The soothing shade of this Resene Traccia makes a peaceful haven of the vestibule. The wallpaper above is discontinued but try Tendresse wallpaper from Resene for a similar look. 

The colour scheme allowed for a dash of contemporary modern that didn’t battle with the more classic elements. Textured wallpaper updates the upper part of the living room walls – this is a discontinued wallpaper but Tendresse, available from Resene, will give a similar look.  The picture rail is painted in Resene Half Washed Green and a specially mixed colour now called Resene Lisa’s Special Mix is on the lower part of the walls. 

Lisa and Danny’s sun-drenched Edwardian Villa was built in the 1900s and boasts a fabulous layout and flow. The walls in this open-plan living, dining and kitchen area are a custom-made Resene Lisa’s Special Mix with Resene Daydream used in the kitchen to the right, along with Resene Sherwood Green trims. 

The couple broke tradition by using wallpaper above the picture rail and softer colours in the larger wall space below. Connor’s room uses Chacran 46015 wallpaper (from Resene), with Resene Raptor on the picture rail and Resene Linen on the lower part of the wall.

Noah’s bedroom is Lisa’s favourite because of its punchy modern feel. The bold orange striped wallpaper from The Flex Flash Funky range from Resene complements the tones of the rimu flooring. The lower walls are in Resene Half Sandspit Brown.

 

Resene Innuendo in the hallway provides moody warmth as you are led to the sunnier side of the home.

 

Lisa loves the ‘sexiness’ of Resene Rendezvous on the front door. It’s one of her favourite colours in the house.
