kaleidoscope of visual delight that enlivens any room it graces. Intricate shapes interplay with delicate botanical motifs, seamlessly blending the structured with the organic. If you’re going for a maximalist look, this one could be for you. If you’re opting for a feature wall, paint your surrounding walls in complementary shades like Resene Ottoman, Resene Mystic or Resene Merino.
Layer your bold colours in different shapes across a wall for a fantastic, lively impact.

Are you someone who is naturally drawn to a vibrant colour and want to bring it into your home in a tasteful way? The good news is you can, and one way to do this is by painting your own wall mural! Staying true to our tastes ensures our homes are extensions of who we are, and it encourages others to be bold with their decisions too. You might have a large open-plan living area with limited full-wall space. Why not find a small section of that wall and go for it?
Start by creating your design on cardboard first practising with your Resene testpots. Once you’ve decided on the right scale for your design, apply it in paint to your wall. Try using three different colours within your mural for added adventure. For a muted pastel mural, try Resene Mint Julep, Resene Ebb and Resene Cut Glass or for a bold, vivid mural, try Resene Home Run, Resene Havelock Blue and Resene Smitten.

Add some colour through a painted feature wall like this one. It might look tricky, but if you’re not doing straight lines, you can make the odd mistake and nobody will ever know. Sure, this one was painted by all-round creative person, stylist Megan Harrison-Turner but even she surprised herself with how easy it was to transform a plain wall into something so gorgeous and dramatic. First, she found an inspirational photograph online, then sketched the outline of the hills in pencil, then added the paint using Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen. The most difficult part was choosing the colours, but you can easily create a colour palette by loading a favourite photo into the Resene Colour Palette Generator, www.resene.com/palettegenerator.
Instead of this purple toned mural, opt for calming greens like Resene Willow Brook, Resene Surf Crest, Resene Spring Rain and Resene Amulet.
