Sometimes to fit in, you have to stand out. That’s the philosophy behind the latest Your Home and Garden and Resene Colour Homes winner, which saw Bonnie Slade and Jason Callister take out the top prize with their fearless use of a mix of ReseneSpaceCote Low Sheen and ReseneLustacryl semi-gloss paint in their Nelson home. Bold use of colour can be seen on the floorboards, which are painted in Resene Spinnaker, and complemented with a tribal patchwork area rug. Resene Sea Fog can be seen on the walls throughout the house.Read the full story here. 


The 2023 Resene Colour Home Awards winner, Kareen Durbin, lives and breathes colour, pushing the envelope on bold shades and a jaw-dropping mural used for a stunning effect. Kareen transformed her former state house into a visual delight, a chocolate box of blues, browns and sorbets. “The wall surrounding the fireplace has been painted in a joyful abstract manner incorporating all the colours in the house,” Kareen says, which includes the likes of Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen in Resene Cinnamon and Resene Glorious.
